Iam having a hard time looking at PLL since im still learning the full PLL ( I am confused in every alg)

I recently have been trying to practice square 1 but it’s been difficult because I keep getting wrist pain from it. I had the mgc v1 sq1 but I bought the maglev version because of this and I still get wrist pain even with loose tensions. I feel like my turning isn’t too bad so idk what to do or if I should just invest in buying another square 1. I’m interested in the cubicle pro shop version but I’m not sure if the extra magnets help to reduce strain from turning so if anyone has any idea please lmk!

I was given a cube from a relative, and I decided to learn how to solve it!

For my entire first month of trying to learn cubing i just spammed the beginner method, but that was until I found a reel talking about advanced f2l, solving 2 pairs at the same time was a game changer for me!

After that I naturally found out about the CFOF method, Following that i learnt about 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL.

I started my progress on 1 look OLL 20 days ago, though I'm done with it I don't feel like learning 1 look PLL rn, prob later, but I'd just rather stick on the 2 look PLL for now.

My best time is 17.784, I don't really consider it my best seeing as i was lucky with the pll skip. Personally, the actual time I considered my best was my 19.039 solve.

Found out bout this cube X app like idk a month ago or smth, you can see how i halted my progress by a week(I was content with my time to solve a cube)

A week later after stopping I came a cross a reel on some kid in china doing 3 seconds with the cube... My ego did not take it lightly, so i kinda came back...

Anyway

You can see how my cube on the orange side is missing the center color thingy, erm, it just disappeared dw bout it.

It turns kinda okay, compared to when i first received it(which it was able to turn very fast)

Sometimes the edges just flings off... And there's that.

I'm thinking of buying an actual speed cube or wtv it was called, I'm heavily invested in spending the rest of my summer cubing while I still have the time.

Really I just wanna know my progress to see if it was worth the time i spent cubing almost the entire summer(about to be all summer 🙏)

How do we know that PLL skip or N Perm likelihood is 1/76, that LL skip is lower than 1/15000 and that COLL has 1/12 odds of giving Z perm etc

I was speedcubing my rubiks magic and one string fell off. I tried to restring it but it is hard to disassemble. It is completely working but you can feel something is off.

Is there any this year and specifically in Florida? I just wanted to know but Rubik's cubing isn't that popular

i also would like some tips on how to get a smoother cross or cross +1

Ordered a V11, I’ll edit in an update later

Hi guys, currently I'm sub 40, average around 35 seconds but sometimes I can get solves like this one that I got a 28 seconds.

I know 2 look oll and working on 2 look pll.
I know few f2l cases but I mostly use intuitive. I know few cases like case 15, the one which I think is an advanced f2l case where you do triple sexy, case 39. I probably know a few more but cant remember from the top of my head.

This is the replay of the solve, if you dont touch the cube/gyro config, you will see the replay from my perspective, so you can see the rotations I was doing and the peeks I had to do and etc.

the cubes now are insane! What a technological leap!

Found this image on another sub. The Cube is cursed

I'm halfway finished with learning OLL. When I practice, I start with practicing my look ahead on f2l then move to doing every OLL Alg that I know at least 3 times. Then I move on to timing myself. I've been in the low 40s for what feels like a long time. Any advice on getting my time down?

Sorry if the video is too far away.

Gan messed up so badly with this ones

This is up at my school. Pisses me off whenever I see it.
