I average sub 14 (although sometimes I get very low 14s). I was just wondering if there are any tips that the community could give me (other than learning more OLLs).

I only average about 19, so take this with a grain of salt. Some things I noticed were slight pauses in between f2l pairs and directly after the cross. In my opinion, slow solves will always improve lookahead. Also, doing some slow LL solves will help with Pll prediction, because I saw a pause before Pll on a few of the solves. While slowing down in practice, I also suggest improving raw tps, but I personally don't know of ways to do this to help only f2l, because your Oll's and Pll's are fairly fast.

Like I said, I'm barely sub-20, so I don't know if any of this will help. xD

I appreciate the tips. They are definitely things that I could improve on. It doesn't matter how fast you are, it's still helpful for me to find my flaws through someone else's point of view. :D
