Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Wow I can see this forum has outgrown me... :-/

Tried some MBLD after Vårgårda Open (lal) and I have done some changes in my memo. I am trying out some small MBLD´s to work up my speed.

Yesterday
8/8 = 31:13

Today
6/6 = 19:12

I want 6/6 sub 15 soon. I hope I can do it!

PB 3x3 BLD: 5:26.xx. Straight up old Pochman.

I hadn't practiced BLD in at least a year until this past week. I would like to be able to compete at nationals this year, but with the 6:00 cutoff time, I will be dropping the event unless I am getting sub 6 times consistently by then. Very doable, but then again... I am a memory n00b.

3x3 BLD: 3:34.94

It's my new PB, and I'm starting to like BLD.

3:02.66 4x4 Blindfolded(1:00 memo).

Had to undo like 3 wings. So it should have been sub-3.

Nice Carson! Good luck with Nationals! Keep practicing, I think you'll find that your consistency and speed improve quite a lot at first, even with only a moderate amount of practice!

Yay! Another BLD cuber :tu Congrats on the new pb!

Nice Bill! That's a sign that sub-3 is coming soon! Forget NAR lol, shoot for WR! :tu

Thanks Chris! Memo is my biggest issue right now, so I have started just practicing memo and not following through with the actual solve. This is helping me a lot!

 

[RyanReese09]

I'd go through with the actual solve, at least make sure you did the memo correctly, even if you aren't going for a specific time. You're missing out on the truely great benefit of BLD!

I'm more worried about accuracy right now. It takes me long enough to memo that I have forgotten the first part of the solve by the time I get to the end. I am trying to speed up my memo before I worry about too much else.

 

[RyanReese09]

I still stand by what I say Carson. You will get faster at execution (you say it's fine, but trust me, there is always room for improvement in execution, such as reducing delays), and you also get the benefit of seeing it solved (motivation)

In all honesy, only memoing would be extremely boring, and would be less inefficient practice.

 

[Carson]

I'm not saying that my execution is great, or even ok... in fact, it is pretty bad. My issue there is that I spend half of my execution time trying to remember the memo, which falls back to my poor memo skills. It's not that I don't ever finish a solve, but mostly it's just memo practice for me. It's kind of like regular speedsolving... if your f2l sucks, you don't just do solve after solve, you practice f2l.

 

[RyanReese09]

If you memo and then go to execute and you find you can't remember it, it's also great practice to force yourself to remember. Like, I find that as soon as I remember the beginning of memo, I remember the rest (probably due to my memory method) so I always try and do a tap on the sticker that I start with, and that gives me the first letter, which then will make me remember.

In your speedsolving example, sure you can do F2L practice solely, but your LL times aren't perfect either, so might as well drill them too, especially consdiering it doesn't really take that much longer .

I don't know if it's just me, but the solution isn't working, edges to be exact
