Advice for getting sub 30 avg.

[Rpotts]

Yea, F2L is the biggest chunk of the solve, it's probably where you have the most room for improvement. You can probably do 4LLL in ~10 secs, get your F2L to sub 20 and you'll be fine. GO SLOW AND LOOK AHEAD. once you can do that. GO FASTER AND LOOK AHEAD.

I was about your speed when I went to full PLL. How did you memorize all the 2-look algorithms if you're having such a hard time with PLL? It took me about 1 1/2 weeks to get all the PLL's memorized. It took another 2-3 weeks to get back to my same speed with 2-look. Then another week or two for my times to start dropping. You can't really worry about speed at all if you're learning new algorithms.

I found it kind of easy. What I did was pick an algorithm (or two with the G-perms) and practice it with the paper 10-20 times. Then memorize the notation. Once you have the notation memorized solve it slowly going through the notation in your head. Do this about 30-50 times and then start working on getting it faster. By this point it should be muscle memory. Do the algorithm at least 20 times at a faster speed using just the muscle memory. Once you have done this, periodically grab the cube through the day and run through the algorithm 5-10 times.

If you still forget it after doing this, then get an MRI done.

Learn the triggers for full PLL, and use note cards, that helped me learn them quickly although, I have not been able to practice much so my execution is still slow.

Here is a very good PLL trainer: http://brunson.com/drillsergeant/

Good luck!

Try having a higher tps.

only 3 things: practise,practise and practise..oh,sorry,have i already said practise?
learning algoritms helps you a lot ;-)
