Ye I'm looking to switch to more efficient algs for 2x2 - just finished pbl so drilling those first. I know T perms should be sub 2 my point is that is this a sign of a bad cube or bad cuber?

Sorry, ik this thread is a couple months old but I was wondering how good the QiYi QiDi is as a 2x2? I use ortega and average around 8s. I've seen a lot of advice on this thread to get a good cube - is my cube (the QiYi Qidi) bad or am i just turning badly? For example I can do a T perm in under...

Also just wondering about lookahead. I had a look online about improving lookahead and I noticed most of them mentioned not working on it until I'm sub-20 (or even faster) which I'm definitely not. Any advice on this - should I still learn it?

Thanks for the reply. I've had a look at your progression thread and it's really inspirational seeing someone go from low 20s to getting sub-10 solves!. I do sometimes solve my cross relatively, but probably not often enough ;). I'll try to work on this. Thanks for all the other tips, will try...

Hello, I used to cube quite a bit back during lockdown (2018-2019) and I cracked sub-30 on 3x3 using CFOP with 2-Look OLL and full PLL. I'm now at the same stage after getting back into it for 2 months (sub-28/27 now but I haven't relearnt full PLL yet). I was wondering if anyone could give my...

To make an update: I did finally receive the cube. The problem was their customer service - they did not contact me at all.

Week 3 Goal: Sub 30/26 1. 25.38 2. 24.07 3. (26.59) 4. 25.49 5. (22.23) 6. 24.70 7. 25.80 8. 24.48 9. 25.27 10. 24.80 11. 22.25 12. 25.32 Result: 24.72 As a next set of averages I will go for sub 25 or sub 24.

Goal: Sub 30/26 (28.98) 24.70 26.92 28.85 25.04 27.10 28.18 26.86 (21.15) 22.38 28.703 25.140 26.38 average. I have been getting a lot faster recently, so I would say my goal is now to get sub 26.

There is an algorithm set for doing 1LLL, but it requires around 1,100 algorithms. It is extremely difficult to learn and recall this many algorithms, but some cubers have memorized this many algorithms. I would recommend this only if you are extremely focused on 3x3. Alternatively, you could...

For 7x7, I would recommend the X-Man Spark M. It is used by choice by both Feliks and Max, so if you have the budget, I would recommend it.

GAN will be releasing a 5x5 soon. They mentioned in a post that the GAN box would be applied to their new 4x4 and 5x5. Link: https://i.redd.it/biwl2vypr0v01.png

I would say you should buy the X-Man Shadow M 6x6 and/or the X-Man Spark M 7x7. This is because these events are fun to practice and easier to get world-class on than other WCA Events excepting Megaminx.

GAN sponsors Feliks and Max to use their 3x3s, as it is arguably the main WCA event. I know that they both started using them out of choice, and then GAN offered them a sponsorship

I think most of what you have in this list is correct for most people, but I think you should update 3x3 and 4x4 a little. 3x3 Whilst this is a recent addition to the GAN 3x3 range, I think the XS is most definitely the best 3x3 on the market right now, making improvements on the magnet and...
