    Ya I find this pretty nice too but as you say it's slower than left index... Unless it's used where your left hand is not there to do it and/or right index to push. Where you have something like LRU'RB'
    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))

    Well, I was mainly talking about the last quarter of the T-Perm. The part: R U R' F'.

    Because if I don't use my thumb for R U R' F', my hand has to leave the cube and do a cube rotation to do R U R' F'. But I have seen a lot of people do F' with their right thumb though.

    Use your right index for F'?
    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))

    No, I use my left index. I'm trying to switch to right thumb. It shouldn't be as hard because it's quite smooth.

    I ordered a SS 6x6 from speedcubeshop and it came in three days iirc. I live near Buffalo, right across the border. It will obviously take longer since it's international but it should get to you in less than a week.
