Answer 1

Something a lot of people aren’t mentioning but which is extremely important, is that speedcubers don’t use Rubik’s brand cubes – those are extremely slow, hard to turn, and difficult to solve quickly.

Instead they use “””third-party””” cubes, which are *enormously* higher quality and allow for extraordinarily faster turning.

This, in combination with all of the explanations of inspection, look-ahead, and solving methods that plenty of other knowledgeable people have shared throughout the thread, are key to solving a cube in a few seconds.
