Not a great ao12, but mostly avg. I've been practicing more and in sessions I've been seeing improvement. No incredible solves in this, usually I'll have like one 17 or faster in an ao12 but whatever. Also got a new pb of 13.88 :)

This was a very average average. The best solves were not really that fast and the slower times weren't that slow. My cross was pretty bad this average. I went into my cross/f2l panic mode for about 4/5 solves and they stuck out from the average. Next week I plan on getting a low 20 or even a sub 20. I know that I am very capable of it. With about 500+ solves this week it seems very possible. I am very thankful for my smooth sub 30 to near sub 20 transition. It has only been about 2 weeks since I was averaging around 27-28.

This round went pretty well. Only 4 solves that went over the 20.00 second mark. I think the new cube might have helped out but it was probably just a placebo effect and excitement. I didn't realize I messed up the cross on the 25 second one till I was inserting the second pair and it kind aof messed me up. <side note -ish> I've finally made it more than halfway through full PLL. I haven't had much inspiration to really focus in for the past few days though. </side note -ish>

I decided to go back to timing myself after 1 month of slow solving. Not sure I learned a lot of new F2L cases and stuff but I hope my lookahead has improved a bit.

This cube turns incredibly well. I'm sure I can perform all my PLLs 2-3 tenths faster than with any other I have. But it's also quite easy to make a mistake and spoil a solve. A huge improvement over the original GTS but if I wanted to be on the safe side I would still go back to the Valk3. Very nice average with only minor mistakes here and there.
 
Round 545

Decent average. I've been pulling down sub 18's lately, but I haven't been practicing much at all these past few weeks so I'm feeling rusty.

Sorry I didn't close this round off last Friday, I've been busy getting our pool up and ready for swimming season. I live in Winnipeg, Canada and our pool season is very short so as soon as weather permits I need to get to work to make the most of it :) Of course the temps have gone right back down again. It was a balmy 2°C this morning, up to 6°C now. That's about 35°F and 43°F respectively for you Yanks ;)

I'll try and close this round off today as it's my wife's birthday tomorrow and we're having a big BBQ so I doubt I'll have any time for cubing.

So very close! I'll update your cube when I close this round. I guess I haven't been paying close enough attention lately :/

Welcome back! I haven't bought a 3x3 since the Valk, and it's still probably my favourite. Though I do almost all my averages here at the office with my old Gans 356 (original). The Valk is just too noisy and clicky for office cubing whereas my well lubed and broken in Gans 356 is still the most silent cube I own. If only it were stickerless like every other cube at my desk :)

Great round everyone! Some really close calls here. @pearlie05, you're just one round away from graduating :)

I think I got everyone's cubes updated correctly this time. If not let me know and I'll fix it for next round.

Yay! This week went pretty well and a 12 second solve! This forum has really helped me get motivated to practice and learn new things. Maybe I'll return for CN or OH.

Nice lookahead. Could it be that full CN practice actually helped with white & yellow cross now that I abandoned it? Must start full CN practice again :p

Right after I did the last round with the Valk, I again switched to the MoJue M3 and immediately broke all my pbs... Have been using the MoJue since. I'll probably be switching back and forth between the two every now and then. No worries if you can't keep up. :)
