I think he uses a YLMWhat is your main?

Might want to magnetise/lube it?I think he uses a YLM
Well my first cube was a Yuxin Little Magic M, I'm using that right now, I thought it was cheap, and it had good reviews so I thought to myself, why not buy a magnetic version of the cube since it was so dirt cheap and good.

what do you mean by DIY lubes? vegetable oil and that sort?
Please do not use vegetable oil or anything like that as lube. Vegetable oil is an organic substance and will breed bacteria. second, lubricants which aren't generally used for cubes will essentially ruin the cube after some time. Ive been cubing for years and have only recently switched to proper silicone lubricants, and they make a massive difference.
I'd recommend getting either weight 3 or 5. I have weight 5, and I used it in my xs. It made it slow, but after 500 break-in solves it got really smooth and fast. I heard weight 3 is similar but requires less break-in time, but doesn't last as long. If you can't get weight 5, then you could get some traxxas 50k as it is very similar.
Lubing cubes is very important for maximizing performance, and for making your cube last longer.
How could I buy lubes when there are lockdown?
If you are too lazy to turn fast than make sure your solves have no pauses. I think you solves will be faster if you turn slow and have no pauses.How could I buy lubes when there are lockdown?

today I'm not getting good averages because I'm too lazy to turn fast.
If you turn slow and have no pauses, you would still have bad F2L inefficiencies. The key to getting sub-12 first is getting rid of as many F2L inefficiencies as much as possible, then sub-10 is from training your cross+1.If you are too lazy to turn fast than make sure your solves have no pauses.

I have already said in this thread many times that F2L efficiency is the key.If you turn slow and have no pauses, you would still have bad F2L inefficiencies. The key to getting sub-12 first is getting rid of as many F2L inefficiencies as much as possible, then sub-10 is from training your cross+1.
Woah, what happened? Why Roux?
I know it's late but you were 14/15 after 3 months. That's dedication.

pretty good average but oof that 9 second solve, might consider learning Roux with all of its CMLL algorithms.
I just use CFOP and have cubed for 3 and a half months.

Roux seems fun and my slice turn are pretty fast.
I wouldn't even dare resetting my time session.
What do you average with roux right now?
