Beginners one handed tips and pointers thread

OK, I am a novice at OH and i think there should be a tips and pointers thread like this.

Please only post if you actually have a tip or pointer someone might need.

when he put that, it was probably around 25.90 or something. of course, he has had to improve at least a second since putting that sig.

i was just messing with him, no big deal, I understand he has improved.

You don't need 2-gen, you need Roux.

Anyway, I'm also terrible at OH and want to get better.

lol gears. btw, use roux for 2x2's. It's really fast. SO fast that you can't see the M slice move.

We developed Rouxgaminx at US Nats. I think it has potential.

One thing i do to practice is solve 2 gen scrambles

you can get them using qqtimer.

Hello everyone. I just found this thread and so thought I would post. I average about 17 for OH and I use a different style than the video already posted. I have a website devoted to OH solving loftycuber.110mb.com and have a youtube channel containing many OH videos including all of my PLL's and a video on how I turn the cube. I use an old type A cube contrary to the video posted, most people don't like my cube as it is kinda hard to turn and not as loose as other people's cubes, but it all comes down to personal preference.

The video is kinda old and has no sound so let me know if you want to make a new one.

Hogwash, what a bunch of baloney, I used roux for magic and master magic.
