I switched from standard Y perm to RUR'B2'RU'R'd'R2UR2UR2. I am quite slow at PLLs, but it cut my time from 5s to 3s.

My friend found this F perm it is basically triple antisune+niklas.
I forgot it at the moment. It's about 20 moves, long, but fast.
 
Here it is
F: RU2R'U'RUR'U'RU2L'UR'U'LRUR'URU2R'
I don't use it. I use the reflection of one given earlier somewhere.
R1: L'U'LURUR'URU2R'L'U2LU'rUR'U'r'FRF'
R2: RUR'URUL'UR'U'LU2RU2R2U'R2U'R2U2R
I use macky's. But try these.
 
I am thinking about switching my Y perm to this:
F R' F' R U R U' R' F R U' R' U R U R' F'
Performed as:
x U R' U' l U R U' R' F R U' R' U R U R' F'

It is just the inverse of the standard alg, but I've never seen anybody use this before. I've always hated the double-OLL alg for this case, but performed this way it is quite nice for me. I've used Joel's alg as my Y-perm for a while, but I might switch to this.
 
That is quite nice actually, how fast can you do it?

EDIT: The immediate problem I'm having with it is the regrip after doing R' F, but I'm sure I could get used to it.

Usually 1.6-1.8, which is just about as fast as my other alg. My best single with it so far is 1.56, but I think I could get sub 1.5. It's a nice alg, but the thing is the alg completely flies except for the first three moves. It's hard to transition from the first three moves to the rest of the alg without losing speed, but that is the only time I regrip.
 
so far...in every situation ive had, all ive had to do is the parity alg on the 4x4 for the t permutation. then that automatically sets up a u perm. ive done it about a billion times. the parity alg i use is: F' U' F U F R' F2 U F U F' U' F R
then all i have to do is the u permutations: R2 U' R' U' R U R U R U' R or R' U R' U' R' U' R' U R U R2
 
R2 U R U' R' U y' (l) U L' U L U R' U'

Lemme correct this but I'm still working on it. I have a typo somewhere and I don't have the alg available.
I'm pretty sure this is right. I just worked on it.

Swap URB and ULF, and UL and UF.
It's a pretty nice Algorithm, I'm trying to beat my old Y perm with this one.

Later,

I'm sure you both realize this, but (r' M R) is simply a breakdown of M2. I suck at M2, both with the 2 part method (r2 R2), and with the two fingered "pure slice" method (ala Bob Burton). Still this three part method doesn't seem like it would be much easier. But Hadley is WAY faster than I am, so my opinion on this might not count for much.
