Thank you ;D I was getting worried because I just started finger tricks a few days ago (because up until now, I've been using my wrist for everything) My times are bad at the moment but I think I'll improve within time. ^^;

IMO you should go for 2-gen as much as possible in both F2L and OLL/PLL. But yeah, training your left hand should be on your to-do list, but it is not as important as good algs and looking ahead.

Good fingertricks in F2L are mostly 2-gen, but for OLL and PLL, you will have to start using your left hand more often, but mainly for L/L' and U/U'

Yeah, for and U/U' I use my thumb and L/L' I'll be lucky if I get a half turn. I finally learned full PLL but I'm trying to train my fingers to recognize G-perms at the moment @@;;

Thumb for U/U'? Use Both index fingers.

I suggest not using G-perms until later. Instead, practice F2L and Look-ahead. I am ~25 s Avg and I only know 15/21 PLL's.

I have just placed an order with camcuber's shop and purchased a tracking number. I want to know where I should enter this number (its usps) because on the package tracker on the usps website, it says the number doesn't exist. does the underscore matter? i.e. my number is xxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxx do i include that. what did you do?

G perms are the easiest PLLS for memo, & not that hard to recognize with a system.

Ugh... I asked a question a couple pages ago, but it hasn't been answered -.-

I'll ask again :D

Does the f-II wear out like the F-I does?

They all look the same to me. I know them but I'm slow at executing them.

This may sound like another dumb question but do you still use fingertricks for making the cross? I just noticed that after using my wrist for the cross, I go straight into fingertricks for everything else. Yet, with wrist, I get my cross done in 4 seconds compared with my fingers with 8 seconds ._.;
