Hi

Do you guys have any tips for me to become sub-20? I've been getting 18-19 second solves kinda often but still havent gotten a sub-20 average. Do you guys know any ways I can get faster?

Hi

Brody-Wan, you're my only hope:



I used this tutorial back when i was in your situation and now i average 12. Listen to the tips carefully and put them into practice.
 
Learn how to insert pairs into the back using intuitive F2L, and try looking around the cube and not at the pair you are doing. This should help with look-ahead. Slow turning while trying to look away from the pair should be an effective drill. You should also be doing your pairs with confidence by having it implemented in your muscle memory (in other words just practice enough until you dont even have to think about how to do solve your pair). 2-look OLL and PLL at high TPS should be enough to get you to sub-20. If you can’t really turn fast, it’s fine. You can learn Full PLL and use 2-look OLL and it should be even more effective. Cross is just as crucial, as if you have a good cross, you can carry that momentum throughout your solve. I would say a good base would be solving the cross in 10 moves or less WITHOUT using rotations. I will link some videos later but JPerm and BrodyTheCuber were really helpful to me at your level and beyond. hope this helped
