Did this half asleep so the first solve I thought I got a PLL skip so I reached for the space bar but it was a J-perm.

Could've been a sub-20 solve.

YES!!!!! New PB Ao5=17.82 and Ao12=19.52!!!!! First two solves could have been smoother and probably a second faster on each. Got a bit too excited about my times near the end so last two solves were worse from the nerves.

PB ao12 wooo! I felt fast this session. Look ahead was ok but speed and recognition were my strong points this time around. grrr at the 30+ solve!!

I struggle with cross solving during inspection and the execution and transition between cross and first pair. I feel like I haven't been seeing much improvement in that area in a long time. any tips? I've heard blindfolding yourself while practicing cross can help. Has anyone tried this with success?

Standard average for me again. Yay sub 20 full step though. Need to improve my lookahead!

During inspection memorise as much of the cross as you can, then execute your cross slowly looking ahead for the first pair.

My cross to F2L transition is still quite dodgy..

EDIT: I can BLD my cross quite easily most of the time... but personally hasn't helped me a lot... dunno maybe I'm weird..lol
