I can't do the moves fast although I know how to do the moves.

So if you got any tips to get the OH moves faster, post it here.
 
I practice lots of solves too.
Practice pairing up from different angles. Look to see how you can make pairs that you wouldn't normally think about in 2H.
also I did my PLL's over and over and did PLL time attacks.
 
I think that you should just practice basic triggers. If you are left handed with one handed like me, you could just practice R U', R' U, R U R' U', and other common tricks. For example, for R U R' U' *6 OH, I can get about 9 seconds. This means I'm turning a little less than 3 moves a second. I am not that good at OH, and I have a terrible OH cube, so I probably could get sub 8.
 
when I walk down the street I always have my cube in my pocket (who doesnt :) ) I have developed the habbit of scrambling it OH whenever I walk or take the train (when I have company, so they dont know)
when I am alone it never stays in the pocket...

just doing random moves over and over helps you build your dextarity
 
also as Lofty said, look at pairing in new ways. cube rotation is HORRIBLE onehanded, so often you need to do double layer moves to make it easier.

I am bad with OH myself. but I get better .just about the 1 min mark :)
 
Me too! I just started to seriously OH. PB 46.88s from today! http://www.speedsolving.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I like that practice alg. I just did R U R' U' *6 OH in 4.64s, which gives 5.17 moves/second.
