How can I get this algorithm fast?

D L D' L' D F' D F. Just having a trouble with this. How can I get faster?

 

[Frubix]

Maybe you should try solving your first 2 layers on the down side

 

[Puzzlesolver]

I've tryed, but it's just hard, when I have done it to the upside for my whole life. It's very hard to change it right now.

[Frubix]

Try to change it, you'll adapt to it quickly

 

[XTowncuber]

If you are dead set on doing F2L on top (which you shouldn't be) then D L D' L' u L' D L

 

[ianliu64]

Nope.
F2L on top is hard to get sub 20 with.

D L D' L' D F' D F. Just having a trouble with this. How can I get faster?

The easy way: Do F2L on bottom

The hard way:

Spoiler

-Do the alg slowly 10 times, committing each move to memory.
-Then do 50 finger push-ups
-Do the alg 20 times as fast as you can
-Repeat

Few things, man.
First off, if you've only been cubing for a few weeks, switching F2L orientation will not be that hard. In fact, I've even considered switching to F2L on left for better fingertricks, and I'm a veryyy well "programmed" cuber. If you've been cubing for years and years and you sitll do it this way, you should know that I'm sub-10 and I fijnd f2L on bottom extremely challenging to do in sub-20. So it may behoove you to try changing.
That being said, up until 2 weeks ago, I'm been solving white cross only on top and flipping the cube to do F2L and I was sub-12. I'm switching to cross on bottom and CN and it's very very challenging but lots of practice and MANY walktrhough solves and untimed solves where I take it slow have been helping me. Once I get to the same mastery I had with cross on top, I should be pretty fast. This can apply to you, bro.
Practice. don't hesitate to learn new things (Reason I learned Roux, Heise, and ZZ) and finally, slow down and look ahead.

Can you do me a favor and film some solves? I've never seen anyone sub 12 who flips to do f2l..

Can you do me a favor and film some solves? I've never seen anyone sub 12 much less sub 20 who flips to do f2l..

FYI, he's posted inconsistent info about his times previously.

I know, that's what I'm noticing.. I'm way way confused.

 

[Ranzha]

I average 12-13 and still do cross on U when I do cross.

 

[kcl]

Wow. That's impressive. I wasn't trying to accuse anything, I've just never seen it. I'll have to watch some of your solves!

Kennan. What are you doing. Fix this atrocity now. lol.

Seriously don't do cross on the top. Just don't. Please.
Unless you really want to, but it's less efficient and stuff.

Oh you do F2L on the top too?
/flail/ don't. D moves are a lot slower than U moves.

Having said (ranted) that, if for some reason you're actually better at D moves than U moves:
1. Post a video
2. Practice the algorithm like heck.
3. Why do you use algorithmic F2L?

I do cross on bottom bro..

 

[yoshinator]

I just got a few sub 20s with cross on top up until LL

Touché.. I just tried and it's not as hard as I thought.

 

[AmazingCuber]

Cornelius dieckmann sometimes solves with cross on top.

Rob Yau is cross on top and so is D Shepz IIRC the conversation I had with Daniel.

I would be more worried about any kind of look ahead being the major issue unless he solves with the cube above his head.
