He goes to slice but the layers are misaligned so he locks up and the force of the turn makes him drop the cube.

Oh, ok, thanks. I couldn't quite visualize it in my head.

To Womack, what kind of square-1 do you use? Maybe you could try turning more accurately if the layers aren't aligned.

StackMat Or QJ timer?

I've been looking for a Timer and I have a question StackMat Or QJ timer? :confused:

its a rare brand its Guo-jia not alpha

 

[freshcuber]

Loosen it a little so it can cut through misalignments. Or wipe out some lube so it's easier to control.

Stackmat obviously, next time: search or One Answer Question Thread

 

[freshcuber]

Stackmat. QJs are trash

 

[asportking]

Next time, please use either this or this thread (I guess either one would work for this type of question) for quick questions like this.

To answer your question, Stackmats are better quality, they can hook up to a computer, but they're a little expensive. QJs are cheaper but tend to break easily. I'd recommend Stackmat, but if you really can't afford one, you could buy a QJ. Just don't expect it to last very long.

How do I speed up my H-Perm ( I am using the most common M2 U2 .etc)? Mine seems sluggish.

 

[Ickenicke]

Try to start slowly as smooth as possible, and then start do faster, faster and faster!

Uh, can someone link me to the thread talking about the new mefferts megaminx? I've searched but I can't find it. It's pretty recent, and it's talking about the new one with the pet stickers, I think they may have even gotten new screws or something.

About a week ago, I was surfing though iTunes, and I stumbled upon a documentary about cubing. I'm sure some people are familiar with it, it is called Piece by Piece. It's fairly old(around 2006), and every one of the records, even some of the terminology, was outdated. Because of this, I started thinking about having a more recent documentary out, highlighting cubing on the East Coast, and opposed to the West Coast, which is what Piece by Piece does. Now, I am a 16 year old cuber from PA, averaging about 18-19 seconds, and I hardly know anyone in the community. I've met a few people(Rowe, Macky, Bob, Dan), but I'm the only competitive cuber in my area, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go through with this documentary. I wanted some people's opinions about it before I started a thread or anything. Also, seeing as I hardly know anyone, I would also like to ask if anyone living on the East Coast would like to help me with this project. It wouldn't be much work, I would be doing most of the editing and things like that, but I need raw footage from some competitions that I won't be able to attend. Feedback for this idea is much appreciated, thank you!
