Wow. I now main 5 Qiyi NxN's.
I got the Valk 3 M, cleaned and tensioned it, then set it up with Silk on the tracks and martian on the pieces. And let me tell you, it is incredible. It's now become my main, and I've been getting some of my best times ever on it. I don't understand why companies can't make cubes like they used to.

So, when fully warmed up I average from 10.8-11.4.
I'd like to bring that down to a consistent 10.5.
Any tips?
Cross + 1, in both an X-Cross and planning first pair. Start by tracking a corner, then predicting, then predicting and tracking corner and edge, then predicting the whole pair.
