[Help Thread] Help with progression

[HGcuber]

Hey,
I’ve recently learnt 3x3 CFOP (F2L, 2 look OLL and PLL) and have been practicing daily. I average around 45-50s with my best at 39.6s.

Some questions:
1. Im struggling with where to progress to next. I’d say my OLL and PLL are good, with some improvement needed for F2L. What should i do now? Should i start trying to learn full PLL, more F2L cases or something else?
2. I can’t seem to find any good F2L resources, all I can find is full F2L but i want to start learning some more basic cases, rather then what i currently do which is put every piece in the top layer with the white facing the side. I know there is much easy ways for some pairs but i can’t find any resources.
3. How do i efficiently learn full PLL? When I learnt 2-look PLL, I simply wrote all the algorithms down and practiced solving the last layer with them until i could memorise them all. This was not efficient at all and I can’t seem to find any advice on how to learn many algorithms at once quickly.
4. What are the best speedcube options for a budget of around $25 - $30? I definitely need a new speedcube as I found my current one in the back of a cupboard and its old and pops often (please dont judge).

Thanks in advance

1.If ur oll and pll are good, learn more f2l cases
2.Try this https://cubingcheatsheet.com/algs3x_f2l.html
3.I found algs that made logical sense to me, and just memorized the easily
4.Really good option: https://www.thecubicle.com/products...x3?_pos=5&_sid=f9f14dfb6&_ss=r&_fid=8349e5c4d

Hello my brarha yes you are very good so basically I was in your position a few weeks ago and what I did to get sub 30 is practice more f2l you know like dont force yourself to keep stopping and regripping after every move and start learning pll oll cases and analyze how they work to understand the algroithems used in advanced f2l, there are some videos you can find on youtube they really help in understanding the algroithems.
Edit: also analyzing the cube before starting solve for alottt of time can help you with doing cross really fast

thanks for the help, i will use that f2l sheet and i will consider getting that cube once ive checked reviews

thanks, i definetly should practice look ahead and planning my cross during inspection, and it will help me to understand cases intuitvely
