U' L' U' L U2 L' U' L / U R U R' U2' R U R'...Finger first part of algs

U' L' U' L U2 L' U' L, U R U R' U2' R U R'

As as noob I always finger the first part of algs like these(U' L' U' L or U R U R') as:

U' Middle finger
L' Wrist
U' Index finger
L Wrist

U Middle finger
R Wrist
U Index finger
R' Wrist

It's pretty fast to do it this way but of course I was wondering if there are any other ways to finger these triggers?

How would you guys do algs like these?

Thanks Brest. I'm not normally great with D moves but that flows quite nicely for me.

Edit: isn't that Ra? I'm confused

I must have got confused, not you.

What move groups to you like? I'm guessing <R,U,F> but any others?

These have potential:

R U R' U2 r' U2 R' f' U' f R2 U2 r (13h/17q)

(R U R' U') f' U2 F2 (R U R' U') F2 U2 f (14h/18q) = (R U R' U') f' U2 F2 (R U R' U') y' R2 U2 r

r' R U' R U' R' U2 r U' R' U' F R' F' R (15h/16q) = r' R U' R U' R' U2 r U' R' U' x U R' U' R x'

And some other experimental algs:

F' U r' U r F r' U' r d R' U2 R (13h/14q)

L' U2 L U' x' U' R U L' U' R' U F' r (13h/14q)

L' U L' F2 U' L' U' L' U L U F2 L2 (13h/16q)

r' F2 r U2 r' U r U r' F' r' F' r2 (13h/16q)

L' U2 L R' U R U2 L' U' x' U2 L' U2 L2 x (13h/18q) = r' F2 r R' U R U2 r' F' U2 r' F2 r2

L' U' R D' R' U' R D R' L U' L' U' L (14h/14q)

F' L F L' U F U R U R' F' L' U2 L (14h/15q) = F' r U r' U F U R U R' F' r' F2 r

L' U2 L F R U' R' U' F' U' L F' L' F (14h/15q) = r' F2 r F R U' R' U' F' U' r U' r' F

F R F' r U R' U R' F R' F' R2 U2 r' (14h/16q)

F' U2 L U L' U' F U L U' L' F' U2 F (14h/16q)

r' R U2 R' U2 F' r F R' U2 R2 U R' F' (14h/18q)

R r2' F2 r U2 R' U r U r' F' r' F' r2 (14h/18q)

F' U r' D U' R' D' F D R D' U r U2 F (15h/16q)

L U' R U L' D' R U R' U2 R U R' D R' (15h/16q)

R U' F' r' U r' F' r2 F R' U' F R' F' R (15h/16q)

R U r' U' r R' F' R r' U R' F r U2 F (15h/16q)

R U2 F U' R' U R D R' U R U D' F' R' (15h/16q)


Some of these have nice inverses, but the headlights are not at the back:

r U2 R2' F R F' R U' R U' L' U R' U' x' (14h/16q) = r U2 R2' F R F' R U' R U' r' F R' F'

R D' R U' R' U2 R U' R' D L U' R' U L' (15h/16q) = R D' R U' R' U2 R U' R' D z U R' D' R U' z'

Brest,
Just wow. Many thanks indeed.
I will have a look at these in detail over the next couple of days and report back. (It's late here and I have a crazy day tomorrow).
The first one looks like it could be quite fingertrickable, and the second one looks ridiculously easy to memorise...but I fancy a crack at some of the experimental ones too.
Can't wait to get at them! Thanks again. :tu

Edit:
These seem nice:

r' R U' R U' R' U2 r U' R' U' F R' F' R
L' U L' F2 U' L' U' L' U L U F2 L2 (it's the mirror of one I use for Ra)
r' F2 r R' U R U2 r' F' U2 r' F2 r2

But this is the winner:

r' F2 r F R U' R' U' F' U' r U' r' F
Me like. :)

Me like. :)

I like to include a bunch of options because each cuber has their own style and likes/dislikes.
I'm glad you found one that suits you!
