Yeah, I agree with you mike, CMLL isn't everything. I broke the 25avg barrier by just optimising how I did my F2B. Now I'm after sub-20 :) I find that CMLL sometimes slows me down, as I know 60% of it, but I'm not 'fluent' with every case I know yet.
I think the F2B is the most important part, then comes LSEC and then CMLL :) Well, that in ordedr of how much I think I could improve each bit :) Thanks, Thom. --- In [email protected], "Mike Bennett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "kovacic81" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hello > > > > Although it isn't a staggering figure, it is my first sub 25 avg with > > ROUX. > > > > (19.97), 24.64, 20.55, 22.49, 24.03, (31.84), 28.37, 25.84, 24.72, > > 25.87, 25.92, 26.79 AVG 24.92 > > > > I still use a 2 step process for Corners.
