    Question Double pairing and Triple pairing 4x4

    When should i switch from single pairing 4x4 to double or triple pairing? And should i switch to double pairing THEN triple pairing or just straight to triple pairing?

    What's "triple pairing"? The whole idea behind two is that you pair both when you make the double layer turn and when you undo it.

    There are a whole bunch of different ways to pair:
    - do 2 at a time the whole way
    - start with 3 (do a double layer turn immediately, then set four edges up so you pair 3 when you undo it) and then do 2 at a time
    - start with 6 (set four edges up so you pair 3 when you do a double layer turn, then set 3 more so you pair 3 when you fix the turn).
    Thing is, these are all more or less equally fast. You shouldn't "switch" to one of them once you get used to another. Do a bunch of solves with them all and use whatever feels most natural.
