[Kattenvriendin]

Yes, I have not tried it yet because I want to do it on video.. To busy with ' boodschappen' etc.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Nice times you made with that scramble on those cubes

 

[MarcelP]

Yeah! PB Ao50 and a sub 29 Ao12!!

 

[MarcelP]

Sneaklyfox, you have to update your OH Ao12 PB to 28.86

 

[BenVdd]

Nice, Marcel! Oh, I think it will be awhile before that happens for me though. I don't even know how I pulled that 29.04.

After sleeping 16 hours because of the flu I had a great Ao100 session. Broke my Ao100, Ao50, Ao12, Ao5 and Ao3 record..

 

[BenVdd]

Good job marcel!

 

[lcsbiffi]

Nicely done

 

[MarcelP]

Thanks guys. I do not know how I pulled it off. I notice a change in finding the pairs. It goes more easily and when i find them I do not have to think about what to do with them so I can look out for the next pair..

I've just found out that i've been doing that since last week. It seems like I don't have as much trouble finding pairs as I used to, and I can insert them quite easily too

 

[BenVdd]

I still struggle with finding pairs alot. Frantically scanning the cube after an insertion.. I have been practicing inserting F2L pairs blind, wich is not difficult anymore. But whenever i have my eyes open i cannot keep myself from looking at the pair i'm solving. :/

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Ben it will come

What you can do to help this is slooooowww dooowwwn. Seriously. I did and it is helping me a LOT two weeks down the road

 

[BenVdd]

Yes I know. But it's harder than it sounds I do really bad OH solves to force me to be slower (my pb is like 1min20s OH )

 

[Kattenvriendin]

LOL my pb consists out of dropping the cube with OH, so I gave that up lol

But yeah.. I know it is hard, but at some point in time you will notice you start putting the pairs in without thinking, and that you suddenly seem like you have much more time to look for pairs (that is the lookahead that is starting to work).

But ... yea.. patience and practice Bummer huh.. no magic pill lol
