Dayum.. 29 average is quite good. been trying since ages to get 30 from 35.. never managed.. and hell with AO100.. man .. you got time

I still average around 40 in CFOP. That's why I switched. Finishing the solve with an M move is really cool. I am on holidays. That's why I did an AO100. Actually, I thought of doing AO500, but, My fingers were hurting like hell.

Did an AO20 this morning.
Average=28.12
Best Time=15.88 (LSE Skip and CP Skip)
Worst Time=37.42 (Messed up LSE)

Just registered on SS Forums.

Thanks.
My timings suck when I use some other stickered cubes. (Tried a FangShi and have ordered a Weilong)

BTW, I haven't been to a competition yet.

Every timer shows that too. It was just copy-paste.

EDIT:

Another AO50.

Buy that same model from here *www.ebay.in/itm/DaYan-ZhanChi-Stic...N_Toys_Games_School_Stuff&hash=item2c7f5b91c1
the seller is a fellow speedcuber from Mumbai.

Here is his shop link *www.ebay.in/sch/akshayrao27/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

His price is very reasonable reasonable. almost same as its international prices. most sellers in ebay or other sites sell at a higher price than the international price.

Quick question, which cube would you recommend for amateurs? How's this?

Quick question, which cube would you recommend for amateurs? How's this?

ShengShou is a good brand they are more popular in bigger cubes (4x4,5x5) because of the lower price point. I had their 5x5, it was quite smooth. I haven't tried their 3x3 personally.

You can go for it.

[MENTION=2132]RCuber[/MENTION]: That guy is the owner of scmustore.com and shop.scmu.in

His stores have lower prices than his eBay's store. And, I usually buy cubes and puzzles from him only.

[MENTION=34930]Zangetsu[/MENTION]: I have the very same puzzle. ZhanChi (Stickerless). It's good puzzle with better corner cutting. But, It might pop on loose tensions, sometimes. Have a look at WeiLong V2 or AoLong too.

I have heard that it is smooth cube and makes less noise. Go for it, if you want. Don't forget to checkout YJ SuLong(I have one) and YJ ChiLong. Both SuLong and ChiLong feel crunchy and are faster than an Aurora.

That's not defective. That's disassembled to show the mechanism. Don't worry. You'll get it assembled. At scmustore.com, You can get it for 685 INR.

LOL, its a DIY cube, every part in that cube can be disassembled and assembled back. The reason the second picture is shown is to make user look into the cube mechanism. Many speedcubers buy the cube disassembled. No worries dude.

 

[Zangetsu]

^^ Ok

It's the same. You can place the order online and pick it up from the store yourself.

I get sub-20 averages sometimes. Normally, I average around 22 seconds with Full CMLL. I suck at LSE. Have to improve it.

Filmed this today. Was nervous as this was the first time I had recorded my solves.
