F permutation so hard to do

[chue.hsien]

how does everyone do F perm? it seem that it requires tons of regripping..

 

[Sin-H]

I am holding the Cube that way so that the solved three cubies are at the left side.
My algorithm:

U' (R' U R U' R2) y (L' U' L U) y' x (R U R' U' R2)

At the beginning, I put my index finger on the DRB sticker so that I can do the U in the same movement as the R. the R' U R U' R2 is one fingertrick.
Then I regrip with an y so that the F turns to a L-move and do the easy fingertrick L' U' L U.
The next regrip is y' x so that the F can be done with U moves.

Greets,
Stefan

Where did you get that Alg lucas? Its quite nice, i might try learn it.

 

[Lucas Garron]

Found it either with ACube or CubeExplorer while searching for a nice one. I settled on this execution of the alg.

Not exactly the same, but close: http://twistypuzzles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=70063#70063 .

That is an interesting alg Lucas. Have you done an avg of 12 compared to an avg of 12 of the old way? You should, I am curious to see how close they are.

I like the look and sound of your cube Lucas. What type/brand is it ?

Old: 2.06
1.95, 1.90, 2.52, (2.64), 1.99, (1.85), 2.15, 1.99, 1.92, 2.03, 1.99, 2.20

New: 2.40
2.31, 2.22, (2.14), 2.78, 2.20, (2.97), 2.18, 2.68, 2.20, 2.45, 2.82, 2.12

Both rolling; bad pops and lockups not recorded. 1.85 and 2.14 are PB's.
Interestingly, the new one never popped but often locked up. The old one popped annoyingly often (10%-15% of the time, let's say), but rarely locked up...

Cube4you Type A DIY (with normal edges), and "skidproof stickers" that I'm starting to like more. Really inexpensive, too.

thx fro the replies ^^
atm it seems that my old alg ( R' U R U' ....) and lucas' one are the better ones.. the most common seem to me my old one.. but i got another one here..


R' U2 R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U` F

do u thk this or lucas' alg is better?

Cool, you think sub-2 is possible with the new?

 

[MetaboringJohnCañares]

my cube was messed up after executing the alg.

 

[chue.hsien]

which one? the one i wrote or lucas' ?

Very nice Stefan.
