How to be consistent at sub 9 at 7x7x7

[primecuber]

I've been practicing 7x7 ALOT and i'm averaging about 9:20.00. My PB is 8:47.xy. Any tips to consist sub 9?

My splits are usually 4:30-3:50-35

I totally thought this was a tutorial on how to be sub 9. -.-

It's all about turning faster and looking ahead as much as you can. I'd suggest working on your edges. Do you do freeslice edges?

Are you really that excited about being able to solve a 7x7 in less than 9 minutes? I mean please, lets be realistic here...

I have only done one attempt at 7x7 in my life, didn't know to use Niklas for centers, so the entire solve ended up being like 57 minutes long. I don't really care.

what is this? Centers should be intuitive

I'm assuming he means the final few pieces that need to be swapped in the centers.

But I was stuck at the last 2 centers and i just needed to swap just 2 pieces, then about 15 minutes into me trying stuff Ryan told me to just use niklas for that and about 30 minutes into the solve I had finally finished centers

But his centers are so SLOW. I'd think that would be the easier thing to improve. It's easy to practice centers by just scrambling every time you finish centers; I think it's much easier to improve them.

Agh, OP, would it have killed you to use a question mark?

Both are slow. Personally think that edges would be much easier to improve upon. You know me though :rolleyes:

Use freeslice.
