First sub-60 avg12 with Yau - 57.68, 1:02.66, 1:02.59, 56.07, 54.84, 52.83, 1:08.29, 59.64, (1:10.35), 1:05.88, (51.40), 58.34 = 59.88.

Still slower than my normal reduction, but I ultimately intend on adopting Yau as my main method.

Nice! If you need any advice for yau, just PM me on facebook (Or Faz. He probably has more helpful info anyway :p)

Thanks, I appreciate that :D. Until recently I was sticking to reduction because I thought Feliks was still using it, then at Shepparton to my surprise he told me he switched to Yau!

By the way, great FMC attempts! If you can pull off a 27 at Worlds you might land something in addition to OcR. :cool:

Haha I switched like a year ago :p I think you'll see your times drop pretty quickly with Yau, it just takes a bit of practice :p

And nice FMC Jay, hopefully you can pull off a sub 30 at worlds :D

Steadily sub 25 now, usually 22-24 avg :) And that without great look ahead(sort of a mix between fast turning and look ahead), inefficient f2l solutions, and lots of cube rotations. Yes, even y2's! Taking a break from timing now for one or two weeks to get my f2l efficient and get rid of unnecessary cube rotations. Maybe learn proper look ahead after that. Sub 20 I'll get you!!

Edit: My cross sucks big time too, gotta work on that aswell ;)

Already posted this everywhere else, so why not here too. Finally got my first sub-20 single (18.99). Really happy about it, even though it was a PLL skip, because if the past is any indication, I will get there soon, the first one is always a skip :p
