    Mine is very similar but from the other side. Finger tricks could be easier? I'm not sure how you're performing yours.

    You could always look on the wiki for different algorithms too.

    I found a good example from Feliks. Watch the second execution for the exact way I do it.

    I use my right index finger for D' but you could always use a reverse flick with the left ring finger like Feliks does in his video instead. Either will work. Best thing I like about this algorithm is that there are no regrips!

    Of course both can be done. But I strongly suggest you to switch to left ring. It might hurt a little in the beginning. But its very helpful. D' with left ring is helpful not only in E perm, but also makes your N perm and superman(headlights) oll considerably faster . I used to do E perm for almost a year with right ring, and my best was like 1.5-1.6 . I switched to left ring , and it took not much time to become much faster (even got sub1 singles) with it

    1/3 || 6x6 = 3:06.67 / 3:13.57 | 7x7 = 5:07.00 / 5:25.66

    Which N perm/alg are you referring to?

    I mean using left ring for the last D' , Even if you dont use this N perm, practising the left-ring fingertrick is worth it

    wow it never occured to me to use the same finger to do D and D'. It's a little awkward but I think I'll be able to master it with some time! I'm also going to try the index for D' to see which I can do faster. thanks
