PB breaking tips

[bloxy5cuber]

Oh my GOSH! I really, REALLY need help breaking my PB of 34.89 seconds on 3x3! I don't know what to do and I'm using beginner CFOP rn. I don't know a lot of finger tricking and I'm kinda bad at the cross. I'll tell you all my segments.
Cross: 7 sec.
F2L: 10 sec.
OLL: 5 sec.
PLL: 7 sec.
Yes, I know that is 29 seconds. Thing is, I SUCK at finger tricking.
any tips?

do you know full PLL?
do you know full OLL?

It's very possible to get sub-20 with out those if you just work on you cross and F2L.

I would suggest practising you cross blind. (find the pieces, close your eyes, solve the cross)

Use 2-look oll and pll and improve cross and F2L (for TPS i recommend watching Cubehead's vid)

 

[pTr]

my splits rn are something like:
cross: 1-3
f2l1:1-3
f2l2-4: 12-15
OLL: 1-3
PLL:1-2

Its not to hard to get to sub 25, I was there with a 3-look last layer... but deffidently work on recog and tracking your f2l corners.

Idk full oll and here are my splits:
Cross 2s
F2L 8s
Oll 3s
Pll 2s

So, improve your cross. 7 seconds is really bad. Look at some of J Perm's and Cubehead's videos on cross.

F2L 5.2
OLL 1.3
PLL 1.6
=9.1 round what I average

Work on cross, especially the finger tricks because they can be very awkward on cross. Also try to plan out your full cross if you aren't already, as it helps out a ton. I'm currently sub-30 and spend around 3-4 seconds on cross.
