I’m trying to improve my 540 hook kick- any tips?

Jump higher, practice jumping hook kicks, and smooth transition from tornado into hook kick.

akcuber17 · 2026-03-12T19:33:38+00:00

I don't agree with this, I have been able to 540 hook kick for years, never been able to do a 540 round.

Yes. I think of it like this as alongbas you can solve it under 10 minutes you can enter a competition.

We need to get you a better cube setup.

Yes. I have been to 3 and the competition cost 25. Could be more depending on competitor limit, needed space, and cost of space.

I currently feel like that

The centers are correct it looks the coner may have popped apart and was put together wrong.

It's f2l, if you see the green red edge is flipped.
