📈 Progress Roadmap

Exactly what to focus on at each stage. Pick your current level.

🌟 Sub-10 Seconds

Elite territory. You're sub-20. The gap to sub-10 is pure optimization and volume.

✓

Color neutrality

Learn to start from any color cross, not just white. This finds easier crosses 6x more often.

✓

Advanced F2L (all 41 algorithmic cases)

Stop solving intuitively for difficult cases. Learn the optimal solutions.

✓

ZBLL or COLL

Eliminate OLL+PLL into a single-look last layer. Massive ceiling-breaker.

✓

Competition training

Enter local WCA competitions. Competition pressure is different from home solving.

✓

Study your solves

Record and replay your solves frame by frame. Find pauses you don't notice in real time.

✓

Flagship hardware + setup

GAN 15 Maglev, tuned to your personal preference. Setup matters at this level.

✓

1000+ timed solves per week

At this level, volume is training. There are no shortcuts.
