[Member Intro] Hi!

[Freya]

Hello! I'm Freya, from NYC. I'm pretty new, and have been speedcubing for about a month and a half now. My PB is ~39s with an average of 50-55s. I'm currently using CFOP and I know 2-look OLL and full PLL, but my cross and F2L feels incredibly slow and I'm awful at lookahead, lol. Any tips?

Hello! Tbh until you get to about 30 globally, there are really many tips other than PRACTISE and PRACTISE again (oh and don't develop bad habits and go for efficiency over tps)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time on the forums!

Welcome, Freya. It sounds like you're doing the right thing, just keep at it and the times will fall. Lookahead is hard to do, it will take time to get good at that, but even with poor lookahead, you can get quite decent solve times. Learn your cubes' color/colour scheme, so you instinctively know what belongs where. If you haven't already got one, buy a decent speed-cube, there's endless threads on here about the subject.
Keep us updated on your progress!
