Decreasing execution time

[malcolm]

I am aiming for sub-2 BLD soon, currently my memo sits at 40s-1min, and my execution is more like 2m-2:30 with freestyle edges and CO and CP. So, clearly i need to reduce my execution time. What is the best way to go about doing this?
My memo is 100% visual, i just memorize the stickers.

Practice?....

Practise...

Next you could find more algs to cycle your edges, so you can make setup with less moves. I use algs like:

M' U2 M U2 (rotated around the cube if needed)
R U R' U' r R' U R U' r' (mirrored aswell, good if targets are flipped edges in U-layer)
And for some cases with complicated setup moves I look for a commutator instead.

Learn some cycles for corners, in particular stuff that reduces a lot of setup moves. Same for edges.
Try to find cases that take you a while and look in threads around her, on my site, etc. for good resolutions.

Also, try other blindfolded methods.

I never use more than 2 setup moves, so i dont think thats a problem. I have been practicing sighted solves, seems to work just got a 2:05 time, new PB.

my execution time is just like yours, a little more than 2mins (using freestyle edges and CO, CP too), but my memo is really long. anyway, they say that the 3-cycle can be executed in around 40 secs, so why don't you try learning the 3-cycle? with 3-cycle plus 40secs memo and fast execution (around 40secs), you can be as fast as tyson mao.

Tyson Mao is slow...

You can execute EO,EP,CO,CP in 40s, but that still takes practice. Just carry on practicing with Freestyle + CO/CP, and you will get faster.

Used to to Macky, but by the time i have oriented edges, i could easily be 2/3 done freestyle edges. I will learn turbo for corners soon, seems fast.

He's still fifth in the world, officially. I know, for instance, that you can beat him (pretty thoroughly, actually), but you haven't done it in competition yet.

joey also hasn't had over 50 attempts at 3x3x3 BLD in competition after doing sub-2 officially.

56 attempts to be more precise. joey has yet to do sub-2 in comp, but I know next one he will surpass that barrier with ease.
