Participants needed! - Survey on cubing habits (results used for upcoming tutorial)

blah · Oct 16, 2009

I'm thinking of doing a "proper cubing form" tutorial for a variety of reasons that I won't go into for the time being. But before that, I need some general statistics on what most people are doing.

So watch this video...

Then pick one option for each of the 3 questions I asked in the video:
1. with or without pinky support
2a. Turning hand: curl or flick
2b. Gripping hand: curl or flick
3. with or without pinky support

I won't do a poll because there are 2^3 = 8 possible combinations, which is pretty stupid.

1. With pinky support, although its instinctive for me.
2. Both, depends on the alg. Altough I usually find myself curling when I'm just messing around.
3. I can only do double trigger with my left, so its still pinky support.

EDIT: I dont think you should make a video like this, as everyone has there own cubing style and form, and no one way should be the correct way.

Both, I suppose.

Though my non-dominant hand curl seems somewhat different.

2. Both
3. Both

Sorry if its not much help due to both, but its the fact that I do both.

I don't think he's going to base the 'correct way' off of data, but rather already planned this and is only getting data from us to show what % of us are doing things the same way.

There is no actual proper way, so he may also just be doing an experiment. But who knows other than Blah?
