what 1x1 do you use?

I use a 1x1 I made myself. It's a light metal cuboid with stickers I put on it. The turning is extremely smooth and fast, and the corner cutting (positive and reverse) can reach up to 360 degrees.

nice. i use a dayan transparent 1x1. its set up with weight 5 in the core and mystic, weight 3, and dnm-37 on the peices
it has some catching problems, but i use it because i love the smooth feel. its very quiet.

FIRST SUB-10 AO5!!!
A lot of lucky solves, and the crosses are mainly pretty easy so I could predict the next pair.
I'm not sure when I will actually be sub-10 though, might take a few months.
This average was mainly due to luck.

Anyway, here are the times and scrambles:

Btw my mean of 411 solves is now sub-14 (13.825)

Dang that's fast, my best AO5 is 27.892
I know Beginner F2L, BrOLL, And 5 PLL algs
Can you help me know what I should know next
And where should I buy my cubes from/what is the best under $30 3x3
As I currently main a Qiyi Carbon Fibre, Non Magnetic cube that I got as a Bday Present

 

[Timona]

So guys, my three main goals are to get sub-10 3x3, sub-1 4x4, and sub-3 2x2. Can you guys take the poll on which is harder to reach, or do you guys have any suggestions on which goal I should go for first?

Definitely sub-10 3x3, as that's what I'm currently trying to achieve. Sub-1 4x4 is easy, I don't have a good cube and I'm sub-1; I have no experience with 2x2 so I cant speak for that.

 

[Timona]

I learnt yau already, but I'm slow at making the first three pairs and the last 4 centers. I average slower on yau than redux lol.

I assume you have a good cube
-Learn Half Centres
-Watch a lot of J-Perm
-Practice

 

[NigelTheCuber]

I learnt yau already, but I'm slow at making the first three pairs and the last 4 centers. I average slower on yau than redux lol.

I doo a mix of both. I do redux centers, then finish a cross, pair edges using 323 and then do 3x3 stage. Works better for me

 

[Imsoosm]

Today is the end of my first month on speedsolving.com!! Thank you guys so much for the suggestions and help you guys gave me love you guys

I have already improved a second on my average from 14 to low 13.

 

[Imsoosm]

Hooray! Another sub-10 with another Jb perm at the end.

brOLL is a prank and if you know that you should learn something like 2look oll

 

[hyn]

brOLL is a prank and if you know that you should learn something like 2look oll

What's brOLL?

 

[NigelTheCuber]

What's brOLL?

the slowest oll system ever

 

[Imsoosm]

I just solved a LL case with the OOPS method.
I did a wrong OLL, did another OLL, and got a PLL skip.

 

[Imsoosm]

I restarted my 3x3 times session as my cstimer was wiped, and this is how I will measure whether I am sub-10 or not from now on:
I currently have 6 sub-10 in a 70 solve session, so that's about 8% of total solves. I will consider myself to be sub-10 when 75%+ of solves in a session are sub-10.

75% of my solves are sub 20. rest are not

I one-looked that 0.9 and now for some random reason my ao5 is lower than my mo3

I'll do recons for the last six solves:

1. (2.880) R U F2 R' F U F2 U2 F'
x z' U' R' U2 R' // layer
F U R U' R' U R U' R2 F' R U R U' R' U' // CLL

2. 1.174 U R' F' U' F2 U' R U2 R (one of the easier EG-1 algs that I randomly decided to memorize because it was very easy)
z R' F R2 U' R' y' U R U R' U' // EG-1

3. 1.768 U' F U F2 R2 F' R2 F U
x' y2 U2 R' U' R U L' U L // layer

4. 2.175 F R U F' U2 F R U2 R'

5. 2.055 U R' U2 R' U' R U' F2 U

R U2 R' U' R U' R' U' // CLL

6. (0.900) F2 U' R' F2 R' U2 R U2 R' U2 (I was going for yellow or white but then saw the 2 move blue layer)
z y' U' R' // layer
U' R U' R' F R' F' R U' // CLL

I'm probably not going to get this kind of average again until I learn full eg

Comps aren't opening here soon, but I plan to learn full EG before September.
And IF I get a four mover in a comp... I need to start practicing four movers...
