improvement

I was thinking about this and decided to ask you guys. How much did you do in your first competition and what is your current PR single? My best single in my first competition was an 18.16 in April 2023, and my current PR single was a 8.43 in June 2025.

200 dollars for 45 minutes with Tymon is it a scam

I've been thinking a lot lately about how much lube, tensioning, and quality of cube impacts a person's speed. For example, if you took your main and cleaned the lube out and tried to solve it dry how much of an impact would it have on your speed? What about a different cube of the same affects...

Hey there! Looking to get faster at cubing? Then you’ve come to the right thread! (advertisement ahh intro) Here are some things you might wanna know first: I average 6.7 on 3x3, and 1.9 on 2x2 so you can trust me with these critiques. I only critique solves that use CFOP or any variant similar...

Alright, I’ve seen people trying to improve, but stall at a certain barrier, or don’t even improve at all. I am going to show you how to improve at cubing, so that you can get those PBs/PRs, and goals that were long unbroken. You might be asking, “who is this kid telling me how to improve my...

Welcome! The point of this thread is to help everyone improve in any event. Not only will I be posting tips, but of course anyone can, meaning we have available knowledge of possibly thousands of people (doubt it). While asking for direct knowledge is fine, the larger point of the thread is to...

Hi everyone! I average around sub 15 on 3x3 and want to become sub 1 on 4x4. I average around 1:15 Do any of you have any tips? Thanks!

I am hosting a forum competition with the events of 3x3,4x4,pyraminx, clock, megaminx and OH. The winner each week will be the person that improved their results from the week before the most in a percentage format. I will post the scrambles, and if you would like to compete then reply to this...

right, competition time again, we do it goals: 3x3: sub-20 average 2x2: sub-4.00 average 3x3 OH: sub-1:00 average 4x4: yeah right honestly I'm not gonna do well, I haven't been practicing and I don't intend to give up my 12 hour work/rehab days for cubing practice. I'm just gonna go, make...

Nobody's made one of these in 2022, so I thought I would... Here's a Race to Sub-X Thread for 3x3! I hope to keep it updated every week, so have fun! The rules are simple: Every week, there's a new set of 12 scrambles posted. You announce what goal you have (e.g. sub-15), then do 12 solves in...

I am just a noob trying to get faster, it has been years since I have touched a cube, and I picked the hobby up again because I thought it would help with my mental health. I find myself frustrated, more frustrated than I thought I could get because I am making a lot of weird mistakes, there is...

I'm averaging a little under 13.5 right now (1.5-7-2-2 breakdown on a usual good solve) but just 3k or so solves ago late last year i got my first sub15 ao100 (current record is 13.33) and i've been improving pretty quickly since then. i know my breakdown should be more like 1.2-5-1.6-2.2 to be...

Hey everyone! Hope y'all are well. I'm sure we can all agree, Speedsolving is ****ing cool. In winter 2014, when I first saw what cubers were doing and what was possible, a fire had lit inside me and I knew this was going to become something I loved. So by Christmas I had begged my mom for a...

This thread is an attempt at the question we've all asked a bunch of times: What alg set should I learn next? I know F2L OLL AND PLL. I am now clueless about what to learn next.

Summer is only a few days away and It's always a good idea to set goals for yourself, so you should post them here! I'll give the goals for the events I care about 5x5: Get a sub 1:05 avg and become sub 1:10 global 6x6: Sub 2 Single and Sub 2:25 global 7x7: Sub 3:20 single and sub 3:45 global...

I tried hiding the timer while I was solving, and it was immediately noticeable in my times, I just improved my AO5 and AO12 PB from more than half a second (16 and 17.53 seconds) I use csTimer.net , which is great but the timer display is very big and visible, and it always really distracted...

So I've been cubing on and off for several years, I think I started in 3rd grade, and then got into it a little bit in 6th, but now I've been going for about 6 months, and have gotten pretty fast. I went from around 40s in September to around 18s now, but I'm having trouble improving recently...

This thread is for stating your average times and breaking up each step and asking how you could improve. This is not limited to just 3x3 so feel free to ask about any other event. Hopefully it will help people work on the part of their solves that is holding them back. To start off with: I...

Hey Everyone. Here in RSA there aren't many cubers and I want to form a little group thing. Preferably teens. My goal is to have us talk and grow as cubers and share cubing moments together! Anyone interested can drop a message and maybe we can form a discord. Cya!

So, hello everyone. Today I want to tell you a way to get better at any cube.(Improvement time can vary.) A few ways I want to talk about, first one is:Stop being lazy and learn algorithms that are good and fast not ones which are easy to learn. This is a thing i realized how crucial it...
