I can't believe it!
Yesterday I had my first sub-4 average of 5 at 2x2 which already was sub-WR! (3.09)

And today I got another 4 sub-4 avgs, where the worst was 3.86 and the best 3.38!!!

And now the totally amazing accomplishment:

Wow, madness! I'd love to see a sub-10 ZZ solve on vid...

EDIT: That's a nice ZZ F2L solve, I see you're no longer thinking EOCross, nice one
EDIT2: I usually do 6 bad edges using the 3+3 strategy (its usually less moves), so for example for this scramble EO alone would be B L2 R' F'

Pretty pleased with that
I still have a lot of bad habits (like doing EO + Line, or EO + cross), and my EOLine is completely to blame for the inconsistency. The 10.29 was an EPLL skip. Pre-inspection is probably DNF-able on about half the solves, too...

When you do EO+Line, are you anticipating the line moves during inspection? There's probably not a huge difference between doing that and an optimised Line.

When I plan EOLine, instead of optimising for move count I usually try to plan a line which ends with D or D' since it makes F2L lookahead easier. My worst case line moves usually go something like:
D' Rx/Lx D
or
Lx Rx D
.. so during planning any EO which leaves either one line edge placed or each edge in the L and R slices is acceptable. I find going for this strategy, rather than an optimal line is quicker for me.

It depends, if the EO stage is short (mostly 2s or 4s) I'll lookahead for the whole EOLine. Mostly I'll just notice one during the EO stage and look for the other after finishing EO.
Once I've done today's work (which I haven't even started) I'll probably dedicate most of this evening to getting better at EOLine, it's really holding me back from sub 15. My f2l is probably nearly as fast as my Fridrich and my LL is slightly faster.

It depends, if the EO stage is short (mostly 2s or 4s) I'll lookahead for the whole EOLine. Mostly I'll just notice one during the EO stage and look for the other after finishing EO.
Once I've done today's work (which I haven't even started) I'll probably dedicate most of this evening to getting better at EOLine, it's really holding me back from sub 15. My f2l is probably nearly as fast as my Fridrich and my LL is slightly faster.

That's pretty cool, I reckon with enough practice it should be possible to get EOLine almost as fast as cross... maybe so that EOLine+LL ~= Cross+OLL/PLL
ZZ F2L should in theory be quicker than Fridrich, especially if you're good with your left hand. Mine is certainly a lot faster than Fridrich, but then again, I don't really practice Fridrich slots much :rolleyes:
