how to improve finger strength for OH

Just practice. It's like guitar hero, you suck at it first, but then you get better as time goes by.

What should I focus on in 4x4? Here is my breakdown

Centers ~25
Edges ~ 1:00
The rest ~ 30

Any tips will do. Thanks

My breakdown is about

~15 centers
~30 edges
~20 3x3

Like what V-te said, just practice. Learn the technique so your fingers know what to do, then it'll just improve over time I'm sub 30 OH and I don't practice :confused:

What thats amazing 3x3.

umm now that you mentioned it, it's more like 25 3x3 and 25 edges
All i know is i'm usually at the 3x3 stage at around 45

Anyone know what model (Type C, F etc) the puzl competition standard cube is/is based on? I think it's a C but I'd like to know for sure.

My 3x3 sucks, I usually finish redux at 30-35, but only get mid 50's averages. Maybe that will change when I get my YJ, though.

Do you do 2 pair? I dont seem to be getting faster at it. And the edge pairup parity takes me four seconds to do even though it's 7 moves

Yes, but I am experimenting a bit with Yau/Koen

I get around 1.6 on it, and that is on its own, not in the flow of a solve (no warmup, and not mid-solve, which I would be faster during). I think I could sub-1 it, if I practiced a bit.

Ya I knew that that's why the "" is there.

Are CII's only availible on C4Y?

2) How fast can you get with two-pairing on 4x4? I'm averaging around 1:05-1:10 and I can't seem to get any faster.

Erik Akkersdijk uses 2-edge pairing, so you can get pretty fast with it. Just keep practicing.

Why was the click on the outer layers of V cube 6 put there? It doesn't help keep the core in alignment, does it?

I think it is more of a way to keep all layers feeling uniform, rather than having only 1 clicky layer. Bad choice, IMO.

I understand megaminx notation but I haven't found a timer that uses it. Can you hook me up?
