1x1 wr holder's Progression thread | sleepy college guy

[1x1 wr holder!]

well, it was hailing hail the size of marbles, so I think my computer is right. anyway, I'm debating whether or not I should switch 3x3 mains. I'm currently maining the Filacore WRM 2021 ERM, but I have been using the gan 11 m pro for a bit and I also like it. Pro's and Con's of the WRM are that it is fast, snappy, fluffy feeling, quiet, and I like the 55 mm size. however, it can be a bit hard to control and it is very heavy. As for the gan, it is crunchy, fast, light, and very stable. unfortunately, it has this creaky feeling i don't like and i feel like there is some spring noise or resistance, it's corner cutting is decent, but nothing like moyu. so far i'm still liking the moyu more, but the gan just feels so good for long sessions. it's just some of the noises and feelings that annoy me. I don't really want to lube the centers either cuz I don't want the compression system to get all gross. Thoughts?

Do NOT trust the phantom limbs of SkyNet for such crucial info!
Put the thermometer in your mouth, wait 40-60 seconds, and read the truth for yourself
. . . . .
... in terms of ZBLL algs ...
Brody the Cuber has some good videos on the subject
Especially the one where he shows how several ZBLLs can easily be mastered using variations on the Sune OLL
Yes that's right ... Oy know more ZBLLs than you dö haHA!

the worst kept secret is that I'm teaching @JDAW6 how to do ZBLL.

this is phase 1. pretty cool that this is a completely flat object yet it looks 3d.

So, school started for me on Monday, and I'm slowly getting back into the routine and everything. Going to take a quick break from grinding until I certain my grades are stable and bla bla. I got a lot of improvement done over winter break, and cubing was definitely a major portion of my life for what seemed like forever. Sad that I'll have to put it aside for a bit and focus on studies. Really glad I learned full pll over break, but wish I could have gone to a comp. I guess I spent too much time fishing and camping lol. I'm going to look out for a competition in June, and hopefully I'll be driving by then and can take myself.

Your school started on MONDAY, THE 29TH?! You're kidding, I started on January 8th. Does your winter break start in January?

Nope, I had a really long break. But my classes are fast paced

Nah bro, I was hiking fishing, camping, and helping out at my local food pantry all month…but I did have some of these moments…

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

I have experienced a realization. I have seen the light.

The maglev rings from my spare WRM 2021 fit in my mgc5 and the springs from my Mgc5 fit in my WRM. 5 is greater than 3 and "The lives of the many outweigh the one!"

@NebraskanSpeedsolver, lookout, there's another Maglev 5x5 nerd in town.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Woohoo. I sacrificed my WRM and it was worth it. Maglev 5x5 go brrrrrrr.

 

[artless1der]

you can just send me the mangled remains of the WRM'21 sacrifice, unburden yourself of the reminder of that grisly demise

well at this point it's just a 2021 leap so it's not that grisly lol.

You did not just call that a WRM Leap

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

You did not just call that a WRM Leap

Thank you for pointing that out. I called it a 2021 Leap. Biiig difference

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Going to do some solves on my maglev 5x5. Brb

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

I think I'm in love with this cube lol. it's just so smooth and it can finesse so well. also... NO SPRING NOISE. I'm still getting used to controlling this thing, but I was able to get some 2:20's which is good for me.
