I was wondering if anyone would happen to know either how to or if it is possible to rotate the 3x3 center of a 5x5x5 90 degrees.
I'm making a pattern on my 5x5x5, and a 3x3 center which is currently:
Y Y Y
W W W
Y Y Y
Which I would like to make:
Y W Y
Y W Y
Y W Y
Without changing any of the other pieces...
Thank you in advance to anyone who answers.

So, I was watching videos of 7x7 solves, and I noticed basically everyone builds 5 bars of 5 to make their centers. I don't do that, though. I make the inner 3x3 center like on a 5x5 first, then expand to a full center in one of 2 ways: either I add 2 bars of 3 to the ends of the inner center, then add 2 bars of 5 on the outside, or I add a bar, then a bar of 4 to make a 4x4 group, then another bar of 4, and finish with a 5-bar.
Is this any good? Should I switch to the other way or keep doing this? For reference, I average about 4:40 with splits of 2:25-1:50-25.

Well, I'm a good deal slower than you at 3x3 (you've surpassed me so fast this year) but, even though my 5x5 times are not quite where I want them (that would be around low 2min and I'm now averaging low 3min with some sub-3 min solves here and there), I think your times right now are still not at a point where your inefficiencies are in any particular stage of the solve but in all of them. As a comparison, my splits are around 1:00-1:10, 1:20-1:30 & 0:35-0:45.Does someone have reconstructions of very fast 5x5 speedsolves? I'd like to learn some tricks and see where I am inefficient.
Also, my 5x5 splits for centers / edges / 3x3 stage are: 1:40 / 1:55 / 0:40 (~ a typical 4:15 solve by me). As comparison, on 3x3 I average 16-17. Where to improve?
40-50-30 imo.Hey quick question, what are approximately the splits for a 5x5 solve that is for a 2 min solve?
40-50-30 imo.
ok thanks makes sense40-50-30 imo.
Proportionally, you're very bad at edges.Really? I average low 1:30s and splits for a 1:30 solve for me are around 25-50-15, and I don't necessarily think I'm that bad at edges...
