Just wondering, after the cross, when you do the next three edges, is it easier to do a Uw or Uw' first? Being right handed, would it be more fingertricky to disconnect with Uw' and reconnect with Uw or vice versa??? Or just preference?

It's definitely more efficient to place the final cross edge incorrectly, but then again, Yau wasn't made for efficiency, it was made for speed and easy lookahead. With that in mind, I raise my move count a little bit, and place my edge in the correct place, in order to get easier thought posses, and thus easier lookahead, and higher TPS. My point: if you care about TPS, but the third cross edge in the right place, if you care about efficiency, put it in the wrong place.

As for Uw or Uw', I would say that it's best to be able to do both, as it lets you take advantage of free edges. anyway, its just preference, and so I do Uw.

Hope this helps.

J perm is amazing, check out his video on YouTube. Try to learn 3-2-3 edge pairing, it is a lot faster.

You're not wrong, but this thread is from 2011.

(Thanks for reviving it though, it's pretty funny to see what people used to think of methods we take for granted today.)
