[Help Thread] Tips on turning more accurately?

[The_Real_Carmx]

I often overshoot or undershoot and this leads to lock ups (together with the fact that my cube is the worst tensioned cube ever atm).
Anyone got any tips on how to improve

There is a Dylan Miller video on this, on his channel.

The most important thing is being fluid. If you practice on an unforgiving cube, you adapt to be more accurate.

try practicing on a cube with 0 cornercutting, it will make you develop more percise turns

basically a Rubik's brand /j

no not really bc rubiks brand will make your fingers turn stronger causing you to overshoot. Pretty much just any 3 dollar cheap plastic cube from a dollar store works

The only cube I had for a while was the QiYi Warrior S, which is a non-magnetic cube with very low corner cutting. I used this cube until I got my first magnetic cube when my average was sub-40, which I'm pretty sure is why my turning style is very accurate. If you train your turning style on a bad cube such as that one, I would imagine it would become very accurate.

Well my cube is tensioned like, really badly, already so that must be a good thing in this context.
I'm gonna try and tension it properly though.

Not necessarily. Bad tensions have a very small impact compared to not having magnets or good corner cutting.

Well, it's tensioned so bad it doesn't corner cut properly

If you tension all the sides so corner cutting is bad, that will work

you can also do the reverse, which is loosening it to the point where you cant control it
