During inspection memorise as much of the cross as you can, then execute your cross slowly looking ahead for the first pair.
My cross to F2L transition is still quite dodgy..
EDIT: I can BLD my cross quite easily most of the time... but personally hasn't helped me a lot... dunno maybe I'm weird..lol
My cross to F2L transition is "dodgy" too. And I can BLD my cross easily too. It can help if you to a point. Beyond that point, my problem is that when I do BLD, I know how the moves feel but when I am looking for the first pair at the same time, it's hard to do both even if I don't need to look at the cross. But I think this will improve over time.
