Can anyone *points finger at lofty* tell me how to improve my turns per second? I really suck at turning fast with OH which is letting me down, please help. my finger tricks are as follows(Right handed) U/U',R/R',F index L/L', F' pinky. I never use any other sides. ZZ ftw
 
Are you using RH or LH algs? If you're using RH algs and using your RH, no wonder your turning speed is slow. It is a lot easier to do RH algs with your LH. I can probably get around 4-5 moves/second with my LH doing R U' R' U. With my RH, I can't even get close to that speed doing RH algs.
 
Just practice. I've been doing OH since I started cubing pretty much. I can get about 7 or 8 tps on a U now :-) Practice your algs so you have them down very good and there is no thinking about how to execute them. and Do things like L U L' U' or whatever.
I'm learning ZZ too :-) I get about 35 OH I'm terrible at EOLine...
 
lol same problem with EOLine but hat MH guys seems to be alright.(lofty)
and I use right hand (this is for PLL's) and usually just do a z' then U,L alg which was originally 2gen RU. I plan to learn that J-perm which L.O.S uses for OH.
 
I use both hands for OH - what does this mean in terms of algorithms? Currently I just use 2h ones... (sorry for the off-topic)_
