how fast are you?

How fast am I? I'm very slow, I don't care about 3x3, and my global is sub-22.

Hello friends, today is my birthday!
My 2 birthday gifts are both from Sengso, a Rubik's Clock, and a timer
I'm gonna get better at clock, and my first time is a 1:19.355.

 

[acrystal]

I have to get used at this timer, despite the fact I go to comps
My plan is to get faster at clock. I am starting to focus fully on clock instead of 3x3, & I average high-60, any tips?

Clock is cool because you can't really do targeted practice for it - you get to just spam solves. Personally, I average sub-9 with flip, so don't think that you need to go learn 7-simul or anything. Make sure you use a good pin order - when making the cross, you only need to use one pin most of the time to align the centre to an edge, and using two is only necessary for the last edge. Basically, just grind, 'cause it works.

At sub-60 literally just do like 100 solves tops and you will get sub-25. You can get extremely fast without learning 7 Simul, I have a Sub 5 official average using just flip.

I feel like you guys are right, I have done a bit of solves, and I started to avg almost sub-50.

 

[microchado]

it’s really easy to improve, i’m sub 10 with flip little practice and sub 10 with sheering
