    Would like feedback on my solves :) thanks

    My main problem is the fact that I am so inconsistent. I average 17.5 global, but it can vary from getting 13 second solves, plenty of 15s, but also plenty of 18/19s. It feels that my look ahead is just so much better sometimes, and other times its just so bad. I don't know why. Any tips are...

    [Help Thread] How to Get Faster using the Fridrich / CFOP Method
