This challenge will have to wait a while longer but I captured a 16.83 Ao5 during my attempt.
The first two solves contained a ton of pauses and the third solve.. well... you'll just have to watch it!
Number 4 and 5 make up for it 
Eeewwww.. stock stickers... LOL... You have got to love those 38 sec solves when you average 20.
Solve 4 was orange cross... thought you might like it.
Just to be clear my real average is sup 30 also overall, about 32 something. That 27 ao5 was especially good right now.

I wasn't as happy as I usually am with a PB. My times are so inconsistent recently. For some reason today I got in a really good flow that lasted longer than just 10-20 solves. But I have more bad averages than good ones these days. Earlier this week I had two that were sup-19.
I have been making more of an effort to turn slow and look ahead and I think that's why I had good form today. I can see in the video I made today that I still pause way too much though - more than I realize while solving. Solves that seem smooth and almost pause-free look full of pauses when watched back on video!
Really nice solves, as usual! I'm sure you will improve faster than any of us as it looks like you have so much room.
Very nice
. How tight do you have your 356? It looks really tight in that vid. I love the feel but find it too unstable - does tightening fix that?

I have it where it cuts 45 degrees without effort. But compared to a Moyu it is very tight. I think the main thing to fix is the screws in the corners. You have to fiddle a bit. I think mine are like, first screw untill you can not screw further. Then unscrew one and a half full turn. The champion of last Ducth Nationals asked me if he could borrow my cube since he really liked it (and he did use it at the comp and I just used another of my Gans356's). And he has a Gans 356 himself... Just to prove you have to adjust and fiddle a lot untill you like it. I think there is no better cube than the Gans 356 and there won't be for a long time.Very nice
Oh yeah, any other must have cubes? 3x3 for now.
I know there are forums about this but I'd rather ask here.

The TangLong has got good reviews and seems the exciting cube of the moment, although mine hasn't arrived yet so I can't vouch for it. There are lots of good cubes and they all feel a bit different. In my opinion it's worth getting a few and seeing what you like. Also experiment with setting them up. I agree with Mike that HuaLong is great. AoLong v2 has been my main for over a year, it just needs good tensions and lube (corner cutting is fine on mine). YuXin is good and feels quite similar. I still love the WeiLong v2, it's a bit smoother and faster than the AoLong. Gan356 you know all about. Most cubes are good these days so you can't go far wrong!Oh yeah, any other must have cubes? 3x3 for now.
Those are nice results!
OK, I think mine are only unscrewed about 0.75 turn. Catchiness is gone tho. How much of the plastic core do you have sticking through your nuts? My nuts are level with the ends.
Lack of practice must be pretty frustrating. It'll be great to say hello at the UKC in a few weeks time.
