[Help Thread] One-Handed Solving Discussion

Is this a good idea? If you are doing 3x3 OH it's hard to reach around the cube and turn all the sides. Then why not buy a 4-4.5 centimeter cube and use that for OH?
it's probably a stupid idea but i'll throw it out there. here is the puzzle I had in mind.
 
Seems like a good idea since pillow cubes are allowed.

  • 3h) Modifications that enhance the basic concept of a puzzle are not permitted. Modified versions of puzzles are permitted only if the modification does not make any additional information available to the competitor (e.g. orientation or identity of pieces), compared to an unmodified version of the same puzzle.
    • 3h1) "Pillowed" puzzles are permitted.
    • 3h2) Puzzles whose colored plastic is visible inside the puzzle (e.g. "stickerless" puzzles) are permitted. This does not include the following puzzles:
      • 3h2a) Puzzles with transparent parts that can reveal more information about the state of the puzzle. Exception: An overlay sticker or a logo (see Regulation 3l).
    • 3h3) Any modifications to a puzzle that result in poor performance by a competitor are not grounds for additional attempts.
    • 3h4) For Clock, custom "inserts" (the same shape and size as the traditional paper inserts) are permitted, at the discretion of the WCA Delegate. The inserts must have a clear indication of 12 o'clock that matches the original inserts.

Is this a new regulation? To my understanding pillowed cubes were never allowed given (3h) as more than 3 sides can be seen. I thought it was only allowed for 7x7 back when 7x7 was only produced pillowed ( throw back to V-Cube ).
