Slowly coming back to speedcubing and wanted to know....

....if anyone else has ever experienced better lookahead after having taken a break. It's now been about 3 months since I took a break and decided to pick up my cubes again last week. I was understandably rusty at first, but now I feel like my lookahead has improved marginally. I feel like it's taking me less time to locate pieces.

I guess I won't really know until I do an avg/100.

Find out by that average of 100.
You often hear here and there about people making breaks and then improving.

I just took a break from cubing for a week, and now I'm faster.

A couple weeks ago, I took a 1 and a half week break from my precious cube and it seemed like my lookahead improveed aswell.

Well, from my experience, i took a 3 month break and my times and look ahead got alot worse. I went from averaging 17 and now i average 24. Its really bad. I guess if your times got better thats great.

i took a one year break and came back 6 seconds faster... but I would have been faster if I didn't take that break

dude. 4ever

lol. i was gonna say that.

on topic:
IMO, long break is good. (I am taking a break of 3x3x3, learning EG1 now)
because CFOP has been so familiar to me, I don't think while solving anymore.
well you know what I mean by "don't think".
my solving now is pure "reflex"
so I think taking a break will help me

argh! hard to explain.
(bad english) lol

I took a break for 2 years. No, I quit that time. I averaged 1:00 with CFOP with full PLL.
Now I average 20 seconds.
