The guhong arrived in the mail yesterday. Have been breaking it in quite a bit. Didn't lube it yet cuz it doesn't really need any atm in my opinion. (did adjust a screw a bit cuz the spring would lock up. For example i turned a face 270° and the spring would somehow not allow me to turn any further without applying a pretty high amount of force)

Just did 6 timed solves.

01:18.23 01:12.24 01:09.72 01:20.37 01:21.03 01:27.84

New personal best and avg of 5 under 1:20 (01:16.32)
I still don't even know 2look OLL/PLL (I know like 4 OLL and 2 PLL) so I never though my times would have dropped this much.

Needless to say i'm pretty happy with these results :)


Next goal : sub 50s PB and sub 1min avg of 12

Thanks for the replies. I have to say that that Personal Best was probably a fluke. my averages are still around the 55s mark

EDIT: The reason i didn't put up a video yet is because i don't have an external recording device. i'm on a laptop with a webcam built into the lid. I will screencap the timer and record with webcam and edit them together one day , but i'm just too lazy. Also you would see the back of what i'm seeing wich seems silly.

Also my lookahead is virtually non existant at this point
