    Default D2

    Ok, this is probably a stupid question, but how do all of you do a D2 move?

    For my CW A perm, I use two single flicks with my ring finger in order to keep my grip on the correction position of the cube, but on my CCW A perm, i release my grip and re-grip the bottom layer in order to do a full D2 with one motion, but then I have to re-re-grip back to my original position to finish the algorithm. I was wondering if there are any certain techniques that can be used for a D2 move to make it faster. Is it better to lose your grip and do a full D2? Or to keep your grip and do a slower D', D' move (I do it with my right index finger)? Any suggestions? Thanks

    I do a right-ring,right-pinky combo for D2, sorta like doing a right-index,right-middle combo for U2.

    Although most top cuber vids I see (i.e. most sub-13 YouTube solves I watched), show that they wrist D2 whenever they do it. I dunno, I can't regrip that fast...

    That's odd.. I would think that a D2 double flick would be a ring/middle finger combo, but then there is a re-gripping involved in that too so I guess not.

    I kind of expected the answer: That depends on the rest of the algorithm.

    The way of doing D2 totally depends on the way your hands are holding the cube.
