📈 Progress Roadmap

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

⚡ Sub-30 Seconds

You're consistently sub-60. Now it's time for CFOP and serious practice.

✓

Switch to CFOP and learn Intuitive F2L

Stop doing the beginners method for middle layer. Learn to pair corners and edges by sight.

✓

Learn 2-Look OLL (9 algorithms)

Sune, Anti-Sune, and 7 edge orientation cases eliminate most OLL pauses.

✓

Learn 2-Look PLL (6 algorithms)

T, Y, Ua, Ub, H, Z perms. Practice until finger-tip recall.

✓

Time your cross

Cross should be under 8 moves and planned during inspection. Aim for sub-3 second cross.

✓

Track your splits

Use a timer that shows cross/F2L/OLL/PLL splits. Find your biggest bottleneck.

✓

Hardware upgrade

Consider GAN 14 Maglev or MoYu RS3M 2023 if you haven't already.
