"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

GuHong is okay imo, it's not great and it's not horrible. You just have to get used to the speed and you have to kind of learn how to be a more accurate turner. But the corner cutting is amazing.

Best A12 yet! I was really thinking that this week would be the first sub-30 average. I'm excited, seeing that I haven't practiced 3x3 much in the past 3 days.

Basically what AvidCuber said. It also pops a bit which is annoying, but it's still pretty good. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to use the Guhong or A5 as my main cube, if that helps.
Actually, this is the most pop resistant cube I've ever used. If yours pops, I suggest you fine tune the tensions, mine are about the same as the Alpha V (maybe a bit looser), and it still cuts corners really well.
Carson, I'm going to join again for color neutrality too, I'm pretty much okay with color neutral already but I'd like to get more comfortable with it.

Hmmm.... It pops, it doesn't pop, it cuts corners... Sounds pretty cool to me! I just like the fact that there are no stickers to wear off.

Forgot which side I was solving on for the 41.06. :fp
I made a video:
I average 25-27 for non-colour neutral:
The cube was a DaYan GuHong in both vids.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Yay video!
What's the name of the timer you are using?
Nice slow turning, and you are pretty fast with your PLL execution. (I'm working on memorizing G-perms right now and I can't do them fast at all)

Thanks, my E-perm sucks though...
And I pretty much use 2-look PLL, unless I come across an Rb, Jb, T, or Y perm, 'cause I know those. I've been too lazy to memorize the rest
It's the QJ timer, it's a really nice/cheap timer, no data port though.

Same here. I don't like it when I have to use 2look PLL because it adds like 5 seconds to a normal time.
Yeah, I should probably start learning full PLL...it might help my times a little bit...
Although admittedly, getting to sub-30 with crappy cross, intuitive F2L, and 4LLL is pretty good...

Saber has returned!
I got a GuHong while I was gone and after tons of lube ( a mix of Maru and Jig-A-Loo) it's very good. Every time I try and pop it corner cuts. I'll post my average later.

29.28, 29.19, 30.27, (DNF) , 32.43, 30.91, 33.03, 28.22+, 36.66, 28.53, 32.03, (24.08)
Extremely bad average.
Anyway, I used my GuHong and surprisingly I got 7 pops during the whole average, and 1 of them was half the cube (DNF). :fp
I'll definitely tighten and fine-tune it now that I've finished.
Carson - It might be that people are starting to graduate or possibly they've been taking breaks/quit/on vacation trips.
Oh and btw, I'm definitely here to stay and hopefully more people will be back. I'll be sticking around here until I get around sub-22, so I'll be here for several more months.

Welp, what else can I do? I actually felt really good about this run. Was warming in up and my fingers felt real good and still couldn't sub-30. Keep on practicing I guess.
