Do you have lots of tricks for solving centres, Mike? How do you keep it interesting? Maybe I find them boring because I have a boring way of solving them .
Can't ... find ... dislike ... button ...
I don't have anything bigger than a 9x9 unfortunately, but will get there ... sometime The Valk Power is a great cube IMO. I used it as my main for a while and even switched my OH (One Hand) cube from the GTS2 to it. It's really smooth but carries weight so feels nicely sturdy. Yeah welcome to the club of buying cubes. I bit the bullet and ordered the Giiker i3S this week.How many here have solved the 11 x 11 ? I have done it a few times.
Oh and I just ordered the Valk 3 m power. I think I may have a problem with ordering cubes now.
A while back I would have disagreed, but I do prefer 6x6 to 7x7. It has some to do with the hardware and being able to turn easily without issues. I have a Wuji and I'm still not impressed with it. Granted it's not magnetised ... but still. I'd like to get a 7x7 that is a pleasure to solve on. The Hays M seems to be great, but the X-Man Shadow is due for release soon ....6x6 is still best. 3x3 stage is too important on anything smaller, 7x7 takes too long and there’s not as much flexibility in centers.
Shadow is 6x6, 7x7 is Spark and already released on about January, 5.X-Man Shadow is due for release soon ....
Yup, you're right Although TheCubicle only has it on pre-order at the moment. I'll see if cubezz are stocking it yet.Shadow is 6x6, 7x7 is Spark and already released on about January, 5.
Already available through some China stores and the number of proposals is growing.Yup, you're right Although TheCubicle only has it on pre-order at the moment. I'll see if cubezz are stocking it yet.
hi, I will be 50 next month. what cube do you use, and what solving method. i'm nowhere near sub 30 yet.Hey everyone! Just saying hello, and looking to talk to other old cubers. I'm 50, have been to 2 comps so far, and have a 3x3 PB of 24.08. Dan AKA "OldManCuber"

I started cubing when the cube first came out, but since then have had long absenses in between. a few years back I set myself a goal of beating 1 minute, which I do quite regularly, I even hit a 32 years back. I will be happy to break the 30 second barrier for now. I recently got the gan 354 m, excellent cube. but I also got the valk 3 power m and really like that one too.Hey Boogie Dude, I use a GAN 354 M and CFOP. I know full PLL but still use 2 look OLL. In early 2018, I learned the old Varasano Corner's First method for 3x3, and got a 32.28. How long have you been speedcubing? How much do you practice?

Is this the same Varasano method that was adapted for 2x2 as Oretega?
Older video. I’d be interested to read the book he mentions.... for entertainment, if nothing else.Is this the same Varasano method that was adapted for 2x2 as Oretega?
