Someone popped my type A cube today during a cube demo and so I lost one of my corner pieces. So I had a cube without a corner piece. I first tried fitting type D corners in (all the corners, not just the lost one), didn't turn out very well, because the type D corners were slightly larger, so the cube felt very uneven.
Then I tried fitting Japanese speedcubing kit corners into my type A, and it's turning miraculously well. It's cutting corners like a type A should (better, perhaps?), and pops much less than a pure type A, and the best part is, I tried a PLL time attack on it and instantly did a sub-50 on my first try, zero lockups and obviously zero pops as well. And I'm not even consistently sub-55 yet, only done 4 sub-50s in my life, and that includes this one. So I've got a feeling this is gonna be my main speedcube once I change the stickers
(because my type A has tiles on them while the Japanese corners have normal stickers, so recognition is a bit tricky because of the different shades of colors.)
Can anyone try this out too and tell me if they're getting the same results? Corners from Japanese speedcubing kit, and every other part of the cube from type A.
