[Unofficial] Ao5 24.56 - Feedback requested

These times are slower than usual because the room is SO cold. My average lately has been about 22 sec. I had a timer FAIL on the 3rd solve, so it wasn't counted in the Ao5 (even though it would have helped).

This is straight CFOP: full OLL, full PLL, and *slow* F2L with a Zhanchi.

Constructive feedback would be appreciated!!!

Straight from the start, I noticed that your look-ahead isnt very good. You tend to have this, turn-stop-look-turn-etc motion. Since you do move rather slowly, use that to look for the next pieces. While youre in the middle of solving the f2l pair, look for the next pair.

And your cross to f2l transition. There is also a pause there. So use your inspection time to plan out your cross. Start timer, do cross and since you already know that the cross will be done, dont even worry about and start f2l

Your LL seems to very nice!

practise hard and dont give up.

I noticed you never used the U2 or U2' trigger. It's where you push the a BU corner once with your index finger then once again with your middle finger. It can be done much faster than doing U U or U' U' where you use your index finger twice. Using them makes a big difference in lots of algs, and it would make your F2L smoother.

Like already mentioned, your look-ahead can be improved, as well as your turning speed, but those naturally improve when you do lots of solves. If you want to focus on something specific, I suggest practicing fingertricks. There's nothing wrong with your solutions (they were easy to follow along because of the good lighting and camera angle ). Performing them differently would make all the difference.

Thanks, Chris. This looks like it is executed slowly, but efficient.

Thanks, Sarah, Chris, and Panda! Any additional feedback would be helpful!

I did another video today. Much improved... Ao5 of 19.71.
