How Long Did It Take You To Average Sub 20?

[gbcuber]

How did you guys get past that wall, I occasionally get 19 second times but its just too hard to break.

some lookahead, and possibly full pll, but it mostly came down to getting most of my f2l cases ingrained into my mind so I could perform them without thinking

 

[LouisCormier]

Around 9 months after I started learning Fridrich.

Got into speedcubing around October. Averaging 16.5 right now. The biggest wall was the 20-23s range. It felt like I was never going to get past that.

This sums me up exactly

You can easily be sub 20 with slow turning. I actually did an ao5 and 12 yesterday, turning very slow for F2L, then fast for OLL and PLL. I got a 16.xx average of 5 and a low 17 average of 12. Idk how it worked but they were pretty good averages surprisingly. I think I found my new turning style.

I became sub 20 in about 2 months.

I started in february, became sub 20 april.

 

[~Adam~]

Right around the year mark but I was stuck around 20-22 for at least 4 months.

Actually, my biggest wall was from 24-27.

That was like my easisest. I have been cubing since September and just about averaging 17-19

 

[Andrew Ricci]

About 3.25 months since I started speedcubing, and 3.75 months since I first solved a cube.

 

[Rpotts]

low 20s was a big wall for me aswell. Also i was stuck at high 16-18 for a long time.

 

[DeathCuberK]

took about 5 months. It's been a year now and I'm averaging about 16.xx.

 

[Owen]

I started in the summer of 2009, and I still average around 21 seconds.

I never practice

 

[ooveehoo]

About 4 years, still not consistent though. I might have averaged sub20 in 2008 when I still practiced a lot but I didn't really time my solves back then so I can't know for sure.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

started last summer.... average high 20s, low 30s, hope i can convince my parents to let me to to us nationals and be sub 20 by then.

 

[hic2482w]

Started 6 months ago, at ~25

 

[IamWEB]

Sub-20 a little over a year after learning (I was around the 20s mark/low 20s for awhile); ~7ish months after getting more serious about speedcubing.

 

[PowerCuber]

Took me like 3 months, then I got stuck at 17-20 and I'm still there. It's been like 7 months at that range.

 

[z8ex99]

Have bin cubing for 3 month now and are averaging around 30 sek.

 

[Specs112]

I started summer 2008 and I'm stuck at 20 right now.

 

[Chrisalead]

I'm averaging 19~20 right now. I cube since september (8 months).

 

[Selkie]

4 months from the start of the obsession and at ~25sec. Hoping to be sub 20 within another 2 months (seeing good improvement recently and still many weak areas to concentrate on to help get down to sub 20)
