You may have even taken a course at <a href=\"https:\/\/cubing-academy.be\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cubing-academy<\/a> and learned a lot about solving a cube here. Now this takes a lot of time and patience, but &#8230; practice makes perfect. Once you know how to unravel a cube, of course you want to get faster and faster and set a better time. Then other things come into play, which is why we tell you what you really need.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-318874 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Blog-Afbeeldingen_Speedcube-essentials-300x113.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"833\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Blog-Afbeeldingen_Speedcube-essentials-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Blog-Afbeeldingen_Speedcube-essentials-768x288.png 768w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Blog-Afbeeldingen_Speedcube-essentials-600x225.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-318856 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes_Tekengebied-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes_Tekengebied-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes_Tekengebied-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes_Tekengebied-1-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes_Tekengebied-1-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes_Tekengebied-1-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes_Tekengebied-1.png 626w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 110px) 100vw, 110px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>A decent speedcube<br \/>\n<\/strong>As you may know, you have speedcubes from \u20ac4.99 and also from \u20ac150! When you start, it doesn&#8217;t matter so much and it&#8217;s mostly about solving the cube. So if you want to get faster, you could look at a magnetic speedcube. All magnetic speedcubes, for example, already pull your speedcube in the right direction and this saves time! In fact, every millisecond is 1\ud83d\ude09.

In doing so, be very careful how you use them. Use 1 drop first and give your speedcube a good whirl. Next, it is best to let your cube stand for a while so that the lubricant can soak in for a while. If after that you find that your cube is still not spinning smoothly, you can always repeat this process with another drop of lubricant.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/speedcube\/smeermiddellen\/gan-olie-nr-1-onderhoud\/\">No. 6<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/speedcube\/smeermiddellen\/gan-olie-nr-2-snelheid\/\">No. 7<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/speedcube\/smeermiddellen\/gan-olie-nr-3-meesterschap\/\">No. 8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-318857 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes-04-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"118\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes-04-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes-04-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes-04-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes-04-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes-04-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cijfers_cubes-04.png 626w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 118px) 100vw, 118px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Storage pouch or bag<br \/>\n<\/strong>Of course, this is very handy to store your speedcube and accessories and take them easily to competitions or cube sessions with friends, for example.
