You trade efficiency for look-ahead. Which of those is better for you?

4= Yau
567= reduction

Don't let that be the only factor tho.

Hey guys, I'm pretty skrub at big cubes. I average 20 seconds on 3x3, 3 minutes on 5x5, and 12 minutes on 7x7. Is that proportionate at all? What do you guys average on 5 and 7? I use freeslice for both, but I feel like my 7x7 times are terrible and I don't know what to work on.

I have the Moyu Huachuang and the SS mini 7x7.

 

[Reprobate]

It's probably just a matter of what you practice most. I am around 38 seconds for 3x3 and 7:30 for 7x7. And 14 minutes on 8x8 and 21 minutes on 9x9.

At my best I'm ~13, ~1:30, ~4:30. More practise.
