Do you want cube recommendations or...?

I want to know how to describe my turning style. I've been searching the internet for about an hour. I'm pretty happy with most of my current mains.

It's going to be hard for anyone else to describe it without being able to see it in a video or something.

Purple air or the green AoLong are what my turning style is like usually during solves. The others were cubes I wasn't very used to

Here, I made a slow motion video for you.

Reasonably standard but it appears slighto jerk and catchy though the transition between moves is fairly good.

I have the Gan 356s V2 and love it. The Valk 3 seems pretty popular as well.

I swear I saw somewhere that rubik's cubes with white touching yellow were made before a certain time, when the color scheme was switched to white across from yellow. Anyone have info on that?

They switched the blue and yellow sides. The old colour scheme is now known as the Japanese colour scheme.

Do you know when they switched the blue and yellow sides?

 

[Alex B71]

okay, good/trusted puzzle shops/sites based within the UK (preferably)?

I'm not sure about this, but it was very early. I still own two original Rubik's cubes that I bought in 1981. Both of them have what is now known as the Japanese color scheme.

I'm pretty sure that by the early nineties they were all the Western color scheme instead.

I ordered from thepuzzlestore a week or two ago and it was quite good. Shipping was decent (like £3) and the cubes came in two days.

These days I don't improve in anything/break PBs like in any event, especially 2x2 my main event(i average 1.9-2.1 but am not that consistent.). My consistency is really bad and this is very demotivating. What should I do? I already practice a lot.

Isn't inconsistency expected when the event is extremely scramble dependent?

 

[Ordway Persyn]

maybe practice events you don't do that often for a while, or take a short break from cubing.

hello everyone,

Has anyone developed, or could anyone develop algorithms for inserting the last F2L pair that also orient and permute the last layer corners?

I've searched but haven't found such an algorithm set. Has it been done before and are there any resources where I could find them?

thanks
