Does pinkie hurts when OH?

[ISuckAtCubing]

When i OH, my pinkie hurt, and i just started OH like 5 mins ago, and my pinky has already start hurting, is that suppose to happen? Also, how can i learn all the pll and oll with OH, it is hard, it is really easy to do it with 2 hands but it is hard to learn it with 1, any tip on learning them with OH?

When you say start you mean never before right?
Alg: finger amnesia (it sucks) depending on how you memorize you OLL and PLL, you may or may not be able to figure out 1 hand. For example, if your PLLs are memorized by patters formed on the cube (one yellow line, pairs, etc) it is easier to do that alg OH.
Your pinkie is supposed to hurt if you've never used it in some other activity (piano, guitar, etc). When it hurts, you should rest. If your hands aren't small you can also try your ring finger.

What turns do you do with your pinky?
Mine isn't strong enough to do anything OH...

 

[Novriil]

I don't use pinkie at all OH
And LL algs are usual. I just know them and when I learned them I memorized them so I can do them OH too.

 

[ISuckAtCubing]

i dont either, i use ring finger, also, it is not really right a my pinkie, is more like the bottom of my palm, so is more like the bottom of my pinkie

 

[Novriil]

from what then? Holding the cube is painful? Maybe try to hold different or try to change the angel etc.

 

[ISuckAtCubing]

it doesnt hurt like right away, but it will start hurting after like 5 solves

 

[Novriil]

Since when do you solve OH?

btw. I'm going to sleep (0:33 in our time and tomorrow is a early wake-up. Plus I was on a classtripp this night :/ No-sleep-at-all) so I'll talk to you when I wake

If it starts hurting after 5 minutes it means your pinkie isn't strong enough.

I use my right hand for OH and the first day I started using my pinkie for doing L moves it hurt after one solve. after a few days it stopped though because the muscles got stronger.

 

[ISuckAtCubing]

yeah i think i dont have enough of muscle at the bottom of my palm, i think i will stop hurting soon

*agrees with people when they say that practice and over time it doesn't hurt anymore*.

I'm normally a right handed cuber, but I go OH LH because I love the 2-gen RU z-perm on my left hand. At first, ALL of your fingers hurt like mad, even with a DianSheng (most other cubes are either too heavy or don't turn well), but after about a week or so of intense OH practice the pain goes away and is replaced by "OKAY WHERE IS THAT PAIR!!!"

Then it's replaced by Euphoria when your OH times go almost as low as your old 2H times...

Cube amnesia is normal -- I actually forgot the Z-perm OH during a competition solve, and that scared the hell out of me, so I just did 2 U-perms...

I still don't know the OH OLLs or the N-perms, so I 2-look them all for the most part... it works out fairly nicely, I average about 15 seconds for the LL, and 20-30 seconds for the F2L.
