[Help Thread] Finger Tricks Discussion and Help

[Username: Username:]

I thought I might share this OH fingertrick.
For S' moves hold your thumb near the center and between the LF and LFD edge and corner, put your middle and ring finger on the B face, middle finger on the LB edge, ring finger on the LBD corner, and flick the S slice down with your index finger and tighten the grip with the thumb and ring and middle finger so that you can push the S slice.
for S moves, I have no idea how you do it in OH.

You can use the same grip, but push from the L side of UL.

This is objectively the worst G perm, how do you sub-2 it? U (F' U' F) R2 u (R' U R U') R u' R2 I can't sub 2 it.

What are your problems?
I can sub-1 it.

the F moves at the beginning and wide moves are just awkward, after wide move and R' I do a finger drag for the U move, but I want to use this alg.

I do RU or LU instead of FU at the beginning, you can actually execute G perms from multiple angles with that alg, it's mirrors and inverse.

Ohh I didn't know that. Thanks!

Yep, just add rotations after the first trigger.

Learn the RUD one

Guys, my fingering for this alg is one of 2 ways:

1. U- Left index finger push
F'- Right Thumb
U'- Left index finger
F- Right index finger
U'- Left index finger
R- Right wrist turn Clockwise
U- Right index finger
R'- Right wrist turn Counter Clockwise

2. U- Left index finger push
F'- Right Thumb ***
U'- Left index finger
F- Right Thumb ***
U'- Left index finger
For the R U R' instead of the regrip version with Index, Middle, and Ring finger on top
I do the R U R' no regrip Thumb on Ft Face, Index, Middle, and Ring on Back Face twist with Index
goes under Thumb and back so its less of a wrist turn.

No. 1 Seems more like it wouldn't break down under competition pressures whereas with newer easy turning
cubes No. 2 works just as well but when its finished I'm back in the neutral grip with no re-gripping.
If any of you better cubers can post videos of how you would do this specific alg it would be much appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I am learning full PLL, and there are many algs that have the moves R U R' U. I can't figure out how to execute this without a regrip on the last U move. How would you do this?

 

[CyoobietheCuber]

R: simple just turn your wrist
U: push from LBU to BRU with your left index finger
R’: rotate your wrist back
U: normal U move with your right index finger

 

[qwr]

funny enough J perm mentioned this in his first ever video
Start with right thumb on front and do first U with index, second U with middle. will take a little to get used to.
In certain cases you can do right thumb on bottom and do a ring finger drag for second U but I don't think that's worth it normally

There's
R wrist
U index it's a pinch of sorts it is a bit hard at first.
R' wrist
U middle


Learn U double flicks for both hands if you don't already.

wtf is a pinch

 

[BenChristman1]

wtf is a pinch

You kind of “pinch” the UBR corner and pull it over to do a U move.

you mean you put your thumb on front, do the R move, then do the U move with index? that's what I assume

Yes

This way you can do R U from homegrip knowing U push is essential too.

I used to do that for sune case but I found flick to be much easier. But the index-middle one is the easiest.

its basically how you do sune regripless but without the rest of the sune alg.
