Getting Faster 1H Drops Down 2H Times?

[dChan]

@Pedro: Very nice. Now I have regained my hope that by gaining a sub-35 average OH will lower my 2H times and then my ratio will slowly lower and lower!

@Lofty: Please do that! lol Do you still get above 20 sec times 2H?

 

[Lofty]

I only get sup-20 when I have not warmed up at all...
I was thinking I could solve my normal speedsolve rounds OH to warm-up comp style lol. But I will most likely just do my best in all events

Don't do that Lofty! Try your hardest at 2H!! You should really start practising it, and get a proper 2H cube!

that is kind of obvious because your OH times can never be better than your 2H times.

You sure?

This is just bogus. His times were obviously dependant on the scrambles. His OH solving isn't faster. If it "technically" was, he could just do 2H as OH. It is logically impossible for OH to be faster than 2H in theory (as in, dependant on average and scrambles etc).

the opposite happened to me, My OH times were terrible and always have been until i got around 17 seconds 2H, then my OH followed with 28-32 averages

You took it a little too seriously.It is clear from the rest of his solves, that he is definitely slower at one handed and that particular solve must have been a lucky one.I just showed a rare exception.You missed the smiley
BTW, I don't know the person.I just dug it out of the WCA database.

I remember at Benelux Open I was doing OH racing with Rama, and aftar a quite huge ammount of solves I started solving 2H, and it was surprising how easily I got 12-13s solves.

I think that my look ahead during F2L is quite much improved by solving one-handed.


EDIT: I just got a new non-lucky personal best of 17.23!! :-D
EDIT2: And now I got a new average record of 22.23.

lol, wow, nice Gunnar.

I think that when you are conscientiously thinking about find the optimal solution while solving [for example, during one-handed solving] you tend to get into that mindset so that even when you are solving 2H you bring in that mentality of solving optimally and therefore get better times. I mean, if you can get a 35 second average OH then that means you are solving optimally and have some hand skill right? So if you can do a solve in 52 moves OH in 35 seconds just imagine if you had both hands then you would theoretically cut the time in half. Maybe this is why it seems some people's progress in OH affects their 2H.

Oh no, sorry my post did sound a little harsh, I dind't mean for it to sound like that. Maybe I should have used smilies too

 

[martijn_cube]

My OH PB is faster than my 2H one... not official tho we'll have to wait till Saturday for that... maybe I'll purposefully make my OH times faster.

what happens if you solve the F2L with one hand and the LL with two? i mean i think that you can solve the LL algs faster with two hands, right? or doesn't it make that much of a difference?

Ratio 1.25

so practising either event should decrease your times in both.

well, depends on your current speed...OH turning is different from 2H...to get like sub-25 you need some more hand skill, so practicing 2H won't really drop your times

Like If I average 30 seconds 1H should it automatically mean I am averaging 15 seconds 2H?

nah, there's no such a thing...people have different OH/2H ratios...mine is about 1.68 (24.5 / 14.5), but some have close to 1.5, others have close to 2.0...

It's very interesting, because my two average is almost the same (25 / 20)
so the ratio for me is 1.25.
