The life of a Gone-in-60-second cuber.
It blows my mind that when I'm learning to Speedcube non-chanting without a timer, I'm doing pretty good and my flows are improving quickly.
But the minute I start using a timer, whether offline by myself or on Cube Station under the timer by myself, my...
I am horribly slow but, I have to post something :P Trying to get better at 2x2 after I finally finish up learning 3x3. Times (in case for some reason you care): 8.961, (8.119), (12.675), 11.018, 11.275. Really want a sub-10 average right now
Please help.
I average 10 seconds with my moyu pyraminx but in my solve i keep unintentionally twisting the corners so that the solved ones are unsolved and i have to redo them.
How can i make them harder to turn them down and prevent this?
I once ave been averaging about 25 seconds and i have not yet taken a break from cubing but now my times continuosly get worse and more inconsistent. The slower times are no biggie but the inconsistency is more frustrating than anything. I need help getting more consistent and after i am there...
I know intuitive F2L, 2-look OLL, and half of the PLLs, use a stickerless zhanchi (and just ordered a YuLong), but yet i still have a 45 second average :confused:.
Any tips on how to improve quickly?
Thanks!
Hi Everyone
I recently bought my first brand new Dayan Zhanchi 3x3 from a supplier on E-Bay. When I received the cube within the first few seconds of play it popped. I re-assembled the cube and a few minutes later it popped again. After numerous pops I approached google, Youtube and the...
Hi!
My average was around 30 seconds on a standard Rubik's brand. I had fairly decent F2L lookahead, 2-look OLL and most 1-look PLL cases. My best time was 24 seconds.
I bought a Dayan Zhanchi.
My average is around 30 seconds on the Dayan Zhanchi. I have some, but not the best...

I keep seeing all of these questions about lube. I think it would be good to keep lubrication questions all in one thread about where to buy and what lube to use for what cubes.

I just learned f2l yesterday and I can do it now by memory but it dramatically increases my solve time. I feel like I have to think about what moves I am going to do and I also feel like I'm constantly searching for pieces around the cube. Will I get better over time? How Do you guys know where...

Looking ahead and turning at a consistent pace is very important in F2L. In this video, I demonstrate that by looking ahead and turning at a steady pace, you don't need to turn extremely fast during F2L to achieve sub 20 averages.
Average: 18.55...
