Hey guys I got into cubing a while ago and can get my time down to about a minute with a simple beginner method. I started learning the f2l method and have been practicing for like a month but my time using the f2l method is still like 1:30-2:00 minutes. any suggestions for getting faster with f2l? Any and all help is appreciated. ---

> [@stuarttw](#): > > had a 11.95 single with the air today. If i remember correctly that is not my record, but is pretty close. I really like the air so far. The corner design seems genius. edit; it is my record after all; yay Ayyy nice. I really like the air too, gonna try to make an air m with blue springs. Seems like that would be the best mix of speed corner cutting and stability. ---
