This is super cool! It's such a simple alteration to flip that I can add in with very little practice, and it will actually drop a couple of seconds off my average once I'm used to it. The potential this has compared to the effort is amazing. This is actually that "one weird trick to make you faster" that's real! thx for posting
@@gabriellemorasse694 update: I've been gravitating away from this method because I cant seem to take advantage of scrambles that would be easy with the normal method; for example, when two adjacent edge clocks are at the same hour. I cant figure out how to preserve cases like these with this method, any tips?
@@OxzowachiAlt The best option is usually to slightly modify the pin order (I recently added a second pdf in the description that could be useful for this). I would suggest putting both edges bottom left or bottom right either at the back after the x2 flip or on the front face. Back bottom-left: same pin order just skipping a step as shown in the lucky cases of the video Back bottom-right: steps 5-7-8 in the first pdf become those for left-handed people (second pdf in the description) Front bottom-left: steps 2 and 3 become the ones for left-handed people Front bottom-right: after step 2, put both right pins out instead of just upper right and then follow steps 5-7-8 for left-handed I hope this is somewhat helpful...
Tysm im tryna get good at clock in two months before a comp and this will be my backup if I can’t get good at shirin and 7 simul bc it is too hard for my 10 yr old brain
My pin order for solving cross on the first side is U to L, then match C to both of them using DR dial. Then match those 3 to R, then to D, and then all to 12. How would OP work here? OP seems like an amazing method which i would like to use in my solves
absolute genius, as a new clock solver who doesn't really practise yet average sub 15, i see tons of potential this method has, so much simpler than 7 simul, yet so convenient. i always wanted to be fast at clock without 7 simul, and op will def help me! edit: i prefer to hold 12o clock on the left, while doing step 1 with top left and top right gears, due to me having a shengshou clock and cant do pinky, its the same, but hopefully i will get the qiyi soon and can do pinky
Thanks for learning OP, I hope it is going to be worth it! Getting a QiYi clock is definitely another way to become faster without practicing... Good luck on your ''speedclocking'' journey! 😉
@@gabriellemorasse694 Lent to acquaintances? That's so cool😊. Btw I don't know anything about clock😁. Cause I haven't tried one. But it looks like you have almost all the puzzles on the shelf well polished. Why don't you just make a video with other cubes also! Do you practice only clock? What's your 3x3 avg? ...... And what's that ( 0:05 ) fancy sign mean?
@@hiddencuber2250 Thank you for the video idea! If only I had something interesting to say about all those puzzles... 😅I am clearly not the most dedicated cuber out there, but I like to practice 7x7, 3bld and clock every now and then.😊What about you?
@@gabriellemorasse694 Thanks for your reply too 😊.Well, am not a dedicated cuber also. It all started in a curiosity. Am just keeping 3x3 as a hobby. And I'm really interested in 3bld, but i realised there are a lot of commutators to learn.. so i just slowed down. What's your 3bld avg?
Oof, never heard of this and i should've started doing this sooner. So far with this method, Im not even sub 10 yet but i hope ill improve soon for my next comp
@@gabriellemorasse694 It definitely worked! Glad to let you know that with barely practicing clock I got a 7.38 average and 6.48 single officially which is good for me! I would've never gotten those times if I didn't see this tutorial. Thank you. I will probably switch to 7 simul now though.
One question: If I will learn your method, will I be able to achieve sub 6 averages? I do about 300-400 solves per day (for clock only) and I average about 7 seconds. So, once again, will I improve if use your method? I hope you reply.
Are you currently using standard flip? For your practice volume, I do believe it could take you a week to get used to the method and get the same global average (I know someone who was averaging around 6.0 with standard flip who started getting averages sub 5.7 after only two days trying the method...). Then, to give you an idea of what your progress could look like based on mine, at the end of this summer I decided to practice for a month doing 100 solves per day and I went from averaging 6.0 to 5.5 and it took me three additionnal months with 40-50 solves per day to reach 5.0 global. Note that taking full advantage of lucky cases (third pdf in the description) is probably required to reach sub 6 though (you are going to have to practice pin order modifications by solving a scramble with a particular lucky case over and over until you get times close to your average for example). I hope this is helpful! 😊
@@gabriellemorasse694 Yeah, I'm using flip. I learned some lucky cases but I never found a pdf or something with all of them, so I'll check yours. And yes, this was super helpful, thanks A LOT (If I average sub 6 I will be NR holder😀)
UPDATE: Hi! It's me again😅 I have mained clock for a copule of months now, and all of my hard work has finally paid off. I average mid 5 and also I am national champion this year. I still use standard flip with a lot of tricks and I can flip in a variety of ways now. I try to improve my solutions for them to be more efficient. I sometimes fail comps, but honestly it's ok and in August I have another national championship in my country and I hope I win...
Since I learned clock notation only 4 years after I started solving the puzzle, I am probably not qualified to answer that question... Although I remember that it took me a lot more time to scramble the puzzle than solving it when I first started following scrambles. If you feel like it takes you too much time to the point where your practice sessions become unpleasant or frustrating, hand-scrambles are perfectly fine when you start so that you spend more time solving than scrambling, but eventually following scrambles pays off since it gives you the opportunity to practice your accuracy. I hope this helps! 😊
Thanks! One more thing, how do I improve? I used the normal beginners method and average about 27, but when I switched to your op method, I now average 11. But how do I break thru the sub 10 barrier?
My pr average is 10.06 and ive been trying to get into sub 10 for the past two comps and failed. I have a comp with clock in 3 weeks so I will practice this and hopefully get to single digit territory.
Hello, im your 200th Liked person to like this video and I have watched your tutorial and you actually helped me beat my cutoff time of 30 seconds in Clock. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Simultaneous turns can be tricky at first (when I invented the method, I was not able to rotate two gears at the same time). But if you start doing slow solves focusing on the first step, I believe you can get comfortable after maybe 100-200 solves for 1-2-3 hour rotations and 300-400 solves to master 4-5-6 hour rotations (I try to avoid these at the back (index finger) as much as possible if they are clockwise (anticlockwise if you follow the steps for left-handed people)). Thanks for showing interest in this method! 😊
Thanx! This method is really easy to learn and improves my times quite a lot. I started learning this method 2 days ago and already I improved 3.12 sec Ao5. PB is now 12.49 sec. I'm only doing clock 1,5 months now. 🎉
I wonder if theres a way to incorporate the first inspected move into 10mm- or at the very least add in the idea of the final \ move. Could be a lot of intermediate potential for a 9 move simul method with flip that only needs one move to be "memorized."
Since I have never heard about 10mm before, I don't have enough knowledge to fully answer your question, but of course, adding simultaneous moves will make it more efficient. 🙃 You could execute the first two moves of this method on the front side, then match the remaining edges together and make the latter point to twelve and flip with one move left on the first side that could be done simultaneously when matching the last corner on the second face for example. From my standpoint, adding simultaneous moves could be a disadvantage when it comes to lucky cases and makes solving clock less creative/even more repetitive than it already is, but this is a great idea if you want to reduce your move count while still limiting the amount of information to memorize in inspection! 😊
@@gabriellemorasse694 10 move memoless is really cool. You solve cross plus one corner before you flip, but you don't align them. Then, on the other side, you can use simul moves as long as they don't break the progress you made on the back- so they're used to solve the rest of the corners as you build and align the second cross. I've been trying this hybrid method out, I'm calling it the foxgirl flip, and it seems to have some real potential!
Thank you! Congrats on your very impressive results for a first-timer in Winchester! Are you planning to add clock to your WCA profile? 😉 I hope we will have the opportunity to see each other again somewhere in New England! 👋
Thank you for asking, I already thought about making a video on lucky cases, but I wasn't too sure if it was going to be useful. Unfortunately, I currently don't have enough time to work on it, but I might be able to do so by June 2024... 😬 In the meantime, my best advice is to learn both standard and left-handed pin order (pdfs in the description) and decide for steps 2-3-5-7-8 which pin order makes you take full advantage of the lucky case(s) for a particular scramble (you can switch from right-handed to left handed pin order many times in a solve). I have a detailed example for two adjacent edge clocks at the same hour under Oxzowachi Alt's comment in the comment section of this video. I hope this is helpful...🙃
@@lscuber854 I just added a pdf in the description with my pin order and positioning for most common lucky cases + some combinations just for you...😉Learning all those cases will require more practice time to become comfortable with pin order modifications (you can solve the same scramble with a particular lucky case and positioning over and over again until you get times close to your global average), but if you want to become sub 6 and beyond, I believe it is worth it; I hope this is helpful! ☺

When u r starting out in clock, is it normal to be bad at scrambling it or is it just me?
