Hello my fellow forum members, mods and admins!

I learned F2L just a few weeks ago. It's great and I use far fewer moves than with LBL, but my averages had gone to far over a minute after I learned it. I don't know why. I've practiced a LOT with it. For the past 3 weeks I've practiced my hand off and I haven't gotten much faster and am still stuck over a minute.

Practice more. It's normal for your times to go up after you learn F2L. You can look up algs for some cases if you feel like they take you too long.

Actually i was almost the same when i start using f2l because it took me too much time thinking and understanding how the cube move so you have to be patient and continue practicing
My best tip is practice solving the cube slow really slow.

Do you think I should learn some more 4LLL algs in the process or wait and keep practicing my F2L?

I've recently bought a DIY ZhanChi cube, and it's the first "proper" cube I've had since my last 3 have been Rubiks brand cubes. I love it so far and I've gotten new personal bests with it, but what I've noticed is that it pops very often, at least once every 1-2 solves, and the pops are very violent. It feels like it's exploding in my hands and at least 3-7 pieces just launches away from the cube. I've tried different tensioning settings, I've lubed it frequently and I'm working on breaking it in. Do I have to change my cubing technique, or tension it better or anything like that?

Actually the zanchi work really well tied but its necesary that the cube is lubed. I recommend lubix or dif oil. Mine have a defective screw head that cant mantain the center pice on its place, and it rearly pops like never!

practice f2l first until ur like sub ~50 then finish the 4lll and then get better on ur f2l becsuse at the end its the most important part.

Why do people keep saying "Japanese writing"? They're a Chinese company; they write in Chinese using Chinese characters. YES, Japanese uses kanji which is an adopted form of Chinese characters (hanzi) but this isn't kanji...

And no, the video quality isn't "good". It's only 360p.

Sorry I'm only 13 I haven't learned the difference. I wasn't talking about the camera quality, I was talking about the overall video quality.

When Florian modded his SS 5x5, did he do any mods to the middle centers, or middle edges?

I got to a 5-6 average with just keyhole, so I'd recommend that to begin with. Of course, pyra is a puzzle where it's best to know multiple methods, so go with both

Gen 3.

Gen 3.

My 2nd gen always does that too, I just put batteries in it recently so I don't think batteries are the problem for mine. I don't know if I can assume the same is true for yours though.

Okay, now it won't even start timing without showing 8:88.88, turning off, and resetting date & time. Batteries are definitely dead.

Before declaring the battery dead, try pushing it in slightly, last time I had a similar problem and I pushed the battery in because it was somehow slightly out of position. It worked fine afterwards.
