but PLL (EPLL) will be way faster.

not way faster. maybe like exactly the same speed improvement as what you lose on OCLL

yeah ok whatever but learning COLL can be good if ou use ZZ, ZB, or Petrus. Ad it can be good for FMC as well. Not a much improvement but some.

Hey guys,
im 14 yo and I’ve been cubing since late july (so now its been 5 months) and I’m averaging around 14,55 seconds, I know full PLL, advanced f2l, and I have 7 OLL’s left to learn, I practice a least 2 hours on the day that I have school (3-4-5 or more per day in holidays) and I’m constently looking to improve, watching video about cubing when I’m not at school, spending time with my family/friends or eating.
Now I would like to have some advices and tips from you guys because I know that there are a lot of very good cubers here.
If y’all could give me some tips to practice effectively and improve it would be very cool !
Thank you in advance !

That’s insane improvement man. I’ve been cubing for 1 3/4 years and I’ve inly just gotten to sub 16. Nice work.

Well, I've been cubing for 4 years and haven't gotten sub-20 sooooo.....

I mean everyone improves at different rates.

Thanks Bro!

I know this is a boring piece of advice, just keep practicing. And make sure you eliminate any bad habits (like pointless rotations during F2L, bad fingertricks, etc)

Yes i’ll keep practicing on that, thank you !

What time would you say I'd be able to get now that I've learnt full pll and 2 look pll? Thanks.

That completely depends on yourself. I don't think we can tell you how fast you can get. It's just a matter of doing some solves and seeing for yourself.

 

[Matt Bolter]

I practice a lot at home and do tons of solves. What do you think the general time area would be, thanks guy that I saw like 5 minutes ago.

Erm... you're welcome? (You've only been on the forums for 5 minutes)
It entirely depends on your F2L speed. That can vary between 5 seconds and 15 seconds for people who know full PLL.
Typical speed for someone who has just learnt PLL is around 16-20 seconds and since you practise a lot it will likely end up being the lower range.

You can get sub 20 quite easily

 

[Matt Bolter]

Thanks

 

[abunickabhi]

It all depends on how you drill and cope up with recognition. All I can say is doing more solves helps to deal with the cases more fluidly, M' U' R S' R' U M E.

Happy cubing and good luck learning the next algset/method/puzzle!

 

[Matt Bolter]

Thanks so much, I’ve just got two more g perms to go before I’m done with pll.

 

[Rubuscu]

After a little less than 11 months of cubing, I want to ask if I am progressing fast enough or if I need to improve faster

I average about 31 seconds,

In a solve of 26.83 seconds (which I call a good solve), here are my time splits:

Cross: 3.41 s
F2L: 13.57
OLL: 3.32
PLL: 6.52

Can someone tell if I am improving fast enough and which are the steps I need to work on? I would really appreciate it.

 

[LukasCubes]

You are improving pretty good. It took me about a year to get my first sub-30 solve.

 

[Deleted member 36445]

how much do you practice? If you want to improve faster you have to practice more. In 11 months cubing I was already sub20 but in the last 4 months or so I was doing 100 solves almost every day

It seems that you weakest links are pll and f2l, maybe focus on that.

 

[DiamondGolem12]

Don't worry about how fast you are progressing as everyone gets better at different speeds.

As for improving, learn full PLL if you haven't already, watch J perms advanced cross and F2l, and if you want to, Xcross and F2L look ahead videos, which can be found on jperm.net.

 

[the dnf master]

for now just spam f2l until you get total muscle memory. If you already have muscle memory, I suggest focusing on efficiency
