Blindsolving Discussion and Help

I have a fear of starting the execution without putting on the blindfold as I tend to just look away or sometimes close my eyes in practice.

Yeah me too. I never use BF for 3BLD practice. In comp I try to wear it low so it irritates my eyebrows and is partly in my vision, to remind me it's there :)

Good idea!

Does anyone have any tips for dealing with sloppy execution? Now that I'm speeding up a little a lot of my DNFs look like scrambled cubes. I sometimes catch myself using random moves for setups . Please don't tell me to slow down .
 
My stickerless thunderclap v2s have the logo embedded into the center cap. It's not as easy to feel as a sticker logo, but I can distinguish it by feel if I feel carefully. Does this mean they are not legal for bld? That would be terrible because I just bought a bunch of them for mbld
 
I started with BLD not too long ago, but it's going pretty well. I currently use M2/OP and can consistently do single 3BLD. I've done 3/3 and 3/4 Multi as well as successful 4BLD. I want to do 5BLD but I can't find a midge parity that makes sense to me. I have done several sighted solves but if I get parity, I'm done for. I would like to solve + centers, x centers, wings, midges, and then corners (so my lazy OP corners don't mess with my centers) but every parity method I've found is for a different solving order and I'm not sure it would work. Can anyone help me here?

I guess I should mention that I'm using M2 for midges

After doing last corner you can add extra corner UBR. It switches UBR and UBL and you can apply parity: F2 (Rr2 F2 U2 r2 U2 F2 Rr2) y PLLT L2. I do parity that way. Im not sure if I wrote it correctly.

I use the D' L2 D M2 D' L2 D parity fix after executing midges and before corners, for both 3BLD and 5BLD.

The problem in 5BLD is that you also have to swap the wings either side of the UL/UB midges. I do that by extending the above alg as follows:

D' L2 D M2 (F2 Rw2 F2 U2 r2 U2 F2 Rw2 F2) D' L2 D

Thank you both. I think I'm going to go with Mark's alg there as it won't require the additional corner target. Thanks again!
 
what's a good alg for DF RD DL?
I've been doing x z' U L' U' M' U L U' M z x'

i think this is my last bad 3style alg
