Very nice and consistent average for first round of racing to sub 3. I don't mind about the 4 because it was the only one in the average. I broke both PB Ao12 and Ao5 this week :) (broke Ao5 twice)

I think improvement from here is like 90% look a head based. Heaps of solves and practice still helps but almost all my sub 3's are from most of the solve being seen in inspection with the last 2 or 3 moves done normally.

Nice! I have been practicing Pyraminx a lot the past week and I have an Ao50 - 5.97!

I have a comp in 2 weeks and I'm hoping to win pyraminx.

Next round up soon!

Do you guys have any info on the best pyraminx? I have to Moyu Magnetic right now and I would say it is pretty good. Some of the problems though are that it locks up frequently and the tips are not very good. Do I just have it not set up correctly?

I'm worried because I have a comp in a couple weeks and I don't want any lockups or +2s.

I was looking at some different pyraminx's and I looks like the X-Man Bell pyraminx is awesome.

Thanks for any help.

I don't have the bell, but I've heard that the magnets in it are stronger, so that may help with alignment and reduce lockups. Idk, just what I've heard.
 
Yes, looking at the reviews on TheCubicle.us it looks better. Though some people said it was worse then the Moyu M.
I was actually thinking about getting the bell, but then the moyu went on sale so I got that instead. A lot of reviews say that the bell is better, probably just personal preference. Your times will probably be within 1 second of each other if you switch.
 
ROUND 22
Lewis
Method: LBL
Goal: Sub-8
Cube: Moyu Magnetic Pyraminx

Times: 7.16, 8.18, 7.29, (6.22), 7.64, 7.40, 6.42, 7.67, 8.75, (9.72), 6.53, 6.84.

Average: 7.39

Think this was a combination of using a new pyraminx and trying to make an effort to turn a little more slowly and a little less haphazardly. It feels a little teensy bit cheaty that my first proper sub-8 on here could all just be down to hardware and not personal improvement though.
