@The Duke of Cubes Thank you so much for making this video! I got my first clock 4 days before my first competition. I was nervous about competing in clock because of how little time I had to practice. After lots of practice and multiple times watching this video, I was able to bring my average down from 1:22.00 (My first solve) to an 11.97, wich I got at the competition. because of your video, I was able to improve an incredible 70.03 seconds. Thanks so much!
@@TheDukeofCubes Hey man! Just thought I'd give you an update since this comment that is now 7 months old! I now average sub-6! I have a comp in a couple weeks, so I'm hoping to get a sub 6.5 average there!
This is a great tutorial. I just learnt Clock about 10 days ago. I took 25 minutes the first time, then down to a few minutes once I had a method. Then 30s once I practised a bit. Now with your tips in just a few days I'm averaging around 17 seconds and keep improving!
@@TheDukeofCubes Thanks for the encouragement! It works so well having a standardised pin order and you explained the method and shortcuts so clearly. I've already started to gradually get smoother and improve look ahead.
Pretty underrated video, just got a clock and i know the principants method, im oretty sure that this video can help a lot of people, keep up the great work
I just made this pin order is it any good? DR (solves top and middle) UR (solves the top right corner) UL (solves the top half) UL+UR (matches all of them) UL+UR+DR (to finish the cross) and I flip it horizontally
Hey, I'm wondering how to get faster at the clock. I recently received it a week ago, and am hoping to to get sub 10 in 2 weeks. Do you recommend anything? I'm learning no flip right now, and I'm struggling, but I understand the gist of it. Any tips? Thank you.
Hey, I found once you have the general concepts down then a lot just comes from practice. Especially your look ahead and knowing a good starting point etc. I’ve never looked at no flip and it looks a little too complex for me. You can comfortably get sub 10 with a normal method though.
I average 11 seconds, the notion that you should always use the same pin order is ridiculous. Adapting to scrambles where a more optimal solution is available is how you get faster. If there’s nothing special, then yes, I have a default pin order that I go to. But practicing situations where the fastest solution isn’t the default solution inherently avoids the pauses you describe by going in a different order.
I actually ended up averaging around 8 seconds with this method. I’m not sure if you listened properly or watched the full video, but it describes how to get pin/dial skips by using different sides, orientation and rotation starting points along with knowing the first move after the flip. Keeping the same pin order means one less thing to mix up as this becomes completely natural like a reflex rather than trying to change the order each solve.
@@TheDukeofCubes If you use inspection to plan your order though, there’s no reason it wouldn’t be just as fast. Didn’t know you were 8 seconds, video and description both say 12.57
@@EthanCowlbeck technically the same yes. But say you had 2 dials matching, and it would change your pin order to get the skip etc. The way I do it is alter the clock starting position so those dials are rotated to my default starting position so my pin order stays the same but I still get the best starting point without worrying about a new pin order. I’ll instead just remember which way ‘12 o clock’ point as to have the arrow aligned correctly.
@@TheDukeofCubes I agree, being able to solve from any angle is important. Look at the example at 2:58. I would solve that with noon pointing up, DR, UL UR, and with 2 moves you’re already flipped onto the next side. Your method accounts for the first skip, but not ones that follow
@@EthanCowlbeck your DR start is exactly the same as my UR start with the rotation, so in reality that makes no difference as they are the same move except I haven’t had to thing about my ‘different’ pin order as I’ve adjusted the starting position to account for the skip rather than adjust my pin order.
@Chris Thames yea I’ve got the tags set as best I can. Starting with the core file name, details and tags before I even upload it. Then the tag section under TH-cam after you upload it etc. It’s not to bad to find now. But sometimes when I search is also has other irrelevant vids in the list due to their tags and having 100k views etc.

@@TheDukeofCubes Just found this video again and now I have a 3.91 official single and I am 49th in the world!
@@JudeStradtnerdo you still use the same method? If not, when did you switch to something more advanced

That’s awesome! I’ve had average of 100 in 8.xx seconds when I was practicing a while using this same way still! I hope you keep improving! 😀

Thanks for the video, I got my first sub 20 solve after only having my Clock for 4 days, I'm sure these tips will help me consistently hit that mark
Thanks I hope so to!
Very nice! Clearly explained with examples, clean editing. Very good tutorial overall. I just need to find the time to practise.
Thank you! Hope you manage to find some time...eventually 😂👍
@@TheDukeofCubes hi
@@l1ght7ear2020_yt hi
Man thanks a lot man.
We all cubers needs a tutorial videos from a guy like you
Thank you! Nice to hear that!
Thanks for this video just got my clock and i love it. I want to get at least a sup 10 before my frist comp in February
That’s awesome! Fingers crossed you manage it! 😀
Thank you so much for your tutorials! They are very useful and helpful!
Thank you 😊 glad it helped and thank you for the comment!
I won't say it's a method, but really helpful tips for getting faster at clock
Yes looking back I could have worked it better. But I am glad you found the tips helpful.
Finally the only puzzle I can speedsolve🤣
Yay! 😃 this is probably my fastest event in comparison to the others!
Omg second time a youtuber replied
To my comment
@@TheDukeofCubes bro just want to ask that if we practice and give it time can we solve it in about 5 sec a single solve
Pretty underrated video, just got a clock and i know the principants method, im oretty sure that this video can help a lot of people, keep up the great work
Thank you! Hopefully it can help you get some good times! 👍
wtf ur a cubeberbrbbr
@@rubberbandcity Yes
great tutorial!
Thank you! Hope it helps you improve!
thank you! this helps a lot
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
thx for this video
I just made this pin order is it any good? DR (solves top and middle) UR (solves the top right corner) UL (solves the top half) UL+UR (matches all of them) UL+UR+DR (to finish the cross) and I flip it horizontally
So close to a thousand subs
Pretty close! 😀

After talking on FB post found this video will try these tips tomorrow 👍
thnx
No problem!
Woah hey man its NECUBES from insts i didnt know u had a youtube channel but nice vid
Yea I seen the name pop up! Nice 👍 how did you find the vid btw? Curious as I took my YT link off Instagram and just left the website.
@@TheDukeofCubes I was just looking up clock reviews and stuff and found this
@@purefootball_360 nice. At least I now know it shows up on TH-cam without a link 😂 hope it made sense!
hey man I got sub 21 secs now guy
Awesome that’s great!!
Published
Published? Not sure what you mean.

Wow, thankyou, within 3 weeks i became almost sub 7, averaging about 7.3
Wow that’s great!! So glad it helped you!
@@TheDukeofCubes yeah, you made it really clear, and helped me set some really good habits, thankyou.
I went from averaging 40 seconds to 5 seconds with this video with 10 months of practice
I've just started learning clock and this tutorial is the best so far, thank you for making it, it helped me improve a lot!
That’s great! Glad you found it helpful! 😊
i have a comp in literally less than a week thank you
Nice! In how this helps! Let me know how you do!

Why is this video titled as "Published" and it still comes under "rubik's clock" search result.
I'm not sure what you mean? Doesn't published just mean its been made public?
@@TheDukeofCubes I think he means that the title of the video is just published.
@@CraterCuber hmmm. Is that the same for you to?
Yeah. You have to edit the title in studio.youtube.com
@@CraterCuber it shows completely normal on my phone, laptop and in studio. Hmm pretty confusing.
