Maybe I just got a bad Guansu or maybe I just set it up wrong, but my Guansu is kinda blah. Honestly I can't really compare it to much else cuz I am just getting into 4x4 (average 3 mins.:cool:) but about once every five solves or so I will have one of those smaller white pieces of the core pop...

I am a fairly newer cuber, started back in October or so, and I have only been to one competition. It was really fun, even though the only events I did were 2x2 and 3x3, and so I looked at the U.S Nationals page for 2017. I made the cut-off times for 3x3 and 2x2, but I didn't make any others...

Guess this thread is about dead, so I guess now would be a good time to wrap it up. Just wanted to say thanks for everyone who helped me out here. And whoever said I should go to a comp, thank you! I went to Dayton Winter 2017 yesterday and it was so much fun. I exceeded my expectations for both...

I got a Weilong GTS today, and I can say that Rubik's Brand really sucks now. I never really thought this would be what a speed cube feels like, but either way it is awesome. Anyway, the tensions it came in are pretty loose compared to a lot of other peoples cubes I've seen in videos. So i...

Well I don't really keep track of my best average of 5,12, etc., but I can give you a generalization of what I usually get. I only do 2x2 and 3x3. For 2x2, I only average around 12 seconds or so. I am working on learning cll, and am about half way done. When I do get a cll case that I know, I...

Well, I'm officially signed up for my first comp in Dayton, less than a month away. I'm very excited but honestly a little nervous. I expect to be using a weilong gts for it, so was just wondering if I could get some people's input on what lube to use. I should be able to get some before the...

Ok thanks for the info Ok thanks for the info. It looks like I might be coming after all, cuz my dad says he would love to take me! I'm not in the clear yet, but its looking better than it was yesterday. I'm in the process of learning cll for 2x2 because my times on ortega are pretty bad. And...

Oh awesome thanks! I'm not totally positive the date will work out for me but I will try very hard to get there. One question, if anyone knows the answer to this, what time should i be there? The schedule (in pglewis's post) says registration and 4x4 blindfolded begin at 8 am. If I sign up...

So I looked at some other 2x2's, the ones that Tom606060 recommended, specifically. I thought I'd do this since he said the Dayan was good, but I needed to set it up (which I really don't know how to). I found some good reviews on the Weipo, but didn't get a lot on the Kungfu Yuehun or the Yuxin...

Oh wow that's not very far away at all. If they ever have another one there, I'll have to try and come too.

Thank you all so much for helping me out with my cubing experiences right now. I can't believe how helpful the replies have been. Thanks to you, I now am excited about where I'm headed as a cuber! Again, thanks so much. ps: pglewis, I'm from Cincy too! Just a quick question, how far away was...

Ok, so here's the deal. I have quite a bit of questions generally about common speed cube things. I have searched many times for answers but haven't had any luck. I am going to post a plethora of questions within this thread, so if you do reply, don't feel like you have to answer all of my...
