26.75 PB!!

The first two triples each has a correct triangle matched to it
Centers were really nice
LBT is misalligned by a U'
sledge L3T into a 2 flip case

When is it worth learning 1-look TCP?

View attachment 51113

nice time but your colour scheme scares me

 

[K3n]

When is it worth learning 1-look TCP?

Probably when you finished learning 2 look and average 35-40s (works for me)

Btw, do you guys use half centers in FTO or just solve each center one by one?

 

[ClockIt]

When is it worth learning 1-look TCP?

The beggining because, its more efficient and easier to understand

 

[ClockIt]

Probably when you finished learning 2 look and average 35-40s (works for me)

Btw, do you guys use half centers in FTO or just solve each center one by one?

I solve each center one by one, is that less efficient Im curious?

 

[K3n]

Currently I also do centers one-by-one but then half-centers pops up in my mind and when I try to implement it, I don't see any significant difference (yet)
Do you know what top solves use (Aedan Bryant, Ben streeter, ...)?

 

[ClockIt]

My first sub 30 !!! *done at my grandparents*

 

[iguana]

Got a PB ao12 earlier today!
