    Wow that 46.15 is incredible @h2f! Sorry that the comp didn't go well. Next time you'll do... better :) It was long ago that I did any long 3x3 session so I decided to try a full CN Ao50 (for the first time) and got a measly 19.80. At least it's sub-20 but 6 solves over 24 seconds say I'm far...

Should have been better but I still cannot predict OLL when face is longer...

    A bit off cubing for the most part of the week. Trying to change that during the wekend. Considering buying a Yan3 from all the recommendations I got for a new 3x3. I also saw the new CB G6 6x6 but not sure it's worth it (even though it's so cheap that I'm not wasting much if it's not good)...

    For a tight budget I would consider de CB G4. After some dozens of solves to break it in it's great for the price. The Kungfu Cangfeng if also great for the price if you prefer 62mm size Sent from Tapatalk

    He he he. I already have not one but two Dayan Zhanchi stickerless and, to be honest, I'm no Feliks to solve it in under 6 seconds. Looking for something a bit more recent. [emoji23] Sent from Tapatalk

    Yeah, I should probably go for a magnetized 3x3 but I don't want to spend $50 on one and I'm not sure about doing it myself. The MoJue M3 is another option that I had not considered. And regarding @phreaker advice about non-squared corners cubes... well, I have both a Thunderclap v1 and an...

    To be honest I think my catching problems come from squared corners and the fact that it does not retain well its cube shape, plus the small size Sent from Tapatalk

    I have a 357 which I don't particularly like. Not wanting to here the advice of "if you didn't like previous GAN cubes don't buy the Air" I got an Air and, not surprisingly, I don't like it. It also does not come in stickerless. Not sure what it is I don't like of it but I don't get my times on...

    Hi guys. Looking for some new 3x3 that are available in stickerless. Not that I don't like my Valk3 but I would like to try something else as I think I catch a bit at times. Maybe the Yan3? Other recommendations? A Windmirror would probably come with the order. Isn't it a nice little puzzle...

    Racing to sub-15

    @TheoLyh Thinking about this tiwce. It's not the first time I get a request of continuing for a target below 15, so I thought that, maybe this does not have critical mass for a specific sub-12 or sub-whatever thread so I wouldn't mind it at all to host here a more open "sub-15 and beyond" thread...

    You can go for whatever time you want and keep your own track of 3 sub-X in a row given the fact that there aren't any other active sub-X threads below sub-15, I think. I will keep track of your times every week but will keep colouring yellow every sub-15 result as an alumni ;)

    Hey guys, if you want a nice scramble on white cross please pay a visit to my Race to sub-15 thread and check the 5th scramble of this week's average. And, why not, all of you that are already sub-20 are invited to participate, of course (and the ones that aren't ;)).

    I can relate. I had to promise not to ever even think about getting a 13x13. I got my 9x9 at Magic Cube Mall with a nice discount. It was like $50 or so including shipping. I decided to skip 8x8 as I like odd layered cubes more. I enjoyed solving it but I don't think I need to buy them all. It...
