Hi, I'm Lucaz. I just got into cubing a month ago.

I average about 57 seconds in 3x3. My PB in 3x3 is 42.40. I use 2-look OLL and PLL and Intuitive F2L.

Any tips for getting a sub 30 would be much appreciated.

I also got a 2x2 and a 4x4. My PB in 2x2 is around 18 seconds, with the beginner method. In 4x4, I haven't really timed a solve because I'm so slow. I also have a kilominx. My PB is around 3 mins.

What cube do you use for 3x3?

Oh yeah learn cross on bottom before cross on top becomes a bad habit later in speedsolving.
