One-Handed Solving Methods?

[twixx62]

What are the best methods for solving 1-handed? Right now I use Petrus and I feel as though it would be good, since after getting a 2x2x3 you just use U and R turns. But of course, I'm pretty new to cubing and could possibly be wrong. Please enlighten me. Thank you.

Most consider zz pretty good because of the R, U, L F2L. Ssome like the other methods. If I were to list the big four in oh solving ability, I'd probably say zz, petrus, cfop, roux.

Kirjava would not like that statement lol. Roux is actually quite nice for 1h, just gotta use the table to help with M slice

ZZ+COLL 33 if you have the right COLL set your solves can be completly 3 gen after EOline.

Or if you zz-rainbow that ish you can 2gll

All big methods can be fast with OH if you want to, but ZZ is good I think.

ZZ+ZBLL

ZedZed or cfop.

I love how nobody even considers using a method unless some other person is fast at it. It makes it so obvious why CFOP is most common method.

I am not denying it is the best method, no am I saying so. I believe there's no best method. Yet.

That's not quite true. After 2x2x3 you need to do EO. Then finishing F2L is indeed <R,U>. Then the LL will only be <R,U> if you get a CP skip (i.e. 1/6 chance). I don't think Petrus as good as CFOP, ZZ and Roux for normal speedsolving and I think it's even worse for OH because the blocks require way too many awkward face combinations and then EO isn't pleasant either. The slightly-better-than-CFOP finish F2L and LL steps really don't make up for the earlier problems.

petrus is a dream if you're CN, sticking to a particular orientation yes it will be a bit more awkward to do, but color neutral-wise, petrus is pretty nice actually, or so i've heard

From my experience, I used cfop, I'm not that good with OH, but I did looked up ZZ method few days ago, it is a very OH friendly method I would say. I might explore it in depth when I have time or care enough to improve my OH through switching.

I agree. My OH times are quite good (around 29 seconds) compared to my 3x3 times (23 seconds) and I don't even put very much effort into it.

ZZ ftw OH. after the awkward start it is a dream. though i was suprised how good roux OH was. but imo it is risky as rules on table abuse can change...

Wouldn't block building slow down your solve?

ZZ+ZBLL

Do you use ZBLL?

out of curiosity why would you say that it would slow down your solve?

 

[JasonK]

Maybe because blockbuilding without EO first has lots of awkward turns for OH?

nah, roux onehanded can be nice if you do several turns with one finger, like RUL with the index finger, that kind of thing.
also, the low movecount balances the awkwardness by quite a bit.
