What is the most effecient way to solve centers in Yau? I need to get faster times on centers. Are half centers worth learning at my speed which is about 2:40. I haven't practiced much. F2C is about sub 10 and L4C is around 1:30. Edges(3-2-3) are around 20

tl;dw... Sure, practice half centers, but don't rely on them.

As for "what the most efficient way?" I know you're sick of hearing this but: practice.

There is no "method" for solving the centers besides Half Centers. There are no algorithms for centers besides L2C. And you'll find out like I did that no one makes dedicated videos or tutorials for just L4C. You have to do slow solves and play around with different ways of solving different cases until you find ones that you like. Solve the centers, rescramble, solve the centeres, rescramble, solve the centers, rescramble... go slow and really think about how to solve each case you get. It's really the best way to learn.

Practice FTW! I have no idea what FTW means anyway, but Faz uses this for his OH videos.

Nah FTW = For the Win. In one of Faz vids he said"Table abuse FTW" it didnt mean Table abuse F--k the world but for the win!
But your post made me giggle!

My bad.... i just checked up the urban dictionary and f--k the world is used in the bike gangs or something like that
 
How can I reduce my time for Yau centers? I have been practicing all lot, but I haven't improved at all. My centers + cross are about 2 minutes.

Try to plan out both of your first two centers in inspection, you really have to learn to track multiple pieces so you don't waste time searching for them. Other than that, PRACTICE.

If it's taking him 2 minutes to solve cross + centers I don't think he is at the stage of planning F2C in inspection.

@PJKcuber stop asking questions that can always be answered with 'Practice'. If practice isn't working then take a break; do something else. Watch example solves. Watch solves. Film and watch yourself solve. Turn faster...

Do something for yourself rather than asking to be spoonfed in every post you make.

Although I can't really solve the 4x4 but, you can't go POOF! and get 1 minute. It just comes down to practice.


My question: Is there any good tutorials for solving 4x4? Most of the popular ones don't go on all the cases.

Use TheSergsB tutorial. He teaches a basic Reduction method that is easy to grasp.
