how do i get better?

[ExtazyCuber]

ive been solving a 3X3 cube for about 2 mounthes now
and im standing on 32 normal avg
14.74 single record
27.60 5 avg
how do i get better?
iknow 18 PLL's
and using 2 look OLL

 

[bluedasher]

Practice F2L and learn all the PLL's. People don't think this is much help, but practice!

By using the search function for a question that has already ben asked 100's of times.

And before being able to give any usefull tips we should know which method you are using...

im using fredrich's method
sorry for not knowing about the search thingy im new here
and sorryy about my english its not my main

wtf, how do you have a 14 single if your pb avg5 is 27? I didn't get a single sub20 til I was real averaging like 24.
Uhhh, without a video or anything, all we can tell you is practice, learn the last 3 PLLs, start learning easy OLLs, practice f2l, lookahead, make sure you solve cross in 8 moves or less.

 

[Winball]

Ignore the f2l-pair you are inserting, and look for the next pair. Learn hard f2l-cases.
Learn to use L-layer
I struggled with Cross when I was about where you are now.

And don't bother timing your solves, and just stick with the 2-look oll for now

 

[mr6768]

work on your speed and fingertricks.
get all your plls down to 3secs .
try to go faster while looking ahead.

 

[uberCuber]

how the hell do you have a 14 second solve when you average over 30 seconds?? I am sub-20 and my PB single is only one second better than yours...

 

[a small kitten]

Hey, my pb is almost twice as fast as my average.

 

[marthaurion]

use magic

 

[bluedasher]

Hey, my pb is almost twice as fast as my average.

Yeah, same here. It just looks unrealistic when you are dealing with a 27 then a 14. There is more of a difference in between those numbers.

 

[Narraeson]

Pro tip: search bar.
And, to get better, one must learn and practice.

 

[ExtazyCuber]

1 F2L in place 2 ready to be inserted OLL skip u perm PLL
thats explains my single?

i have learned all of the PLL's
can some one give me easy OLL's?

 

[RyanReese09]

Hey, my pb is almost twice as fast as my average.

my pb lucky is 8.12 and i really average 17.3ish. so same ;P

practice is the only thing that can make a huge difference at ur speed. give us ur splits (cross/f2l/pll/oll)

edit-learning OLL wont drop ur times that much, just work on ur solves. u can sub20 easily with 2look OLL

We dont care about your english because it has nothing to do with your logic thinking <.<

 

[stufkan]

Singles vary much. When I averaged about 25-35 my singles weren't much better than my average, and suddenly when averaging about 20-21 I got a 11.68 single. Still stands as my single record when averaging 16-ish now -.-

OT:
Practice is the way to go. Go slow and think about your moves instead of speeding up, trying to beat your record, you will rarely accomplish anything that way.
Try to find out what you need to train the most. If your LL sucks, learn those algorithms and try to find out if you have some sucky algorithms to alter. If your average PLL is 3 seconds, and your Eperm is 5, you probably want to practice your alg or find a better alg for your fingertricks. If your f2l is slow, practice it. If your cross is slow, practice it. When you are good at everything, repeat step 1

first of all my cross sucks
so cross: 5.08
f2l:13.61
oll:5.16
pll:3.55

that was a preety good solve.
maybe the f2l alittel longer(in a normal solve)
and pll maybe a littel longer

 

[RyanReese09]

you should be able to get OLL down to 4 seconds with 2 look (very reasonable)-others can do faster but yeah
pll, aim for 2 seconds execution, drill those algs

cross, look at advanced cross tutorials on youtube. practice cross blindfolded. get it down to 2 seconds.

f2l, just practice a crap load. avoid rotations. try inserting at different angles
