Racing to sub-20

[Jason Green]

Round 517
Method CFOP
Cube Yuexiao

Yes! Minimum choking on the first solve. The next two did not feel that great, and they were sub 20 so it helped my nerves some. Took me until 6 to feel comfortable though.

I finally "graduated" sub-20 after what seems like years. I still don't see myself as consistently sub-20 and I might be back for the next few weeks to make sure that I can consistently achieve a sub-20 average before moving on to attempt to be sub-15.

Welcome to the race. What are your thoughts on that Valk 3? I have an itchy trigger finger ready to buy the new Gans 356 Air, and I'm considering adding the Valk 3 to my order.

Quite like it to be honest. It hasn't made too much of a difference to my times like I've seen many others do, so it's nothing special. I've only done about 200 solves on it so far, haven't decided whether it'll be my main yet though.

"Tentative" new main, Valk3. So nice to solve with but a bit too light to turn so, easy to misalign if one of my fingers decides to go all over the place. Anyway, probably the most enjoyable 3x3 I've ever used.
