if you feel like it'll help then why not?

i changed some of mine because i didn't want to do cube rotations, and some of the ones i initially learned i only did because i was lazy and only wanted to do 2-gens, but the ones i use now, i'm much more comfortable with and can fingertrick well so it worked out well, and even now i might still change some of them, maybe

Best F2l Tutorial?

Hey Guys,
I want to know what tutorial you learned your F2l from?
I average around 55 sec on the beginner method and want to learn Fridrich.
In your opinion what is the Best F2l tutorial out there?
Thanks

I watched bad mephistos but I would say Ridos was better as a beginner since there are no algs.

BadMephisto and/or Rido's hunting story are good places to start.

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, there was sand in DIY ZhanChi, so I cleaned all the pieces including the center pieces with water and washing liquid. So far so good, but I still feel some sort of scratchy feeling that didn't occur before. I think some of the sand has gotten in to the core. What do I need to do?

Thanks in advance!

Would it be better or worse if i put lubix into the actual cube of the core where the screws go?

It shouldn't make a difference since it doesn't magically unscrew itself (hopefully)

Unscrew each screw, wash the core, dry the core, and reassemble.

If you didn't lube it then it's probably the springs

You might be able to find one on eBay for pretty cheap.

Don't get one from ebay. You could get ripped off by getting one says that it has the data port but it really dosen't.
