That's really true! I kinda hold the cube in a weired way and stick my tongue out and turn my head and the cube a lot without a grip change when I'm using ZZ lol
Keep trying.

LOL, the only problem with ZZ is how many end cases you have to memorize, I still haven't learned all of them. But when I use Heise, I get the F2L - 1 Corner+Edge done rather quick, then can finish up the final layer and pieces with a total of 2 algorithms. Its brillant.

Yeah, I get to the last two stes of Heise (I get all but the part with corner commutators and L5Edges) almost instantly, usually less than 20 seconds. Then, I get to that and I slow so far down. That's kinda insane
yeah, but Link, have you ever gone to the website (calcuberider.uk I believe) where ZZ is taught and notced that he has a basic gudie to solving EO? It's very easy to do it no algorithms whatsoever. I just plan it during inspection.
Keep trying.

http://cube.crider.co.uk/ Is the site, but yea, I have seen it, I learned primarily from this video series:
&index=1

I found it to be very useful. I usually slow down when making the actual EOLine, and towards the end when doing the top layer, since i find it hard to memorize too much stuff. However I am happy that I can get decent times with it. ZZ is rather hard, but worth it. As for Heise, its really simple for the last 5 Edges and corner algs are primarily commutators, making them easier to learn.

Then you should focus more on slow-solving :) I average 18-23 seconds now with CFOP.
Keep trying.

So I went sub-1 minute on a friend's Zhanchi. My new PB is 49.35 seconds. :D
I'm gonna order one as a DIY kit with zbw Z-Stickers soon (as in when my parents agree).

Nice! You have a cuber friend?
And just get a Maru CX-3 or a Moyu Weilong. FS is just a quiet Zhanchi but the first two are just amazing cubes.
Current Pb is 12.97, lucky solve, 18.53 full solve.
Keep trying.

Nice Nikitouzz. And yes I bring my cube to school and discovered that a few guys in my class are cubers. :) One of them has a Zhanchi sticker less.

:) I don't use stickerless cubes. I have had a lot of trouble with getting bad stickers that would be nice to never have to worry about.... But, I don't want to get used to a cube and not be able to use it in competition. My main will be a Moyu Weilong when it gets here, unless I find that the Cx-3 is better. Zhanchi is bottom-of-the-line nowadays for speedcubers :P
Nobody I know in person cubes.
Keep trying.

You can modify a stickerless cube to be allowed to use it in a competition

I'm in university so most of my classmates are pretty geeky. As a result I know like 5 or 6 cubers. That's only in the course I follow!
I'm not a nerd but I pretend:
