Right now I average ~45 seconds on 4x4. Any advice or tips yall have that could get me faster?

Hello, after a friend showed it to me I got back into 2x2. I used to have some cheap 2x2, but now I have a YJ MGC Beta Ball-Core + UV. I started learning Ortega in early June (2nd or 3rd), but in the past 1.5ish weeks my times have stalled out around 8 seconds, with occasional 10 and 7/6 second...

So I am wanting to buy the PiCube QiYi Warrior 7x7 SE (Core-Magnetic + UV) I know I can afford it considering I have 47 dollars maximum right now. I thought of buying from Miss @Hazel because she has some cubes, but I would like a new 7x7 with these exact specifications. So the cube itself costs...

Hey, I’ve recently learnt 3x3 CFOP (F2L, 2 look OLL and PLL) and have been practicing daily. I average around 45-50s with my best at 39.6s. Some questions: 1. Im struggling with where to progress to next. I’d say my OLL and PLL are good, with some improvement needed for F2L. What should i do...

As someone who has some form of experience when talking about forum comps, and is finally managing to be able to host a comp that is at low risk of ending early or dying etc, I wonder what people here consider to be a "good" forum comp. Things I'm especially interested in are : - Is there a...

So... I have the hardest time finding places where I can print charts for reference when I am practicing in my room. I would love to learn how to solve cubes blindfolded. And some more advanced f2l charts that I can print would be helpful also. Also wondering about puzzles. I am buying an...

Hello speedsolving forum. I was watching this video. In it stanley describes some bigBLD center tips for U2 method. I've practiced and successfully implemented for X-centers. But, I can't seem to figure out the method for +-centers. It isn't explained in the video, the only thing stanley...

i've kept on saying i will start a grind for cubing, and get faster, but i'll be real, I don't and can't find a good method to learn cfop over time. I average 23 second and it's been like that since 2025. My usual method was studying from algorithm sheets, but i realized it hasnt been making an...

So I have a friend who is a decent beginner cuber, he is sub-60 and uses a GAN12. So you'd think he's set up to improve his times and become an actual speedcuber, right? Wrong. I've asked him about this multiple times, including today, but he just isn't interested in committing to improving...

Hey guys just curious because I want to keep learning algs as I improve, what is your glow ball average and what algs do you know. Also, which alg set is best for me to learn next (PB ao5 17.27 PB, ao12 18.09 I know all but Nb V and Gb Gc Gd perms in terms of pll, and I know some of the easier...

Hey guys, somewhat experienced speed cuber (do a lot of events so pb a05 is only 17.7) but I am wondering how you guys plan finger tricks in a cross solution to consistently be under 1.5 seconds, I've tried practicing cross but I'm stuck at around 2-2.5 s per cross.

I can get to where all non-yellow edges are solved, as well as 2 yellow edges, but I can't get the last two, because they have the same color, so I try to pair it and it solves one but messes up another. Also, I can't seem to be able to memorize the OLL and PLL parity algs. I'm using JPerm's...
