I'm 39 and right there with you, although I can't seem to get under 80 seconds for a solve yet. I've been cubing for a couple of months and have got the 2 look pll and oll down nearly now, just a couple of algorithms I'm struggling to remember. Love doing the last layer though, it's like magic.
I'm at a point now where I'm solving faster than I was (it was around the 3 minute mark a couple of weeks ago but I've just got a RS3M) and it is starting to feel "easy" now.
I also have one in my pocket most of the time, it's another hobby my wife hates lol "Do you HAVE to bring that thing with you?" YES I DO
I’ve just got the Tornado V3 Pioneer, and I’m loving it. Just using that cube cut off some time in itself. Have you started doing F2L and cross directly in bottom yet? I averaged 55ish with 2-look OLL and PLL with F2L and cross in bottom. It takes a long time to get really fast with F2L so that’s a ongoing thing I’m trying to optimize.
I've been eyeballing the Tornado V3 Flagship myself. I do the cross on the bottom, but advanced f2l means adding the f2l while doing the cross and I'm not that good yet. I feel like this week I've just started getting a real feel for pairing up the blocks, and that's lead to quicker solves. It'll be a few more weeks of practicing to get it intuitive but I'm definitely on the right path.
