You mean a new thread? You just posted something but making a new thread is easy. You can go to the section you want to (ex. Hardware Area) and on the left hand side, you can see a button that says "New Thread". You click that and your set to type! I hope this helped

They're all important, but getting good at F2L will give you the most improvement on your times. If you dont already know these you should learn intuitive F2L 2-look OLL and 2-look PLL

 

[aggelaras1997]

thank you a lot !!!!!!!!

 

[aggelaras1997]

where can i find something good about f2l oll pll
because i know only beginners mehtod and i did not know where i can find a good page to continue

Some googling or searching the forum will give you loads of other tutorials too. BadM's tutorails are excellent>

Why dont you try 2LOLL (2-Look OLL), a lot less algorithms needed for it.

Here is a link. http://cubefreak.weebly.com/2-look-oll.html

This wont slow you down as much as you think, can still get good times with it, and these OLL cases can be used in full OLL if you want to progress from this at a later stage, hope this helps.

More specifically, it is VERY possible to get sub-20 with 2 look OLL. No need to learn all 50ish algs until then, because it only cuts a couple of seconds at best. Learn 2 look OLL but learn 1 look PLL, it's only 20 something algs. Then, just practice until sub-20.

besides, OLL is 57..

Popbuying is cheap but slow shipping.

DIYs

I'm a relatively newer speedcuber, and I have a C DIY. Hopefully. I ordered it off Ebay from HongKong, and it came in a bag. Is there a way to tell DIY types apart? I can't find anything really.

This may help. If not, providing pictures would help us quite a bit.

I can usually tell by the shape and size of the pieces, the stickers, and the center caps.

 

[RyoSanada]

Thank you! It is a regular type C, so I'm happy.

A great book to teach speed solving is Speedsolving The Cube by Dan Harris. He teaches cube notation, CFOP system, and Corner Orient Last Layer. He goes in depth about how and why certain algorithms work and how to use your own intuition and figure stuff out on your own

Haha, I bought that book a few months ago. I find some of the algs are pretty "terrible" or outdated. It's a good book though.
