Help for cubers who want to beat sub-x (CFOP)

[MJS Cubing]

I recently finished learning full PLL and I am pretty much sub-20 now. I'm not sure where to go next. My F2L is about 10-13 seconds, and my OLL is about 5 with 2 look. I was wondering if it would be better to learn F2L or OLL now.

What do you mean by 'learning' F2L? Do you mean learning algs, or making it faster, or maybe something else? Generally though, I would focus mainly on F2L and sprinkle in some OLL's

I mean by learning algs, as opposed to intuative F2L.

The original post is very well thought through and I do think the topics within each sub-x provide good guidance. I’m currently working towards sub-20 all the major areas of my solve I’m focusing on are in the post so that’s reassuring.

@Zubin Park. I do think having a blank line after each 1. 2. 3. Etc would make each sub-x section easier to read and and skim through. It is currently just a wall of words and this suggestion is definitely subjective. Small potatoes.

No problem, I will work on that and clean up today.

Goal: Sub 15: This is a HUGE milestone for any cuber, as the amount of people that are sub-20 are about equal to the # of people that can run a sub-4 mile. Congrats! You’ve made it this far, and never quit (or maybe those few times when your cube randomly exploded).

It's more accurate to say that the amount of people that are sub-20 are roughly proportional to the number of people that can run a sub-4:00 mile

Haha i thought the same thing when I read that part today but didn't comment on it.

Haha. At least you're getting feedback, that means we're actually using the thread!

Maybe its a glitch...

I hope so...

I’m just started getting sub 1 minute solves and then learned beginners oll and pll and My solves have gone back up how do I improve oll and pll

I would recommend you specifically practice last layer if you are struggling with it. On csTimer you can select 3x3 > last layer under the scramble, which will give you last layer scrambles

@Zubin Park

the mention doesn't work anymore

@Zubin Park

the mention doesn't work anymore

if the staff knows what happened maybe they could tell us

I’m starting to get bored of cubing because I am not progressing I went down to sub 1 minuets in a week and then went down to sub fifty in the next week and got a 46.72 average of five but am not progressing any more so how do I progress and practice effectively

learn intuitive f2l if you haven't already, it might seem slow at first but you get faster with more practice.

Well the rate of progression rapidly slows, you just need to keep learning algs and finger tricks. it doesn’t come overnight, i’ve been cubing for almost 4 years and I just got sub 20 a few weeks ago.
