Any suggestions to speeding up rubik cube solving times?

Question

I can solve the cube in about 1 minute 30 seconds, but I really want to speed that up. Any suggestions?

By the way, I use a layer method.

Thank you!

Hey there!

I would suggest you to improve your time to 1 min by working on finger tricks.

( Part 2 is just lubrication )

Another thing that you need to practice is the OLL's and the PLL's.

You can try to memorizze all 57 cases of OLL and all 21 cases of PLL.

If you can memorize the most common ones while you're solving the cube then that should help you to improve your time.

After you finish training yourself, then go ahead and trid to learn the " Fridrich Method", this method is used by most of the speedcubers.

Or you can learn the Petrus method, roux method, waterman method, and so on.

Good Luck and hope this helps!
