With no adjustments, this Axelises to 73.5 - 68 =5.5 so an initial double
but not a redouble. I haven't checked the redouble with XG but the
thinness of the initial cube leads me to think that XG agrees with both
verdicts.
Furthermore, before I was an Axellist, I would have used 8/9/12 which
is (wrongly) a slight hold as 63 + 8% = 68.04.
