I did an Ao100 with two hand and my best time was 18.XX. I was pretty happy with the until you started to show off OH singles better than that LOL BTW, I have been practicing using ring finger for R' and R moves in OH as you suggested. And I have improved a bit.

That's great about R' moves. Hope you make great improvement in OH. I still can't find a cube I especially like for OH. 55mm Zhanchi is still my best so far. Fangshi is ok too but in the end I figure I like smaller cubes instead of 57mm size. But my 55mm Zhanchi is a little gummy or something in a way I don't really like. Maybe I ought to loosen it some more or clean it out or something and see if that makes it better...

Get a 54.6mm shuangren

Just a suggestion, do not clean out your oh cube, the immediate speed boost will be tough to handle + overshooting will increase. Try loosening it a bit though, loose + gummy is the best combination for an oh cube imo. I'm still stuck with a 57mm Zhanchi :/

Round: 3
Race to: sub-40/30
Times: 44.85, 44.33, 52.98, 33.64, 39.88, DNF(46.39), 38.88, 38.64, 44.91+, 36.26, 51.79, 58.57
Average of 12: 45.11

Not great. On the 52.98, I failed phasing and messed up OCLL and got the Sune PCO. For the 44.91+ I had the Sune PCO again but forgot AUF was U2 and the 36.26 was also Sune PCO.

Immediate speed boost is ok. I know it happens when I put in some maru lube but I can adjust to it after a bit. But thanks for the advice. I will try loosening it first because that's easier to do. And yeah, I know I want a 54.6mm Shuangren. I'm trying to hold out buying new cubes for now though. And even if I were to order that cube, I'm not sure how I would like the black on white look and whether or not that would affect my solving time at all. Looks cool though...

Only the illusion cubes are black on white, even normal ones are available on fasttech for relatively cheap prices (sub-10 $)

Would have been a great average for me if it wasn't for 2 major finger farts! Completely screwed up my finger tricks both times and couldn't recover. :rolleyes:

Hi.

Round: 3
Race: Sub-30 (3x3 CFOP)
Average of 12: 49.44s

48.27,49.53,51.02,53.02,(39.42),42.39,48.96,48.51,(1:03.63),55.66,45.07, 51.93

I guess sub50 is a start

Plan is to lean some more F2L tricks, and perhaps start to do the 'go-slow and look ahead'. Pauses are my biggest killer, especially in the F2L stage.

41.78, 34.37, (49.60), 35.87, 39.20, 38.31, 35.25, 38.73, 40.98, (31.08), 34.54, 40.57

I have to re-learn full PLL OH because I obviously fail at remembering them when I don't have both hands. Oh well. PB average still.
