"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

Brian I'm guessing since you're learning full PLL that you know intuitive F2L and 2-look OLL. Learning more things at your speed aren't really necessary. Work just on cross and F2L and make sure that your recognition isn't totally awful. Have you checked out this thread?

Give it a read. It's a pretty good guide for what you should work on and when.

That is great. Thank you!

I do white cross on bottom and intuitive F2l, but I still have to bring first layer corner cubies out to the third layer before solving them. I do 2 Look OLL and almost full PLL. According to that post I guess I should be focusing on the cross and F2L, but I can't help but finishing what I've started with the PLLs. I was planning to start working on more OLL cases after that, but maybe I should reconsider!
 
Don't bother with learning OLLs for quite some time. I'm still using 2-look and there's a vid Erik Akkersdijk put up of him doing beginner's LBL method with 4-look last layer and he had a sub-20 average. If you're still pulling out your bottom layer cubies then you need to work on F2L a lot. Efficient F2L, Cross and 4LLL can take you pretty far but if you're doing 3LLL you can easily sub-30 it and even sub-20 with just that. You don't really need to learn more. Just practice what you know. If you're that close to finishing full PLL then finish that up but after that focus on F2L. You should be able to pair up you corners and edges in the top layer and then insert them together without having to pull out the white corner for most cases. If you haven't watched badmephisto's F2L tutorials I highly recommend them. More than anything else. I'll get the links to his vids.

Still working on faster execution and recognition of 2-look PLL but I've definitely improved immensely on it. Just barely started to learn 2-look OLL but I'm hoping I'll have it learned for next round.

yay..15 second drop from last week (last week i switched to proper fingertricks). guess practicing all week doing a crap load of OH really works

Still using CFOP though, can't wait for me to finish learning CPLS/ 2gll so i can switch to zz for my solves :)
