Can't Beat Best Time

[garrettrogers02]

Iv'e been cubing for over a year now, and only been using CFOP for 4 months. Iv'e can get down to about a 30 second average and I can't seem to break the sub 30 average mark. Any thoghts?

Practice. Learn full PLL. Work on F2L lookahead. Cross time. Take a short break from cubing. Practice.

Patience, practice, and lots of repetition. I was stuck at about 27 seconds for what seemed like an eternity, about 9 months in reality. Only after I switched from CFOP to Roux did I finally break 20 seconds. I currently average about 16 seconds and have started focusing more on puzzle collecting and solving unique puzzles than speed.

Who knows, maybe a method switch is what you need. If you're enjoying CFOP solves then I say time is your only option. Time, and patience.

practice.

How are your splits?

Do an avg of 700 in 1 week, you should be sub30, probably even sub28

Do an avg of 700 in 1 week, you should be sub30, probably even sub28

Thats a lot of solves. Doing an avg 100 everyday for a guy who averages 30 will take like 3 hours

Are you shore that taking a break off cubing helps? If so why.

30s solve + 15s inspection + 15s scramble + 5s of doing nothing between solves --> 65s per solve --> 6500s/100solves ~ 108min so 2 hours should be enough

That's still a lot of solves/time.

Do a lot of casual solves, don't time them, just sit down and cube while you listen music, watch videos, play games or whatever else you would normally do.

You take time for your brain to absorb what you have learnt. Try doing skewb or prya or somthing.
