How should I break sub-20?

[Lotsofsloths]

I am trying to break sub-20 but I really don't know what to work on:
F2l: 10-14sec
LL: 7ish seconds.
What should I work on?
Should I learn all of the OLLs?
Or should I just work on F2l

I'm nowhere near sub-20 but i'll summarize information i've heard

F2L can always get faster. Sub-10 F2L would be nice

And/or

Get all PLLs sub3

as far as i know, OLL is just used for consistency. PLL and F2L help out times (or destroy times) the most. Having 20+ OLLs would help significantly though

I'll race you to sub-20
What I am going to do is try to get my F2L down to around 10-11 seconds average. But I already know all OLL's so maybe you should do that.
Your 2H times and my OH times are near identical

With a 7 second LL you'll be fine. Work on F2L.

MMk, Eric L. told me when I insert my pairs, or do the final 3 moves, I should slow down and look ahead, so I'm gonna try that.

I'm about the same as you lotsofsloths, with a 7ish LL. I got my first sub 20 average a few days ago but still average about 21.

But you say you are going to go slow on the last F2L pair? I was always taught to finish the last one as fast as you can because you'll have to slow to look at the OLL anyway.

that's really good advice i'm gonna use that one too. i'm around 20 sec for cross+f2l. so i really need to work on that. and this tip makes is easier to look ahead.

I meant go slow on the inserting of every F2l pair(the last part of that section you have to solve.)

ALSO:
I took an average of 12:

19.00!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!! Well done Daniel . Join the club!

Lotsofsloth: the tips erik gave you are really nice, i got a pretty nice avg with it

 

[Leo]

Congrats! Beat me by .93 my hands were shaking violently the last few solves xD.

Work on the F2L. Obviously, look ahead, move count. Also, go fast on the last pair because it is very difficult to predict OLL, so just go fast and don't bother looking ahead.
