Ok. I sort of already started becoming color neutral, (I made a race thread) but about OH, most people that do it do it with their left hand even though they are right handed. I know nothing about OH solving, nor have I started, but I feel more comfortable with my right. Also, if I do start OH, are there any more algs to learn? and doesn't ZZ work better with OH?
Regarding hand, the only advantage of using your left hand is that you already can adapt / relearn many algs that are R U, while, if you use your left, you will have to learn new algs or mirror them for L U. I tried with both and finally decided to go with left hand. You can basically use the same algs, but some of them are not very ergonomic for OH or need additional rotations, etc. I have learned like 2 or 3 new PLLs, for example and still use 2 look OLL for many cases instead of the 2H 1L OLL because of OH amnesia or because the alg is too awkward for OH and I have not learned a new one yet. Regarding the method, ZZ is supposed to be better for OH but all the 3 main methods are successfully used for OH, even Roux, with all those M slices, can be very fast OH if you know how to table abuse well ZZ doesn't need F turns nor y cube rotations but it needs z cube rotations to insert pairs on the left (if you use your left hand) but, yeah, z rotations are faster than y. For me, though, gaining dexterity at OH is being a very slow process and my times are still quite bad, compared with my 2H times so I'm not graduating at sub-30 OH anytime soon
And, sure, I know you started a CN race thread. I just started racing this week on it... but failed at sub-23 blue cross
