AUF before or after?

[rjohnson_8ball]

(Does anyone else think that AUF is silly but AUL sounds too bad to promote?)

Do you mean F, L as Face, Layer or as First, Last? I would think Layer would make more sense than Face, because we say OLL and PLL, which refer to Layer. I am too much of a newbie to know if AUF, AUL or even ALL (Adjust Last Layer) would be the best term.

My PLL recognition and execution stinks so I'd rather not give advice....

But I have a question about the actual topic. It says should you AUF before or after the PLL. Well don't you most of the time have to AUF before the PLL, because you only know how to execute the PLL from one angle? So wouldn't you have to AUF so the PLL is in the right angle you have to exeute it, and then maybe AUF after you execute the PLL? So this thread is about AUF after or before the PLL. Wouldn't most of the time you have to do it before and after?

Well you could also AUF so the PLL is in the right spot where it should be, and rotate the cube so it's in the right angle for you to execute it. I think Yu Nakajima does this.

I think AUF mostly both times is faster because a U face turn is more faster than a cube rotation.... this is just a hypothesis...

I do first, because I have an easier time recognizing the PLL that way. Also a little OCD trait of mine.

the problem i'm having is not only do i have to AUF but also make a cube rotation... how do i improve on this??
