A thing that helped me was that since I would never look ahead my brother told me to solve with a metronome in the background. Basically I do cross as fast as i can (normal) and during F2L I go slow. During each beep I must do a turn, and you can set this to however slow you need to assure that you actually turn. It forces you to practice lookahead and it helped me a lot. I really recommend it

And finish PLL, you can stick to 2look OLL for a while.

that's what i did to practice F2L and it has really helped alot (still a little slow at it though)

Brian, I am moving over to a new account (changing my name) and I was wondering if you could count my 25.23 average for round 25 as the first for my new account?
My new account is pi.cubed

Thanks.

36.76 was fail, 22.25 was 4 move cross. Also, I did the maths twice but you can double check if you are unsure. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with this result.

I recorded this but there's no point in posting it because I can see that I am just clumsy. I used my brand new Sheng En FII (EDIT)! The yellow and orange stickers are too similar, in my opinion, so I put new orange stickers on there. It feels more fragile than my other cubes and caps fall off every so often but other than that I like it so far!

At this point I finished learning all the PLLs so that's exciting. I am going to start focusing more on the cross and F2L

Brian, I am moving over to a new account (changing my name) and I was wondering if you could count my 25.23 average for round 25 as the first for my new account?
My new account is pi.cubed

Thanks.

ignore that. i decided on sticking to pure green cross (going to extend to blue cross eventually when i get that down..but yeah)

i'm already at 22 seconds green cross average. please ignore the above post

Brian -- I've got a Sheng En F2 as well, and I like it quite a bit (I don't have a lot of other cubes, just a Haiyan's Memory Cube [only had it for a week] and a Ghosthand II) but, I had the same problem. The caps would pop off here and there. Seeing that I only really need to take the caps off the center cubies, I decided that when they would pop off I'd super glue them back into place. I used super glue with the precision tip. However, if you decide to go that route -- I recommend putting just one drop, and do it inside the cubie, not on the cap. Cause some will want to squeeze out. It's not a big deal if that happens, just use an exacto and then wet sand it. Now that I've done that (and re-stickered it, cause the stickers were terrible), my F2 is my main cube over the Ghosthand (however the haiyan's is quickly becoming my fav).
