Introducing myself

[uniacto]

Hey everyone, my name is Gabriel, and I've recently become more interested in speedcubing. I've watched tutorials on youtube, and in 4-6 months, I've gotten my average time for a 3x3 to around 30-35 seconds. My pb is 25.38, but I haven't really managed to get sub 30 averages consistenly. I use the Fridrich method, with F2l and 2 Look OLL and PLL. Any tips on how to get faster would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

your turning is awesome

->work on your lookahead.

hi! xD

I recommend you turn much slower during F2L. You are limited by look-ahed, so slowing down your turning speed should not affect your times that much and it will help with look-ahead.

how much slower? I've been trying lookahead, but i'm not seeing a significant difference in my times. does it take awhile to decrease times or something?

not slower is important, but more fluent; without any pauses between the single turns/ pair inserts. once you manage to maintain a certain fluidity in your solves, you can slowly try to turn faster and your times will improve significantly.

ah okay.. that makes sense... do you think it's possible to get sub 25 by the end of august with lookahead?
