Thanks. I will probably hold off on another 3x3 and just get him a 2x2. I will try to deep dive on adjusting and lubing and do it with him. I actually bought the Gan 3 pack lube so I could use those for now. Yes. My son was the little dude with the pink Messi jersey, haha

My son did his first comp today! Had lots of fun, met a lot of other cubers and got an Ao5 of 45 sec. Hit an unofficial PR racing another kid and got 31 sec. He wants to do another comp so I will probably sign him up for one in September and add in the 2x2. So with that being said which 2x2 do...

Just giving an update to this thread. My son had a lot of fun with an Ao5 of 45 sec. Everyone there was nice and he got to meet a lot of other kids. He also got to play around with other cubes and now he wants all these other cubes and a clock... 😅 He actually hit an unofficial PR racing another...

Thanks everyone. Tomorrow is the big day for him and you've all been helpful!

So I just found out about csTimer a few days ago and my son has a qiyi timer. Luckily I had a old 3.5mm jack that I found so I just hooked it up, chose stackmat and it works! I think he is going to be stoked once I show him tomorrow and now he doesn't have to write it down on his notebook when...

His nexcube is so bad because he would bring it to summer camp and take it outside and other kids would play with it too. I ended up taking it apart and there was dust/dirt caked all over it and scratched up inside. I cleaned it, put it back together and added some lube (I have no idea if I even...

Thanks everyone for your advice. He is using a timer when he practices and he will sometimes watch people compete on youtube so he has a pretty good gist of the process. I will watch the competitor tutorial with him later. Today his best average (mid 3 out of 5) was either 47 or 48 sec and was...

My 7 year old son has a tournament coming up in a week. He's solved his first cube about 5 weeks ago using the beginner method. Over the past 2 weeks he's been practicing intuitive F2L and just today he said he was trying something new to solve some part of the last layer faster. My guess he was...

Thanks for the warm welcome! Any vids that you think go over Intuitive F2L well? especially for a young child. I know there are many on youtube, but not sure what are the easiest to understand. From what he's telling me so far he knows how to do it (I think?), but he's way slower doing it. I...

Thank you! Since he be doing a tournament in less than a month, what do you think would be the best thing for him to do to help improve his time short term? Since he only knows the beginner method is trying to learn F2L a good place to start for long term progress?

My son recently learned how to solve a cube sometime in mid-June learning the beginner method on youtube. He told me he wants to do a competition so I found one close to us coming up in less than 4 weeks, so he will be doing his first competition after cubing for 7 weeks lol. I told him he's...

Dad here! I went down the rabbit hole of speed cubing after my 7 yo son learned how to solve his first cube about 3 weeks ago. Since then he's been obsessed with it and practicing trying to get faster. He asked for a better cube so I ended up getting him a Weilong WRM V10 magnetic ball-core...
