How fast were you when you switched to a DIY?

[shelley]

16-17 average. I tried different DIYs before then, but none worked as well as my storebought. And then I discovered the Type F.

I was right around a minute. Now I average between 40 and 50 seconds... I know that's still slow, I just need to practice more.

I bought a Rubik's brand from the store and it was painful to use, so the next day I did some research and ordered a Rubik's DIY... then I did some more research and ordered an FII, they took a week to arrive and my time went from 2:30, to 1:30 straight away. Now I can't believe I even touched the storebought cube, it's horrible. That's why I think beginners should start on a nice out of the box cube like an FII, I wouldn't have stuck with the cube for much more than a week if I still used the storebought one.
