Michael Wimberly's Progression Thread —THE GREAT SPRINT EVENT MARATHON

[Michael Wimberly]

Quick tengyun 2x2 review!!1!111!!!1!1!1!!one11!!!

It is a little slow, but very smooth and stable. Screws are loose, but the springs that were already in it were very tight, which made a very unique feeling that was very flexible but stable at the same time. Corner cutting is amazing, and magnets are moderate strength.

Edit: I cleaned it out, put in the weaker springs, and lubed it with XMT 10 and it’s amazing

I am working on sprint events now

So, when I locked in on 4x4 practice I dropped my average from over 2 minutes to 1:20 in a little less than a month. So I know that I can really improve on an event if I lock in. Which event should I lock in on next? I'm thinking of either 2x2, Skewb, or Pyraminx, but I plan on dedicating at least a month on each of these.

Pyraminx cuz it’s easy to improve on.

Ok, I’ll do Pyraminx. My goal is sub-6 for now.

My results from my last comp are on my WCA now

It’s official, I’m grinding spring events! I’m gonna grind Pyraminx until I’m sub 6, then Skewb for the same goal, then 2x2 until I’m comfortable with CLL. This is gonna take a while, but it will be worth it.
