I need recommendations for some PLLs

N(b)
R(a)
V
F

I like my V and F but the d's suck to do, they're so slow

 

[EricReese]

F perm do bar on left

R' U' F' then T perm then instead of the F' at the end, do U R. Its really fast

Alll I got mate, I hate my algs for those cases too

for N and R check the wiki out for what you can use
V, just drill that alg, it honestly is so fast. i used to hate it too until i really drilled it
for F, what ^ said

Mefferts pyraminx are awesome out of the box and then they become extremely loose and pop a lot

mine is extremely clicky and when I saw a video of their pyraminx popping it confused me, and mine is stiff also

what's good lube for Haiyan memory? I have d-39 on the way from lighttake though is lubix good also?

can't afford to hold out much longer

whats the UWR for a 7x7 disassembly?

how do you do the small d fast though?

I use CRC on my A-V and it works wonderfully

I admit it's not the fastest part of the algorithm but hold your hands in a way so you're ready for the d'
after the d' it's GOGOGO fast, like literally, it's so f***ing fast

was dayan guhong $ 12.79 from the first day (in lightake) or has it become more expensive recently?

What is the differene between lets say: a storebought and an Alpha. dont worry about the type (B idk im new to speed cubes) what makes an alpha faster?

Storeboughts
Slow out of the box
Not able to tension
Different Hardware
Different plastic and quality
Out of the box, it's VERY hard to take out an edge piece.
Definitely needs lube.

Alpha V:
Great out of the box.
You're able to adjust the tensions to either loose or tight.
Easier to take out an edge piece.
Doesn't need lube unless you need the extra boost.

When it really comes to defining difference, it's rather hard. So much to explain the hardware.

Thanks Pheonix Death, Im getting an Alpha for Christmas, along with a square one and another 3x3 which i forgot the name of. My storebought after 3 years of being lubed with vasoline (other with silicone spray) is moving nicely IMO. But I think the Alpha will be less work on the fingers. My 4x4 Eastsheen will be coming near Dec 1 ( my birthday) it is white colored. Do you know how well Eastsheens are for speed?

Eastsheens are pretty bad compared to the good 4x4's. They wear out quickly and go very loose but are decent until then

Just looking for your opinion, but thanks anyway.

Anyone have a scramble that has no parity for blindfold? I use yellow top orange front

< 1 second. I pretty sure I've read stories on FMCL where people drop it and it explodes.

Didn't want to make a whole new thread about this, so:

Where can I improve?
I use CFOP, intuitive F2L, 2-look OLL, and almost full PLL (I still need Gb-Gd and the N set).

1. 15.84 R2 L2 U R2 D' L2 D F2 U' B2 D2 R L' F' U L U' B2 F U B' U2

That sometimes doesn't work.

obv finish full PLL, start learning some easy cases for OLL
and as always, keep practicing to improve f2l recog and lookahead

are you CN? it looked like you are
