Have you considered learning COLL? I think it would be useful.

 

[Rama]

Well not really no, currently I am still busy learning all the oll's (almost learned all of them now) and speed up my LL for 2H.
But I will take your advice in consideration, it never hurts to learn COLL.

Yeah, I saw the T case OLL go into the F perm and I was like noooooooooo lol

Wow, this makes me kind of nostalgic. It's amazing how times have changed... I remember back in 2008 when I met you at a competition in Germany, and you were one of the best in the world, and now my OH PB avg12 is better than yours (and I'm not even considered all that fast!). Kind of incredible, really.

That said, great job. It's always nice to get a PB on camera. I think you could do even better if you cut down on the sup20s - try to get more consistent at the OLLs (or at least find good ways to execute them) and concentrate more on lookahead to get your pauses down to about where they are in two-handed solves (or less!).

I was thinking this too. I still considered Rama as one of the best in the world in my mind. I saw the title, and was confused why the Rama was posting an 18.xx average of 12.

@a small kitten: That's it, I'll make it my homework.

@qqwref: After WC2007 Takumi Yoshida's video just came out with his 16.19 average. When I saw his fingertricks I immediately knew this was the 'future' and at the WC2009 I saw everyone turn sub-20 times like it was just a 'slow' 2H solve. It's always nice to see how things progress in cubing, I'm glad that I was the last of my generation with the 'slow' fingertricks.
Anyhoo, I realised after seeing the video that I pause really a lot, I will definitely work on that and also on the 'pointer U-flick' to enhance my efficiency.

@All: Don't consider me back, I just want to get rid of my pesky 18.29 average.... :facepalm:

Rama Temmink... I remember maybe like 2 years ago when I thought I could never be as fast as you are at OH (or even solve OH for that matter), but now I also average around 18 seconds.

Still, you got 3 solves under 15.50! Wow!

good to see you back in place = )
