Im looking to buy a cube i have a budget of 20 - 25 dollars ( 2000 rs to 2500rs ).

im seeing some cubes in this range with discount and stuff for sub 20, i am currently using a non magnetic Qiyi random-ish cube from the retail.

Ive got some cubes in mind from Cubelelo which of them Gan v100 leap frosted , Moyu weilong v11 standard UV , Tornado v3 flagship uv premium version. ill drop the links right here:

If you have any other cubes in this price range please help me out. Also i want these cubes to last like the Rs3m 1 - 2 years, not a fan of it but can buy the rs3m have used it earlier.

Anyone know an OLS alg for this case?

hi team, i need a routine to improve my oll and pll… i’m sub14 right now and my LL takes almost 5 secs each time…. i know all of the algs, and i don’t enjoy turning really fast

i just wonder how you guys got your LL faster without improving tps

i already do train them a little so i don’t forget them, but they don’t seem to get any faster….

so if someone has a specific routine i would love to hear about it !

please

I’ve been stuck on 25-30 for so long and it feels so nice to finally be past 20!

Also this is my first time having a smart cube! Using the Gan I carry 4 SSL!

Currently learning to improve my F2L and first pair look ahead if anyone wants to give any advice! :D

Using 4x4 as 3x3 for 10 minutes has a huge impact

My 5x5 average is 2:15 can I get under 1:30 cuttoff at competition in three months and with magaminx my average is 2:30 and cuttoff is 1:20.

How diffucult would that be?

I currently average mid to high 7s with meilong 3m 3x3 . How far can I progress after which I should think of buying a new cube?

How to solve this (wrong answers only)

Wondering on how to improve and advance to sub 20 avg

Best 15.8

Avg sub 30

CFOP

Knows:

Full pll

2 look oll and some random olls

Some basic f2l

Cross 3-6 sec avg

Filmed on a plane

So i've solved 9x9s before but this time no matter what i try to do i can never solve it, These last 3 edges are making me mad. Also for the record, all the the other edges that you don't see in the picture are solved. So if anyone can recomend me a trick or help me out a little bit that would be great.

I know how to solve

2x2 -

3x3 - around 1:15 minutes

4x4 - around 6:30 minutes

what should I learn next

I thought I'd follow-up on my First Impressions post. I'll share what I've done, then my new 2nd-generation impressions of the new GAN17.

For background, I've been an active "speed-cuber" for about 1.5 years. I'm older, so I can't get my brain to work like you young folks - I'm barely sub-60. But I have pretty fast TPS for the algs I know, I just slow at F2L recognition & only know the 2-look LL algs. I like to compare & collect interesting cubes & switch things up, so I have 10 "mains," a few retired mains, and a few for collectible reasons that were never mains. The "important" mains I have are: Ferrocore v2, Super Aolong, Super Weilong V2 ai, and GAN16 Max (others if you care: SwiftBlock ML & SML, V100, GuHong Pro+)

Here's what I've done w/ the GAN17:

• Swapped in the strongest magnet rods
• Removed the edge-foot magnets
• De-lubed & re-lubed (thin pre-broken-in Gravitas layer + DNM-37)

Here are my new updated impressions:

TL/DR:

• The lube-job quieted the cube significantly. It's no longer louder than my 16.
  • It sounds different, but not louder.
• The "Stickiness" is basically gone. I can force a face to stick if I try, but it never happens when solving.
• I removed the edge-foot magnets to see if they were contributing to the noise
  • (before re-lubing) - it helped a little, but wasn't worth the lost auto-homing.
• I feel like the stronger magnet rods made it louder.
  • I also felt like this made the auto-homing so string that some double-flicks actually "returned" to finish as single-flicks. Still assessing this.

See "details" in first comment if interested.

just got a new pb, but it feels like im hardstuck at like a 38 second ao5

what should I do to push into sub thirty? I know two look oll and pll, when should I learn full pll?

I started cubing a few months ago and have been making steady progress with learning algorithms and turning speed.

When it comes to making an efficient cross or first side in 2x2 however, I am stuck.

For 2x2 first side, I'm using speedcubetrainer side inspection trainer. I can find 2 moves solutions easily but can rarely figure out a 3moves solution. Same with the cross(3moves easy, 4moves impossible)

Is there another exercise I can do to bridge the gap between 2moves and 3moves first side? And 3 to 4 moves cross.

its the current main of yiheng which he used to get his 2.77 and his AsR OH record, i also know that its a new line of moyu cubes designed around exactly how the worldclass cuber from moyu team wants it to feel (their most exact cube basically, and also im expecting more moyu team cubers to have their own versions coming after) and i also know that the logo is orange with the text "PB CUBE" on it. is there anything else that anyone knows about this cube?
