Just how much faster is the Weilong than a Shuang Ren?

Not so much. It's the non locky part that makes the difference. My Milky Zhanchi is about same speed as my weilongs. But a lot more locky.

Interesting. You should try putting Shuang Ren springs in a Zhanchi, it's fantastic. And some CPM does a world of good.

Today I got my first sub-10 single!!! 9.99 lol... I would've been so annoyed if it were 10.00. I haven't broken that PB single (previously 10.05) for over half a year...

Grats sneaklyfox! I was surpised by your average etc that you hadnt had a sub 10 yet.

Thanks! Apparently you haven't had one yet either and you're not far off from me at all. The 10.05 previously was actually supposed to be sub-10 but the timer didn't stop the first time. It would've been a 9.7x I think. But I think today I also realized that I'm so used to practicing at relatively slow speeds for look ahead purpose that I don't really go full speed as fast as I can go. I got faster times when I tried just to go fast. Either that or today I was in the zone <10(1), <11(1), <12(4), <13(5)... this is a lot better than other days when I expect a few sub-13s at most.

Nice! I doubt I will ever have a sub 10 solve.. Even in prepared solves I have a hard time getting sub 15. LOL! Great achievement Melody!

Im not trying to take away from posting accomplishments in this thread, but i really think most anyone can do sub 15 single. Just lots of practice! And most people can achieve a sub 10 if they give it the additional time, or maybe have some luck. I will get it one day and then flip out of my chair in happiness

Also

15.05 avg 12 (yay)

 

[MarcelP]

I hope you are right.. I practice enough.. LOL Maybe with a last layer skip or so

Easy for you to say when you're already there (sub-15 solves) or nearly there (sub-10 single). But I know what you're saying. Hope you get a sub-10 single soon.

And I'm always rooting for Marcel. GOGOGO MARCEL!

 

[PeelingStickers]

On the topic of sub-10 singles, I hit a 10.02 yesterday. Would have been the most annoying solve ever if I hadn't already had a very lucky sub-10. Still extremely annoying though.

I don'tthink I can ever sub-10 pb is 10.23 with extremely easy cross + f2l and pll skip

How about this scramble?

I had a 11.33 on the first try, so I know, ninja's like Kunparekh can easily sub 10 with that scramble.

If I would count PBs on lolscrambles my pb would be 7.xy, but what's the use

Edit: 5.35 first try, I suck, people around wr speed could easily sub-4.5 this I guess
