Few Questions about Cube Type F

[daniel0731ex]

black = better recognition to some people
white = smoother and faster and higher quality.

Hmm... could you tell us what times you're getting.

Maybe you shouldn't even be considering getting a DIY. If your average is high, don't even think about getting a new 3x3. Just lube your current cube and practice with it.

My Average is 1:15 (10 Solves)
I solve the cube with the Beginner Method, 7 Levels:
Cross -> First Layer -> Second Layer -> Cross -> Center -> Rotate Corners (U R U' L' U R' U' L -> Top Layer (Twice D' R' D R // Twice R' D' R D).

I try to learn OLL, PLL, F2L but it's too hard,
Any way to learn it easier?
Heard about 2LookOLL 2LookPLL but I'm too confused..
I want to solve it faster.

About The CUBE:

I lost my Original Rubik's Cube (From eBay, Assembled, Very Fast),
So a friend borrowing me a White Diansheng 3x3x3 (Don't know if no.222 or no.333), He lubed it and it great and very fast, but it doesn't mine.

Today I got an original rubik's cube from store (high price here), but I can't open the center caps, and it moves VERY slow.
Tried to lubed it but it still VERY slow.

So I looking for a new one.

Thank You ALL.

By The Way, There is a picture of the DianSheng:

Thanks.

imo,
type F ll is too light ,
i don't like the feel (just for me )
i'm more prone to crispy one
i know there are many fans of Fll here ~

Thanks For All.

What kind of cube do you prefer?

Type F II Pops?

type F ll does pop ,not that frequent
i like All and C ,just because they both sound crispy
btw, A ll does pop a lot compare to others

There are lots of guides on how to get faster:
http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6085 (look here if you want to learn something new)
http://cubefreak.net/speed/easy_fast.html (this will help you to get faster with your current method)

There's really not much more to say. Follow the guide, learn 4-look last layer, intuitive/keyhole F2L and you should be able to get sub 40. There are very good video guides on youtube (you'll find some links in the guides), and you can also search the speedsolving wiki for more information.
