[Imsoosm]

Hey all. I just did an ao12 of all of the Plls and could use some feedback. If someone could tell me which ones are good and which I should work on I’d really appreciate it. Thanks

T : 1.68
Ja : 2.17
Jb : 1.30
Y : 1.75
Ra : 2.30
Rb : 2.06
E : 2.22
F : 2.41
Aa : 2.01
Ab : 2.00
V : 2.56
H : 1.69
Ua : 2.34
Ub : 1.79
Z : 2.32
Na : 3.45
Nb : 3.78
Ga : 2.72
Gb : 3.06
Gc : 2.77
Gd : 2.39

For the ones I should work on, how many times should I do them? 100, 500? Thanks

You can improve a bit on T. It can be done about the same time as Jb. Also, what alg for E are you using? The RUD ones? If you are, then you should practice doing D and D' with your left ring finger. That speeds up the alg by a lot.
You can also improve on turning speed for all algs.

For practicing these algs, I recommend you just do untimed ones first. Drill them without a timer, and after the alg is implanted in your muscle memory, you can try timing it.

Ok. Thank you. I do use the x’ RUD alg for E. And I’d say I’m pretty consistent with D and D’ with my left ring finger. I can do all of the algs pretty much without thinking. I’ll keep drilling them all and work on T. I think I need to work on finger tricks for some of the algs too. Thanks

[Caden Fisher]

Messed

wth happened with the 1:17

Messed up a V perm. Had to redo the whole solve.

 

[NigelTheCuber]

Messed up a V perm. Had to redo the whole solve.

I would have just stopped the timer and dnf it

Yeah. I don’t know why I kept going

[Caden Fisher]

I haven’t done much cubing the last few days. I’ve been at a summer camp. I entered a talent show though and got a 20.2 second solve.

 

[Caden Fisher]

Got a SengSo clock today! Pb: 18.85

 

[Caden Fisher]

150 clock solves done. Pb single: 15.17 Pb ao5: 17.92. Now averaging under 20s

 

[Caden Fisher]

I am wanting to get an actual timer at some point soon. I’m thinking the G5 Stackmat. Should I get the normal bundle or the pro cube bundle on The Cubicle? The mat is the only difference but I want some opinions on which one is better. Thanks

 

[baseballjello67]

Pro Cube Bundle........... by far

 

[Caden Fisher]

Lots of new clock pbs!
