how to get sub 20 seconds (not minutes)

[AJelsma]

Ok everyone I average about 23s the thing is i will get 21's and 26's =23s average

I do roughly 13-15 cross & F2l or 11-13 second f2l then i get 5-10 oll & pll

I am working on the oll and pll part so i do not need help with that (or obsessive help)

So I guess I am asking how to speed up my f2l

I look ahead pretty well maybe I should just learn advanced algs so i can speed them quick

Please help Thanks

This thread belongs in the Beginner Section, and this question has been asked many, many times before.

Work on your look ahead. You say you look ahead pretty well but at 13-15 second F2L there's still room for improvement. Look ahead is everything.

Just keep practicing. It's a biological process.

anyway, what is the breakdown of your F2L? How long is your cross? How many moves is your F2L in total? If it is more than 35-38 on avg, work on getting it below that. Other than that, it is a matter of just putting time into it. I took 4 months of continuous practice to go from 24 to 20, so don't be discouraged.

Keep in mind that i counted anything 2 as 2 moves (U2,L2 etc)

1. 31 no rotations
2. 31 no rotations
3. 34 1 rotation
4. 29 1 rotation in beginning
5. 32 1 rotation in beginning

Turning freakingly fast seems to help for a lot of people
No pauses help as well
Not thinking about what you are doing, but instead figuring out the next step helps
