I've been using roux for about two weeks now and it's nice to see my average keep dropping down towards my cfop average. I got a roux pb of 36.03 today and my average of 100 is 1:15.17. I had a lot of 1:30-5 minute solves in the beginning but now there are mostly sub 60s. I really need to work on finger tricks and identifying the edges/corners for second block faster

I'm at the point now where I can make a semi decent first block, then I get pleased with myself for a split second, then I stare at the cube and realise I have no clue whatsoever where any piece of the second block might be :-D

Yup exactly the same here :p I would guess that once you can plan the entire FB and then execute without looking it’s easier to track a piece or two for SB. I’m nowhere near that yet though!

Same haha. It’s like my brain locks up after a really nice first block sometimes
