[Unofficial] 2x2 - Average of 5: 6.53 (Tips please!)

[bamboocha]

Scrambles and individual times:
1. U' F2 U R U F' U' F U' - 6.19
2. U' F' R U2 F' R2 F' R2 F - 5.95
3. U' F' U R2 F U' F' U2 R2 - (13.75)
4. R2 U' F R' U R U' F2 U2 - 7.46
5. R' F' U F U' F' R F U' - (4.28)

This a pretty common 2x2 avg for me (Except the third solve which was a complete failure). I'm using Ortega method and I would like to have some tips to improve.

One thing that makes my 2x2 solving slower is AUF, when I'm recognizing a PBL case I immediately see if the top layer is in it's correct place or if it needs U2 to be completed, but it is hard to see if it needs U or U' to be solved.

Faster first side.

Dont stop the timer like that, because that makes all of your solves +2's

I noticed that too when I watched the video. That's a bad habit and I'm trying to learn to stop the timer right.
