Blindsolving Failure Thread

So braindead from 8 attempts, my results:

DNF(1:41.26), DNF(2:16.05), DNF(2:51.10), DNF(2:57.81), DNF(3:27.04), DNF(3:56.41), DNF(2:25.02), 2:38.15, DNF(2:58.01), DNF(3:34.94)

... Time for a break.
 
19/21 (54:04) at Irish Open. Memo was about 32. I missed the last 2 cubes :fp
The second last cube I think I undid a setup move the wrong direction. The last cube I was really nervous for no apparent reason, and the cube was the worst one I had, so I popped. Managed to fix the edges correctly but unfortunately had lost my place in a Y perm.
 
29.91, DNF(14.23), DNF(38.19), 29.76, 40.90, 36.90, DNF(43.29), DNF(36.28)
did some solves tonight, this was the best part :|

I got a 24 earlier in the day but it was easy (1x2x2 block solved)
 
hey guys,
i am still contuing to fail at M2/OP, I'll do my scramble do my memo, figure out if theres parity most of the time i still get it wrong :( but anyway, I am at like a 10% success rate with M2/OP and thats worrible, specially when my OP success rate is like 80% or higher.
can anyone give me any advice because i video myself and i am having a hard time figuring out what im doing wrong. :(
thanks

Do you know exactly where you're messing up? Execution? Or just memoing wrong? Do a corners only solve and then do a edges only solve and see which is correct. Or try doing a solve with your eyes open and memo to see where you might have made a mistake in memo.

ive tried all of those, i believe its when im memoing, i get lost when i have parity. ive written my memo down then go through a practice solve using that memo, ill just read my memo and not look at the cube most of the time ill solve it just ok.
then ill rescramble and memo it then put on the blindfold, and some where along the solve i ends up not right, some times its my corners sometimes its edges. so idk? but its only when im trying to do M2/OP thats it.

M2/OP might not be your thing then. I use OP for corners and edges. You might have to take your time with memo and not rush it. Memo speed will come naturally. as it did to me.

ok so ive narrowed it down to my edges for sure, i believe its when im breaking into a new cycle, i think im forgetting that my M slice is M2 out, so when i shoot to a M slice spot i end up putting the edge in the wrong spot.
my left and right sides are good, its only the middle edges.
