Racing to sub-20

Round 219
Average: 21.38

18.76, (17.56), 24.15, 20.00, 19.69, (26.66), 22.65, 21.45, 20.05, 23.25, 23.20, 20.57

Pretty good average but disappointed with how often I locked up the cube... I must not be very precise or my cube needs some adjustment...

What type of cube do you have?

That's just it... it's a Guhong V1. So I must be terrible or something else is wrong. Sometimes I know it's my fault because my finger gets in the way of a turn. Like occasionally, I'm trying to make a U move but my right thumb is actually on the upper layer of the front face instead of between the middle and bottom layers. But that's just an example.

Depends... I tend to be a little "locky" with that cube as well... it kinda depends on your turning style. My lockups have reduced significantly since switching to Zhanchi's and Lun Hai's.

Interesting. I don't have a Zhanchi (was going to get one as a reward for myself after getting sub-20). I do have a Lunhui if that's what you were talking about and it doesn't lock up as much for me either except I don't like the feel as much (turning feels slower) and also it's white which I think I'm not as good at with recognition. I use it as my going out cube since it doesn't pop. But for now, maybe I'll adjust the tension on my Guhong a bit and see what happens.

The Lunui is what I meant, yes. It does feel slower, but is VERY smooth. I mostly use it for blind solving since popping is a little more detrimental in that arena. I think the Zhanchi is the the best cube ever made by a significant margin, but that is personal opinion based upon my turning style.

Pretty good, on the first solve I did 3 U-perms, at first I did the wrong one, then did the one that I should have used for the previous case but because the case changed to the inverse it was the wrong one to do, then I finally did the correct one.
