Where do I find home grip algorithms for F2L?

[Gadiboyo]

I'm doing good on turn speed in my opinion and I want to work on my look ahead, so someone recommended algs that start and end on home grip. Where should I find those? Because I do find often that i have to change my grip a bit much.

I feel like it's more about how you fingertrick the algs rather than which ones you do. I don't even know any f2l algs that would require you to regrip like that

For example there's a right side F2L alg which the solution is R U R' U2 R U R' U' R U R'. I find it quite hard to pinch the whole thing and feel like its faster to just regrip to the bottom of the cube, maybe I'm wrong but that is what I meant.

I feel like that is just a bad alg ngl.

 

[Gadiboyo]

Then what do you suggest? It's the alg with the R color on the front, the bottom color on the corner facing top, and the F face color on top as well next to it.

ok, grabbing my cube. I'll do it inverse to see the case. U F R' F' R U R U R' is what I do...

i think this works
U R U’ R’ U’ R U’ R’ U R U’ R’

seems better to me (its also the standard alg)

 

[J-EZ_Music]

Isn't that the wrong case... (I might be so wrong rn, but idk)

yep it's "insert the corner wrong" and then solve the push corner over edge case

https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/First_Two_Layers F2L 23 by this numbering (but I don't recommend using the wiki because it's a cesspool of bad algs)

My problem with Caleb's is the absolute SLEW of U's, that sledge alg though I've never seen it. How would you finger trick that with home grip though with both thumbs on the front? Do you left index the F and F'?

 

[J-EZ_Music]

yeah, you move your index up to the U face and do the F with ur right index R' keeping your finger on the R side of the RDF sticker so you can continue the alg quickly after.

Also I read the alg wrong my bad @Caleb Valenzuela

 

[Gadiboyo]

That's really good, thanks! I also don't like F2L 16, 24, 35, and 36 (according to the site above), maybe I'm just bad at them?

 

[J-EZ_Music]

I'll look into it. mwah!

 

[J-EZ_Music]

The advise I would give is, (also, don't really know where you are on your journey) have no f2l solutions more than 8 moves. (few exeptions). at 4 tsp during the solve (if you do CFOP) will be sub 15.

F2L 16: you can either do: y U’ L F’ L’ F U’ L’ U’ L (which is kinda bad) or R U’ R’ U2 F’ U’ F.
F2L 24: F U R U’ R’ F’ R U’ R’
F2L 35: U2 R U R’ F R’ F’ R
F2L 36: U2 F’ U’ F U R U’ R’
