How many cubers have already achieved sub10?

So, I dunno if the original question was answered. How many cubers have achieved sub-10? There are cubers coming out of the woodwork everyday with sub-10 avgs. Even officially, you have that 12-year old kid who got a sub-10 avg. So I'm sure the list is much bigger than it currently is numbered at 45.

Interesting to note:

-Of the 4 people with a PB of 7.xx-second avg of 12, 1 has a sub-10 official avg of 5--Feliks.
-Of the 10 people with a PB of 8.xx-second avg of 12, 0 have sub-10 official avg of 5.
-Of the 33+ people with a PB of 9.xx-second avg of 12, 3 have sub-10 official avg of 5--Erik, Tomasz, Kanneti.

I don't know Haowei Fan's stats at home so this excludes him.

So, 15 people has sub-9 average of 12 at home but no official sub10 average? That is interesting.

Well for these 3, I think it has something to do with the many competition experiences they have. They have been going to a lot of competition recently and I guess they are good at dealing with nerves too.

nonono. Either you say 1 of the 12 sub9 guys or 0 of the 8 sub9 guys who have sub9 but NOT sub8

Wrong, at least Feliks does.

See, that happens when people use flawed terminology.

Fixed.

The 10 people I was referring to was the 8 mentioned in the "sub-9" list in the OP + the 2 that Feliks just mentioned. But ya, I guess there should be a more realistic name for it. I guess when people generally say sub-15 they think 14 seconds not 9 second avg even though 9 seconds is still technically sub-15.

Regardless it's fixed.

It is also interesting to note that the slower your times are at home, the closer the times are to official competition times (at least in this given pool of sub-10'ers). Although I think the stronger correlation might be what Oliver suggested; the fact that those 3 go to competitions more frequently. But Faz destroys that idea with only 5 competitions and a couple official 8 second avg's.

It seems the faster you get, the more your brain gets in the way in competitions since you're thinking "Oh **** Oh **** this really matters". At home it's so relaxed you can just concentrate on lookahead and let your fingers do the work.

I also read that it's been shown that when your system is flooded with adrenaline (as in a competition) your fine motor functions are decreased by up to 30% of normal function... Which would explain why when you solve in a competition your cube and hands always feels disgusting and slow.

People like Faz and Conny are just outliers ;)
 
You just have to NOT get flooded with adrenaline at a competition. Faz's meetups at a mall could have helped with that ability.

Or, you could just be REALLY accurate at turning in practice - way more than your cube requires - and then being less accurate in competition won't matter.

You're probably right about that first point (although I think Faz' prodigious talent and skill is just as much a factor).

I think the latter is something most people don't pay attention to atm, but I think we really should. Breandan Vallance is the only person I know of who has a much tighter 'practice cube' to both strengthen his hands and make him turn more accurately.
 
It's worse for me.

Andres Flügel from Germany just did the second German sub-10 avg12. It was 9.92.
His second best avg12 is only 10.81, though :p

EDIT: Jan Smarschevski of Germany just got 9.89 avg12 :)

Only me finding german family names funny? Maybe that's just because Flügel probably would be pronounced the same way as a Grand piano in swedish...
