Looking ahead and turning at a consistent pace is very important in F2L. In this video, I demonstrate that by looking ahead and turning at a steady pace, you don't need to turn extremely fast during F2L to achieve sub 20 averages.

Average: 18.55
Standard Deviation: 1.14
Individual Times: (16.12), 20.00, 19.10, 17.40, 20.31, 16.77, 17.40, (21.44), 19.68, 18.64, 18.23, 17.96

Cube: ShengEn Type F II

I saw this. Nice job
And I think its good that you turned faster during LL, because there isn't really a point to turn slowly in OLL/PLL, unless you wanna anticipate your PLL/reduce locks and pops.

I always find that when I sacrifice a bit of turn speed that my F2L time drops significantly too, but I always get messed up when I get on a roll (like when you have great look ahead and a great tps, and it's like a 14s solve or something). After that roll, I start going back down hill until a couple solves later.

The flow of your F2L is delicious.

I've been stuck at just barely sup-30 for a while now and this is definitely what I needed. I checked out your tutorial, much appreciated :tu

I did a few slow turning solves and then a few at speed and I had multiple sub-28 solves which is a solid performance for me.

Freshcuber: Good work, now you need to get those F2L cases etched into muscle memory. Go find a website with all 42 cases on it (I personally recommend http://www.kungfoomanchu.com due to it's layout of the cases), set up the cases, and see if you can solve them all blind. If you can do this, find a pair and solve it blind (doing no cube rotations or anything while you still have your eyes open). Open your eyes, find your next pair, repeat. I was able to 22.xy average of 5 like this, so if you do things right you should be able to get a sub25 average with it in less than a week of practice. Now do that but instead of closing your eyes, keep them open and watch the rest of the cube to find your next pairs I'm sure the sub15 cubers could still sub20 via that method, but I'm not them and have an 8s LL time

Lovely! This will get me a boost for sub-20 averages!
