Is the bell v2 your new main?

As of right now, yes. Even though people say the ylm is better, as of right now I get better times with the Bell

I am a Duck just so you know (not that I'm complaining, Qiyi cubes are great!). Did you mod your YLM or is it pretty much stock?

Huge thanks to zzoomer for critiquing my solves, he gave some awesome advice, and now I know moreso what to practice.

How can I get crituques from him?

I modded it and set it up, and tbh it feels better than the bell, but I still get better times with the bell. Idk why

Maybe it's because I put a lot of time into the set-up?

Perhaps. I'm not really sure. It could be a mental thing, idrk.

I'm going to be spending the entire week on cross+1 as well as my F2L solutions.
Right now my average time for Cross+1 is 3-4 seconds, and I think I could relatively easily cut that down to sub 3, possibly low 2.
And then for the rest of my F2L my solution are not that great, so I'll be learning advanced F2L algs to replace my bad intuitive solutions.

PB Ao5!
9.64, beat the previous avg by .04

 

[Cuber2s]

catching up to me

 

[Eli Apperson]

Going to continue to work on cross+1 this week, and also some big cube or megaminx. Have not decided what yet, but most likely 5x5. Goal by the end of April is a low 10/ sub 10 average.

 

[Eli Apperson]

5x5 PB Ao5:
1:24.69

 

[Eli Apperson]

Going to start putting all my time towards 3x3 and 5x5.
I'll be spending all my grinding time on 5x5, and 3x3 will be more technique practice.
3x3 Current Ao100: 11.36
5x5 Ao100: 1:39.63

good idea

 

[Eli Apperson]

I received a Angstrom MGC 4x4 and a Pro Shop MGC 5x5.
The 4x4 has become my main, but I'm not sure about the 5x5 yet.

pro shop is usually not considered as a very good setup. i really like the mystic mgc 5x5 though

Really, I haven't heard that before. I've loved every pro shop cube I've ever gotten though. It's breaking in nicely, and I love the feeling of silicone setups, so I think it will become my main

 

[Cuber2s]

They are very good but have a very simple setup and some people don't like that

some people dont like the draggy feel of the silicone lube

Ah.

 

[Garf]

Ah.

It should be Eli Theperson's progression thread, not CubableYT's progression thread.
