How to improve 3x3 times

[roaggarwal]

Hi, i have averaging around 2min 50sec with my 4x4. I was wondering if there was a way to go to around 230 quick. Are there any tips that would help?

Practice. That's it. I averaged 2:30 on 4x4 and with about 2 week of practice I then averaged 1:50 without learning anything new.

improve 3x3 time... it is easiest way to down time. if you 3x3 is 1:00 on 4x4 or 3x3, you can improve this! also what cube you are using? rubik 4x4 is baaaaaaad. i would get mini qj or yong jun 4x4. this will help time down if you using rubik. good luck!

He's using a QJ, like I told you before, work on finding edges faster.
