Sub 20 help/LL tips

[blokpoi]

Hi everybody, I currently average about 23 seconds and I need help breaking the sub 20 barrier. My LL is the worst part of my solve so I need some tips for that the most (disregard I use 2LLL)

My solve basically goes like this:
Cross: 3 sec
F2L: 10-11 sec
LL: 7-10 sec

Any advice from anybody? Thanks.

well, learn FULL PLL and OLL, but not too fast.

I know full OLL and PLL.

Practice your ll algs. What is the break of oll/pll.

OLL is roughly 2-3 seconds, it's probably my PLL recog that is killing me.

It's not too hard. Watch Badmephisto's video.

Then practice it. You can use a scrambler to generate PLL scrambles, but I think the best way is just to solve a lot. Recog improves over time on its own.

You don't have to know Chinese to look at the pics, right?

If you're recognising PLLs by seeing where pieces move, you're gonna have a bad time.
Just watch badmephisto's video on recognising PLL patterns and use an LL scrambler to get better.

I was just like you about 2 weeks ago. Your cross should be around 1-2 sec and your ll needs help just watch badmephisto's video

Practice. I know this doesn't sound like a good recommendation, but with LL you need to practice to get faster. Take your time and take on 1-2 PLLs a day, practice them and find fingertricks, learn to recognise them (gets easier with practice).
Then do the same with OLL.

Yeah I would just drill PLLs for 5 minutes before doing your normal cubing every day for a while and see if that helps. Otherwise keep practicing and lookahead will come. Sorry for the generic answer, but it reflects the question.

PLL recognition.. anybody?

 

[sneaklyfox]

Besides recognition, fast execution is important too. First is find the alg that is most suitable to you. Make sure you have good fingertricks for the alg you choose. Practice triggers. Break down your algs into smaller chunks and practice executing the smaller chunks faster.
