How to get rid of lock up (or reduce it)

[idkreal]

Pls somebody answer this question that ive been wondering for days

 

[callmezap]

setup ur cube in a way tht suits ur turning

 

[Michael Wimberly]

Maybe loosen the center travel a bit

loosen your cube to the point where you feel like you don’t have a lot of control (basically it feels a bit too fast). I know it sounds counter-intuitive but here’s why you should do it:
1. it forces you to be looser with your turning, which causes you to have higher TPS
2. it forces accurate turning, which helps with training turning accuracy
3. it’s looser so corner-cutting is easier
now aside from the cube, I suggest doing timed slow solves where you focus solely on trying to align each layer perfectly.

Improve your setup and improve your turning

 

[abunickabhi]

Just focus on your turning and be more mindful and conscious while executing turns at any TPS

maybe turn slower and smoothly and if you have a rubiks brand or a bad cube i think you should get a speedcube (like the moyu rs3m)

 

[Martyt7777]

You might want to try this practice drill where you turn way slower than you normally would, but try to align every layer as perfectly as possible. This way, you will build the habit of better aligning your layers even at a faster turn speed.

i havent tried this btw this quote is from cubeheads vid about how to turn faster

With lookahead, you will turn more slowly, and turn less locky. Also, practice turning each move accurately on each solves with a non-magnetic cube to improve accuracy.

What modle is it? Perhaps some more context would help a bit more if we knew what the problem is on whatever cube you are using.

The super rs3m

Ok, thanks. I removed the maglev and added magnets to the corner foot and edges. I think it feels INSANE! But every cuber is different. But it can be restored to normal if you don't like it..

 

[Jared Burkhart]

Also, dont put springs in there. The less pressure on the pieces the better because the magnets will make up for the lost pressue and give you way more control.
