It takes time to get used to, but it's hard to sub-1 sune without it. Basically you just have to do R U R' and then leave your ring finger on BRU (BUR?) and move your whole hand to the left to do the turn.

I do the second U by pushing on LBU with my left index finger.

Also sub-1 is easy for sune, even with regrips.

Will changing the core and screw of a dollarstore cube help it from popping?

Maybe. But you also risk cracking the entire puzzle. I would probably leave it.

Too many cubing ads will brainwash you.

What is Standard Deviation? If the deviation is higher is that bad?

 

[cyoubx]

Bad? Not really. It just means you're not as consistent.

I think OLL/PLL is more popular than CLL/ELL, is there a time difference? Which do you think is more efficient?

 

[xXzaKerXx]

Erik just posted an avg of 12 using CLL/ELL yesterday.

It's less practical than OLL/PLL, and recognition takes a tad longer. But I'm convinced that if somebody practices it long enough, it can be as fast as OLL and PLL too.

Why is it less practical

 

[xXzaKerXx]

The recognition, and flipped pieces? That's for me, but I'm sure others won't find it so cumbersome. I do use CLL, but I'm not very fluent at it yet. I guess I'm too used to OLL/PLL.

Higher simply means your times vary quite a bit, this can be good and bad, but I think more bad. It's like WR!! then 13.11 then WR!!! then 17??? then WR!!! then 15?? But lower means, eg. 11.00, 11.24,11.42,11.02,10,99
That's pretty consistent

Practice. A LOT. Then practice lookahead.
