YES!!!!! PB. Sub 60 first time. 55:42 to be exact!!! Sub 45… here we go. =)

Couldn’t agree more. Also, train, train, train. When you stop training, it is easy to lose speed, technique, strategy, etc.

Whoa! Thanks. Opened a new world! I was doing cross- FLL…. Then beginner last layer. But 2 look OLL is SO MUCH FASTER! down to 47 secs (without PLL… yet). Very cool. Thanks fani Gonna spend 2 days getting 2 look OLL into muscle memory. Then onto PLL. More soon.

So in denial to look at anything with the label “senior”. =). But yes, I checked it out. Will probably tag it after my first WCA competition. Nice… but ugh… but nice!

Thanks. Yeah. Feel like I’m hitting a wall… but will give OLL/ PLL a good look tonight. See what happens.

Mallorca. End of July.

Thanks everyone. Three weeks later update…. Went from 67 in beginners method to 110 with CFOP. And 3 weeks later, back down to 63 average. Really hoping for sub 60 in a week… and then we’ll see for the next month.

Ok. Long shot. Mallorca 2022? It’ll be my first.

O that’s easy to point out. Cross in 8 secs. F2L in 1:20 and the rest in 15-20. My problem is identifying and finding pairs. Too much time “looking” for them.

Question. I was averaging 1:06 with beginner method. Decided to switch and start learning F2L. So far, 2 days into it, I’m averaging 1:43!!!! I know it’ll be slower till it becomes muscle memory but…. Questions: a) is a jump that bad normal/ common/ to be expected? B) realistically, with good...

Hey everyone! Got bitten by the speedcubing bug pretty late in life! Better late than never I say. Driving everyone @ home nuts. Picked up a 3x3 in February (3 months ago). I’m down to 64 sec. avg. (of course- just learned F2L yesterday… and now my time is around 100. Ugh!) goal… sub 60 a...
