How to get sub 20?

[PlutoCuber]

Today I got my first sub 20 Avg. It was 19.48. I got it because I was constantly looking ahead and executing algorithms at max speed. I do not consistently get sub 20 averages. For those of you with constant sub 20 averages please post the biggest tip that helped you get sub 20 solves.

practice. that's it.

slow down in f2l, look ahead and practice a lot

Look ahead constantly and execute algorithms as fast as you can. That's what I do.

I do that time to time.

But to PlutoCuber, to me, be quick and comfortable with your algorithms.

F2L lookahead.

is it just me, or was the orange face missing/scrambled on his cube?

Just practice your f2l and maybe you might want to increase your alg recongization and execution times.

Don't look at the timer while solving. I use to look at the timer just after I finish F2L. I stopped this habit a week ago and now I am consistently sub-20. Also, make sure that you plan out your ENTIRE cross during inspection. Again, this helped get me sub-20.

Practice and stop over thinking how to get to sub 20.

Once you understand that, you're set.

i slow down on the last move of my

- cross
- 1st pair
- 2nd pair
- 3rd pair
- oll

and prepare for the next thing to be done . this is how i practice . and i keep telling myself not to stop turning hehe .

im not sub 20 and my tip is f2l slow while looking ahead then last layer as fast an you can also learn full pll and oll good luck

(1) PRACTICE! This is definitely the main thing that helps you get faster.
(2) If you use CFOP learning all the OLLs and PLLs really helps.
(3) Learning advanced stuff like COLL, ZBLS, and VHLS can also improve times.
(4) Go slow and practice looking ahead.
(5) Drill algorithms.

 

[cfcuber]

Just practice. It's difficult, but anyone can do it.

how to get consistent sub 20 solves?
my cross+f2l finishes at about 10-13 secs usually

 

[crafto22]

Just try to practise a lot, sub-20 isn't that hard IMO

Practice and stop over thinking how to get to sub 20.

:tu

But, if you want to get sub-20 looking ahead will help you a lot. And start learning the OLLs and the PLLs(If you haven't already).

I made it
I am getting consistent sub20 ao12s and got a sub 20 ao100
