Clock or 3x3?

Clock or 3x3?

3x3

3x3

Okay. I am working on clock right now. Any tips? Averaging ~17 with the Qiyi.

Establish a pin order, and just grind solves

 

[Eli Apperson]

Acquired a stickered Valk 2 M from a friend of mine, and it's probably the best 2x2 I've ever felt. I don't know why stickered 2x2's always are so much nicer, but this one is no exception. I'm probably going to grind 2x2 for a bit just for fun, I remember most of my CLL's, but I'll probably review them some.

How does it compare to the MGC? Does it require a lot of lube to make it good?

It's more stable and heavy then the MGC, and not quite as fast. I put 6 drops of Lunar in it after cleaning the sticky qiyi lube out, and it's quite nice right now.

6x6 or 7x7? I think it's 6x6, but I could be wrong.

6x6 or 7x7? I think it's 6x6, but I could be wrong.

6x6

 

[Garf]

6x6

Props to sub-3 on 6x6, man! I am going to tell you, if you keep practicing and don't get bored with big cubes, 2:30 will be kinda hard, kinda like sub-1:30 on 5x5 and sub 4, maybe even sub 3:30 on 7x7. But if you keep putting in the effort, you WILL get there. Again good work and keep up the good effort!

 

[Eli Apperson]

Got my tornado v3, unfortunatly it seems to be defective, the green center stalk is split down the middle, and it exploded during first turns.

 

[Eli Apperson]

Fixed(for the time being anyway) my v3 with superglue. It's a very nice cube. It's main qualities are speed, softness and crunchiness, which makes a very pleasant feel. I'm going to do an ao100 today and see how it performs.
