Sorry for all these pb singles I posted recently but this one is worth because it's my first sub10 solve ever! :D

Generated By csTimer on 2016-4-12
single: 9.91

Time List:
1. 9.90 L2 B' R2 F L2 F L2 U2 F' U2 L2 D F' D2 R B' U L' F R' F

U' //PLL skip


46 HTM, 4.6 TPS

I just don't understand why my pb singles are always the worst solves I can imagine..
For first pair I could have maybe done U R' U' R U2 R' U R to save one rotation.
2nd and 3rd were good I think but obviously just y' U R U R' U' R U R' for 4th. I really have to remember this one. It doesn't cost a lot of time but those split seconds are crucial now that I enter the sub10 range.
Not to mention my OLL recognition.

Quite happy though considering a sub10 single was my goal for 2016. :D
Is it 9.91 or 9.90? :P if it's 9.91, we're tied :D
 
Congrats! I've been waiting for a sub-10 single for over a year now. and still not even sub-11 :(

Thanks you! The funny thing is that I have no sub11 solve except for this sub10 solve and several 11.xx ones. ^^

csTimer is weird, the solve was definitely 9.90 but when I ask it to display the average it tells me the average was 9.91.
So I guess I beat you. Not even close. :P

Exactly. I know that because of your PB single posts lately and that's why I mentioned it because you avoided the sub11 altogether and I would be happy even with a sub11. Anyway, I'm an oldie and my progress is slower so I have to be patient.
 
PB (and first sub 20) average of 5 = 18.76
19.37, (27.25), 18.55, (17.69), 18.37

It's pathetic compared to all of you in here talking about 11 second solves, but I was happy about it

Your first sub20 ao5 is even sub19? Nice. I was exactly at that point half a year ago and remember how awesome the first sub20 avg felt. Congrats!

Yes, I don't do very many timed solves these days because it's bad practice for my lookahead. I'm trying to break the habit of spamming TPS for each pair and then having a 2-second pause.

Apparently the practice I've been doing is paying off somewhat.

Well, I haven't really gotten a legitimate sub 20 average. Ao5s are too volatile to mean anything. When I get a sub 20 average of 12 I'll consider myself to have a sub 20 average.
 
Please do more 2x2.
Haha alright. I recorded a bunch of solves last night, and I wasn't doing very well. I have a 30 minute video full of fails and me rambling and saying random ****. I may just go ahead and upload the whole thing as a comedy video.

edit: here it is

Reset my feet PBs since I switched to solving on hard floor with a stackmat. After a 120 solve session, here are the new ones:

54.85 single (actually better than my old single on carpet!)
1:15.57 ao5
1:24.08 ao12
1:30.04 ao50
1:35.45 ao100
