Video of One Handed turns

[Harris Chan]

I saw this video of Ryosuke Mondo's One Handed Technique (like how he does R R' U U' etc.), just in case you haven't stumbled upon it already, and if you are more of "visual learner"

How the heck did he use his pinky like that? I guess mine's too short -.-"

nice video, may help if I ever go into OH

I really wish there was sound of him explaining his moves a little more. I don't know how he does his pinky like that either. My fingers are certainly not short and I cannot move the cube like he does. He certainly seems to have very good control of the cube OH.
I was watching Yu Nakajima's video of OH and he uses his pinky like that too...

Hi.

I listen your request.

I have trouble turning R' with my left hand (with finger other than index), maybe you can explain how to do it using ring or pinky ? (I usually turn R with Ring)

 

[Ryosuke Mondo]

Okay.

1.How to train your OH hand
2.turning R'

Wait for a while.

 

[Harris Chan]

Thank you Ryosuke ^^

[hdskull]

yea, thanks.

EDIT: btw harris, are you the one that got the japanese cubers to join this forum?

 

[Lofty]

I think turning R' is mainly just practice. In this forum we have talked about it before and most people just use their index finger so I never practiced it. But the past few days I have just been turning R' with my pinky over and over until it felt like my pinky is going to fall off and today started incorporating it into my un-timed practice solves and it is becoming more fluid.
Edit: Pinky Lock-ups are really bad. If the sides of the cube aren't lined up perfectly a push from my pinky doesn't have enough strength to cut the corner. Maybe working on this will force my turns to be more controlled and accurate since R' with a pinky has no force to it.

hmm. like if i do R' with pinky i'd have to switch doing R with ring to pinky also, and that feels weird.

 

[Lofty]

you could always do R' with your ring. I just tried it seems like an awkward stretch but then again I don't use my ring.

 

[hdskull]

yea... let's see what mondo says.

 

[Ryosuke Mondo]

I use pinky for R'. Becouse I want to hold a cube with more than 3 fingers.
Usualy I hold a cube with thumb middle and ring.
Index and pinky is free.
When I turn U2, I use double triger index and middle.Then I hold a cube with pinky and ring.

That's good for stable solve.
So I recommend you to use pinky that's the better way I think.
I agree that lofty said.

Nice video Thank you! I will try practicing those moves tomorrow or maybe in a few days when my hand rests it has been having very small pains.
Ryosuke: What do you average OH? You have no videos of actual timed speedsolves. Do you normally average faster than you did at worlds or is that an accurate average?
