D2 flick purpose?

[cometcubes]

Ive seen lots of people always saying to do the d2 flick on the a perms and ive tried that but if anything it makes me slower. So why is it important?

 

[PiKeeper]

It's faster if you do it properly

 

[PCCuber]

You will become slower until you become faster. What i did when trying to implement it is to spam it all the times, with the correct fingertricks , wherever I was. I remember distinctly spamming a-perms and e-perms on buses, and now they are my fastest PLLs.

Wow it's hard to to spam a-perms and e-perms on cubes let alone buses!

Learning full PLL, OLL, or any new skill or technique makes you slower at first. The point of learning them is that once you are proficient at it you will be improving your times.

Seriously though, after two years of cubing, I still can’t do the D2 flick properly.

I can double flick D2 with both hands but U2 with only left hand -_-

I prefer left U2 since every time I do a H Perm or such, I’m practicing it, but alright with right U2

I tried to develop a usable D2 for a few years with zero success. I finally gave up and recently changed my Ab perm to R' B' R U' R D R' U R D' R2 B R (don't let the B moves fool you, it's actually regripless and starts in neutral grip).

that's really a pretty good alg!

I think I like it better than the one with D2s in it even if I could do those D2s well. I have @openseas to thank for that one.

Gianfranco's famous A perm

It just takes practice. It was one of the first fingertricks I learned after U2. Just while you're watching a video or movie or something just practice it over and over to get it in your muscle memory.

D2 flick in the PLLs like A perm is super important. A good technique of double flick of D2 in A perm makes it the fastest PLL.

I'm literally the inverse:
I can't do righty D2s but I can do U2s with both hands lol

Same for me. Lefty D2 is enough since most algs with D moves alternate with U and R moves

I learned how to do D2 doubleflicks with both hands, so that I can do A perms for every angle.

yeah but can do it with your feet?
