[Help Thread] Clock Discussion + Help thread

[Davian]

So appearently jude stradtner got deleted from the forums, so this means that the clock discussion is also deleted. So maybe we could make this the clock discussion thread?


Now heres one of the first questions: How long did it take for the 7-simul users to learn 7-simul

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

It took me a day or two to get the method itself down (memo and being able to execute a solve), but it took a few months to get faster than what I averaged using flip (and to get mostly successful non-DNF solves).

 

[PiKeeper]

It took me about two days to learn it, a week or two to equal my flip times, and I went from sub 11 with flip to sub 7 with 7 simul in a month

I only needed a few days to understand the memo and occasionally get successes but I still haven't got my memo sub-15 and I mostly get DNFs

The memo will improve with time but the DNFs are a big problem. Are the DNFs because of memo issues or execution issues?

It’s mostly just errors in memo from what I can tell, there also improving

If you're making memo errors, then it might be a good idea to slow down a bit since you're probably going too fast than what you're comfortable with.
The way I got my memo sub-15 was by starting off slow and practicing until my success rate was about 90%. Then I would start pushing myself to memo faster than I was comfortable with which resulted in more DNFs but over time I became comfortable at that faster speed. If you think there might be other issues than just memoing too fast then feel free to send a couple scrambles and what your memo is so I can check.

Someone send me this picture: Can i get all of your opinions?

The picture just ranks methods by general popularity I think—how well known particular methods are. Sheerin was the popular noflip option prior to 7-Simul.

OH NO I am on thin ice

There are 2 other clock discussion threads why did u make a new one.

What are loupoch and komodo?

 

[Davian]

What are loupoch and komodo?

Loupoch probably means lou pochmann.
Im not sure about komodo, i only know about optimized pochmann, 7simul flip and doug.

@Davian why did u meh my post it is a genuine question one thread 61 posts and the other 313 (nice) so why did u make this.

Are there any 7simul users? If so, what one did you use? Bpaul of Tommys

Also how do i memorise pins with sheerin?

I use Tommy’s 7 simul but with Oxford memo. I don’t recommend learning sheerin since it’s just worse than 7 simul

I have learnt sheerin a few weeks ago, but i just dont know the pin memo. Thats why i might switch.

Also what is oxford memo?

It’s a way to memo where you memo the position the clocks need to move too rather than how many clicks it needs to move. It makes simul turning much easier and can also allow for faster tps. There’s a YouTube video by oxzowachi alt that explains how to do it if you’re interested

When you say pin memo do you mean the pin order for sheerin or something else?
