    Cubesmith Tiles vs. Textured Tiles

    I just received my two set of cubesmith "tiles". I didn't order textured ones, however, these seem to have a texture on them. Are the regular tiles completely smooth or do they have a little texture to them, as opposed to a lot of texture. I can upload some pics if needed, or if someone else...

    About Smoother Cube

    Since they are are squares, they can be rotated 90 degrees four different ways to place them. Dunno if that made any sense... but anyway I found each cap had a certain rotation that made it sit nearly flush with the the center cube of each side. I read something about this on the yahoo groups...

    Suggestions for learning 3-look LL?

    Ok thanks guys, the 4LLL sounds like a good idea since I already know most of it, just several more OLLs to use it effectively. PLL memorizing isn't so bad once you get going, but I'll really start grinding them out in a week or so after I'm good on the two look OLL. Thanks again.

    Suggestions for learning 3-look LL?

    Alright thanks guys, I'm going to gradually learn PLL. So far, I know corners correct and a few others. One other thing, is it ok that I learn 3-look without first learning 4-look? I average one minute using the backend of petrus after F2L.

    Suggestions for learning 3-look LL?

    Does anyone have any tips for learning this? From the look of it, gota learn 21 PLL algs before you can actually practice with it. Is this what you guys did?

    About Smoother Cube

    After two weeks of breaking in my cube, its finally become a nice cube for speedcubing. This is my first cube so I can't really compare. anyway, today i tightened my cube since I figured some of the factory spec surfaces wore down from being rough. I also checked all my center caps to make sure...

    What to do next?

    So for F2L do you use four specific algs to place all four slots? Or would do like two or three intuitively and the last one with an alg when there are no free slots to move pieces around. Sorry if this getting to be like spoonfeeding info, just want to thank you guys really helping me improve.

    What to do next?

    Thanks guys. I've started working on my cross and reducing gaps between algs which has brought my average down to about somewhen between 1:00 to 1:10. I think I will start on those LL algs, though they do seem overwhelming...

    About Lube

    Ya I've actually let the cube dry for hours after spraying. Most tutorials online say or imply a wait time of like ten minutes which doesnt work with my spray. The spray I have sprays narrowly so I gota be really careful on pressure applied on the button. Other than that I'm really happy with...

    What to do next?

    It takes me about 2-2.5 min each time i solve the cube using a beginner method (jasmines). Iv also just started doing slots intuitively as i go since they seem to improve my times if their easy to see. My question is what should i do next? Start going through the algs for F2L? Try to improve my...

    About Lube

    Is the silicone lube supposed to be runny? Like after its sprayed how long does it take to actually dry, or does it kinda stay greasy? I ordered a diy and im testing a silicone spray on an old cube.
