Hi , Belgian noob BenVdd reporting for duty!

[BenVdd]

another sub 30 avg of 12 i just did. Not a PB but i did get close to my singles pb. Messed up a U perm a bit on it aswell so I was kinda bummed ^^

Also : only 2 30+ solves

 

[MarcelP]

Nice! Let's see a Ao100 soon What timer is that?

qqtimer.

Also, why don't you just do as many solves as you can, and then take the best Ao12? Nice job!

 

[BenVdd]

because i like to see if I can get an ao12 on any given 12 solves i do these longer sessions aswell. But if i get this sub30 in 12 solves instead of getting it a couple of times in an ao100 feels better to me also they take less long

Going to do an ao100 probably today or tomorrow

 

[MarcelP]

I understand what you mean. I think you are fine with Sub 30 Ao12's now.. You can set aim at sub 25. LOL.. Looking at you progress I guess it will be in less then a few weeks.

 

[BenVdd]

i still need to learn 2 Gperms so i have set my goal to sub 25 ao100 and learn the friggin Gperms by the end of the year

 

[BenVdd]

so I recieved my white zhanchi 55mm and white lanlan2x2. My recognition sucks on this white zhanchi But the turning is soooo smooth i love it!

 

[MarcelP]

I had same problem with white cubues. I actually made a poll and more people have that problem. But then I ordered half bright stickers form Cubesmith and now I am faster on my white Zhanchi.

 

[BenVdd]

first 2x2 ao12 : 17.24, 14.45, 14.11, 15.28, 15.56, 11.80, 12.19, 10.45, 16.30, 15.92, 12.24, 13.00 ao12 = 14.08 , ao5 =13.09 .. I am such a noobie

 

[MarcelP]

Actually.. these are quite good times My Ao12 is around 12 secs but I have not practiced in a long while..

EDIT: I just tested it. I have decrease..

Best average of 12: 13.20
1-12 - 13.42 (17.40) (9.42) 14.52 14.70 12.13 14.65 13.22 15.36 11.35 10.51 12.18

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Noobie?! Get going you lol My times are worse than that!

(ok I do use the 3x3 algos and not proper 2x2, that might help )

 

[tengurocks]

you shoud have gotten the wittwo v1

 

[BenVdd]

i do use the 3x3 algs aswell kattenvriendin

And @tengurocks This lanlan works fine for me. and holidays are coming up so i know i will be buying more cubes once they hand over mah money! Also who knows, maybe i'll end up liking the lanlan over the wittwo anyway.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

you shoud have gotten the wittwo v1

No he shouldn't unless he wants to grind coffee beans

My point: personal tastes differ, mine is different still; I prefer my Shengshou.

 

[BenVdd]

So the recognition on this white cube is getting better, but its a tough switch from a stickerless to this... Almost had a sub30 but those last couple of solves did me in. Gonna do an ao12 2x2 now


EDIT:

2x2

not bad, not great

 

[YddEd]

quickly did 4 solves since i didn't have too much time today : 27.69, 27.68, 33.19, 26.14 asides from the 33.19 it was rather consistant. I cleaned out my core yesterday and it shows

session avg: 27.68

Thats better than me :O

 

[BenVdd]

Did an Ao50 :

broke my single PB and almost got my ao12 pb , so close

I must say i'm liking this zhanchi. My recognition still needs alot of work on it but it turns so smooth and with ease. Love it.

 

[MarcelP]

Nice! 21.76.. Great times Ben

 

[MarcelP]

Did you save the scramble of your single PB? I am curious..

 

[BenVdd]

no sorry :/ but i know it wasnt a lucky one. Maybe 1 f2l pair was a bit easy but overall not lucky as far as i could tell
