SpeedCubeLegend's Progression Thread | Aiming for Sub-10 3x3, Sub-5 Pyraminx | Upcoming Comp!

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

I literally just tied my PB single, and it had a PLL skip as well. I've gotten 10.44 seconds twice.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

I've finally done it. After 10 months of cubing, I present to you my first sub-10 3x3 single.

9.73 seconds.

Scramble: B R2 D2 B D2 R2 F U2 R2 F' R2 B2 R B2 U F2 R U2 L' U'

y2 x2// Inspection
R2 U' R' F R B2// Cross
y R U R' y' L U L' R U' R'// First Pair
y2 R U2 R' y U L' U' L// Second Pair
R U' R' U2 y L' U' L// Third Pair
y R U2 R' U' R' U2 R2 U R2 U R// Fourth Pair
U R U R' U R U2 R'// Sune
U2// PLL Skip

I was so surprised. I literally jumped up and celebrated lol. I was especially surprised because it was a normal cross and no free F2L pairs, but my lookahead and turning was just really great and I got lucky with the PLL skip at the end. Hopefully I reconstructed correctly, but one thing I notice is that I need to reduce cube rotations.

Congrats! I don't think you got lucky with a PLL skip, you just used ZBLL.

Thanks! And that's an interesting way to look at it lol

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Does anyone have recommendations for setting up my RS3M 2020? Mostly with tensioning and spring settings. I like my cube faster and smooth, but would like to have minimal lockups and still have it be controllable. I've tried many settings but I can't seem to find the one that is right for me.

 

[d---]

I actually loosened the screws a bit in mine then turned the adjustment to nine
Idk if that works for you tho

 

[hyn]

blue thing to the highest, and then mystic or some other fast-ish lube

Nice! Also, how is your RS3M going?

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Nice! Also, how is your RS3M going?

Thanks! I think I found a decent setup, I put the blue thing to 4 and I just kept tightening and loosening it until it felt okay. I'm getting pretty good times, so I think I'll just stop messing with it. My violent and fast turning style might be part of the problem, so I need to change that more than I need to change the cube.
