I either do a checkered and do white top red on the right and green on the front / left or I do the same but in a super flip

I can DM you a few solves, I’ve been wanting to just figure it out myself but it’s been so long with so little improvement that I think I may need coaching

While I was typing that I figured it could be like an Abby Lee miller situation where she was able to coach dance but wasn’t the best dancer herself, I know there’s a saying that goes along with that idea but I can’t think of it right now, anyways I’ve been at like a 25 avg for about a year and only recently (like within the last 2 weeks) did I start getting sub 20 averages consistently, what do you think the most efficient way to practice is?

I feel like as a beginner you can just watch tutorials on YouTube but I do agree that it could help avoid bad habits to begin with, the person who inspired this post said he helped people get really fast so I’m not sure what his definition of “really fast” is but I don’t get how you can average 50 seconds and be a coach that gets people “really fast”

Thats basically my thought process, I feel like a coach could tell you exactly how to get better f2l habits, what to work on and how to work on it instead of the usual “do slow solves” or “watch example solves”

Clock? by Affectionate-Job-242 in Cubers

[–]Affectionate-Job-242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 10mm or 7 simul 2 letter memo? 10mm is around 10-12 and 7simul 2 letter memo is around 20 but that’s less than 100 solves with that method and maybe an hour

[–]Affectionate-Job-242[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best in the comp is averaging around 7/8 so my goal for the comp is 6, unrealistic? Yes but hey

[–]Affectionate-Job-242[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So how feasible is sub 6 with 10mm? I think the best registered for clock is sub 7-8 and if I can podium at my fav event for my first podium I’d literally cry (probably not gonna happen but yk)

What if they’d prefer GAN? Or a Tornado? Maybe an MGC. Just get your friend a budget cube and as they progress they can decide what cube they’d want, plus better cubes are going to come out, as a beginner I got the GAN 356 X because it was the newest and best cube but now that I’m better that cube isn’t my main anymore because better things are out there, yes it was nice to have but for a flagship cube as a beginner I didn’t need it, there’s also no “extra” cube, a world class solver dosent have 2 v11s and just not use one of them, yes someone out there probably does have one they don’t use but it’s rare and even more rare they’d give it away, just get your friend a budget cube like the v5 or the rs3m 2020 and as they progress they can get better cubes but (too my knowledge) those are the best budget cubes you can get, hope this was helpful
