Your U*20 speed?

[Stefan]

How fast can you pull U with your right index finger 20 times in a row (five times U4)? No index+middle finger tricks or continuous rotation, just 20 individual index finger pulls. Post your exact time below and vote in the above poll I'll add in a moment. I'm looking for your best, so you can try as often as you want. You also may want to take breaks. If you're faster with U' 20, do that. Please use a regular speedcube, so for example no tiny cube that lets you do this fast but which is no good for speedsolving. Don't pick up or drop your cube, I just want to know the time for the moves.

Me: 3.28

The reason is that I just watched some Rowe and now I'm frustrated about my finger/turning speed. I'm starting to seriously practice this stuff now, and I'd like to get some goals so I'm interested in how fast for example this little exercise can be done. I know U20 isn't exactly what anyone would do in a solve, but I can't expect meaningful measurements of just one U so this is sort of an average.

My time was 4.06.

If you want an average:
Times: 4.71, (5.63), 4.11, (4.06), 4.94
Average: 4.59

4.0 - 4.5

08.75 D:, improvment expected

i voted wrong :fp

can anyone figure out how xP
i followed the rules

 

[Zarxrax]

4.72

 

[Lucas Garron]

3.47 first try, and now I can't beat it. :-/

EDIT: 3.41

Does cube size count? I tried it on a normal cube just once, and got 3.68

Also: 3.43 for (U')20

 

[PEZenfuego]

I tried this with the left index finger and got 6.21 my first try. With the right index finger I got 4.31

 

[miniGOINGS]

Ok. My best is 3.96, my best A5 is 4.05.

U' is 4.14.

 

[Sa967St]

my best is 3.77

Gears, you're the only person to get sub-3 so far, not to mention almost sub-2. You must be doing something different.

4.08

U' instead of U is alright, whatever is faster for you.

Does cube size count?

Well, I'd say it's most meaningful to measure it with your normal speedcube as ultimately I am interested in solve times. So a tiny cube that lets you do this thing fast but which is no good for speedsolving otherwise is not good for this analysis.

How are you starting the timer for this one? Does this include picking the cube up and dropping?

How did you manage to be seven options off?

can anyone figure out how xP

I assume you made one continuous rotation rather than 20 individual pulls.

Held in hands, no picking up or dropping.

Video or it didn't happen.

I got 3.7

 

[nlCuber22]

2.90, 3.16, 2.90, 3.18, 3.35 = 3.03.
2.90's were pretty epic. I highly doubt anyone has subbed-2.5.

EDIT: 2.87. I can't go any faster than that, it makes my fingers hurt.
EDIT2: 2.81+2 >_>

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

Wtf, my fastest is 3.56
How are you getting such low times

 

[LewisJ]

Pretty easily 3.5-4 on my mini QJ 3x3 but on my type F I'm 4-4.5. I think it is a lot in how easy it is to do the flick on the cube or how easily the cube will turn as I do the same range of motion with my finger on either cube but my mini turns much more easily.
