Do you do half turns in one beat or two beats? Anthony Hsu ----- Original Message ----- From: cmhardw To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 6:12 PM Subject: [Speed cubing group] Metronome solving
Hey everyone, I'm sure most of you remember metronome solving. Well I recently rediscovered it and have been practicing a little bit with it, and I think I am going to include this into my regular practice routine. Basically you go to http://www.metronomeonline.com/ and set it to a tempo. Then you solve F2L (F2B, 2x2x2, etc..) doing one move on each click. You can't go faster or slower, and you cannot pause and miss a beat. I've found that I can do 184 smoothly with no delays maybe 1/10 and I miss one or two beats between the cross and the first pair, but do the rest cleanly, maybe half the time. Anyway the reason I posted this is that I realized that I rush waaaaaaay too much during the F2L, which causes lockups and such. Anyway I just set a 15 second average (not common for me, but also not that uncommon) of 15.89 seconds. I tried using my pace from doing F2L at 184 rather than my usual pace, and had some very nice flowing F2Ls during the average. Try giving it a shot (for the first time, or again). I think it helped me to find a better pace for my F2L. I thought I had F2L fairly well figured out, but I guess a little more work is always a good thing ;-) If you try it let me know what you think. I know this is a repeat from a while ago, but I think I have personally neglected the usefulness of this training technique. Chris [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
