I'm very interested in this as well. I inspect for a very long time to get cross plus 1, and usually I may still make an error if executing while not looking. I know practice has a lot to do with that, but I'm looking for maybe a new way of thinking about that. My approach has been, and I'm sure it's not best, is: I inspect and get the 4 edges of cross, and look ahead to my first pair. Sometimes its easy, sometimes not so much. I've been doing more CN solves, so it's much easier to memorize my cross, but I'm bad (or at least not good yet) at memorizing 6 pieces rather than just the 4 edges and "looking ahead" on that +1. I'm open to suggestions and tips. Especially new ways of visualizing it. I haven't practiced memorizing the 6 pieces enough to see a better time than, executing 4 pieces while looking ahead.
Thank you all for any input
