That is ok. I had trouble with it also. But this will help,transitioning is a little difficult,but I got all my big cube pbs by doing what's called "free slicing this levels EVERYTHING up. You'll get it. I know you will.

Yeah, I use free slicing for 5x5, haven’t rly tried using it for 6x6 and 7x7, but I’ll have to try it

For 6x6 centers, I’ve found it faster sometimes to make a 2x2 in the middle, then extend that to a 2x4, then do the last two bars

Bro! I like that! I used to do it...then something just"clicked"and now i do 4x1 bars on 6x6. I do 7x7 way differently,though...

What do you do for 7x7?

There are 8 slots. I solve 3x3 using 2x1 bars,then a 3x1 bar. Then on 5x5,I solve 3x1 bar,two 4x1 bars,then lastly 5x1 bar. It sort of "spirals"outwards.
Sorta like how you do for 6x6,but spinning outwards instead of parallel solving(i guess that is the term)how do you like 5x5?

Interesting! Yeah, that’s similar to how I do it. ngl I like 6x6 better than 5x5 (idk why lol)

Literally sacrificed 5x5 to modify 7x7 to maintain good feel. (5x5 R.I.P.)
Cool. I like odd numbered cubes more,but i know people who like it the other way,like you. What do you think of 4x4? 4x4 is kinda cool...

I really like 4x4 (mainly bc it’s so fast)! I actually broke my PB single yesterday with a 51.49!

Cool! So what was the record before? And if you know what you did differently,you can probably beat it again! And what is your average average(sounds weird)and pb average? This sounds cool...

It was actually super surprising, my previous pb single was 52.14 (which was a drop of 6 seconds), but this one wasn’t too big of a drop. I think I just had good lookahead and turning. I average 1:05-1:10 and my PB avg is 1:04.60.

I should've asked if you knew to free slice already. If you do...then I don't know how to help. Sorry bro,but I tried. Your cool.

I kinda knew how to, but really have never used it in 6x6 and 7x7 before. Thank you for the help, though, I plan to use it at my competition on Friday!

Hope you do well. I am rooting for you!

Thanks!

I’m hoping for a sub-5 6x6 single and just get a mean, and also a sub-10 7x7 single.

Go for it! What is it,3 days till time? I believe in you...

I just broke my 7x7 PB with a 9:12!

LET'S GO!

So what was the record before,and what did you do differently? If you did it once,you can do it again. If you can do it again,you can do it better next time. That's my motto. 9:12...cool.
