How long did it take for you to get sub 20 seconds?

[Lazy Einstein]

3 months I only had two sub-20 solves. I am hoping to be Ao2500 sub 20 by 6 months.

 

[Jaycee]

I got sub-20 within a year. More than 2 years later I'm not sub-15. >_>

 

[Antonie faz fan]

Les then 4 months. And now nearly after 2 years i am very close to sub 10

 

[SolveThatCube]

I started cubing in February last year and got my first sub 20 sometime around the end of May last year, and then sometime in June I was getting sub 20 averages

 

[CompanionCube]

I never timed my solves it's been about 10~9 months since I started cubing. I timed my solves yesterday and I got a 17 second single and an 23 sec average of 12.

I use full pll and about 30 OLLs. I use intuitive F2L and I am currently learning few algorithmic F2L

4 months (approx 3 months and 2 weeks) sub 20 Practice slow turning and looking ahead without timing and you will get it

 

[plusCubed]

I started cubing 2009, and started getting sub-20 averages 3 months ago. So.... 5 years. I am very efficient. Not.

First solved a cube in July and learned full pll in December 2013. Currently my best time is 20.01 and it's extremely annoying XD

 

[FJT97]

i did need 2 and a half years, now my pb is 15.55

 

[alexli2014]

for me, it took me around 6 months to get from a 45-50 second average to an 18-19 second average

for me, it took me around 6 months to get from a 45-50 second average to an 18-19 second average

My average is 45-50 seconds what must I do to become sub 20

 

[TraciAG]

I went from average 1:20 to sub-20 in a little more than six months as well.

My average is 45-50 seconds what must I do to become sub 20

Practice cross, lookahead and efficiency during your F2L (if you do CFOP).

 

[nalralz]

It took me 6 months to get from not knowing how to solve it to 19.74 seconds average of 5.

 

[Jovanjarren]

my average is 35 secs and iv been cubing for 1 month. Any tips on how to get faster? I know 2 look oll and full pll.

Make sure you don't pause anywhere in you solve, especially during F2L and Cross->F2L.


That's just generic.


You're going to have to be a lot more specific if you want specific tips.


Also, don't bump old threads...

that's really good, it took me over 2 years to become sub-20

 

[Kudz]

~4 months form first solve.

 

[Siddharth]

It took me 4 months from not knowing how to solve to sub 20
My last layer is extraordinarily bad- 8 seconds on avg!
Even though I know full pll and 90% of the oll

 

[YouCubing]

~10 months, ik that's not fast but I do every event I can, so I don't have as much time for 3x3

 

[Torch]

A little more than 3 years for me, but I had a semihiatus in there.
