Don’t think there really is a way. I mean, there are always ways, but unlike F, it’s just more efficient to regrip and act like it’s D in almost every situation.How do I do B or B’ without regrip? Is there a way?

I think that if you use an OLL with a B move and a rotation, you just need to switch algs.Agreed. the only algorithm I use B or B' is the OLL R' U' R U' R' U y' R' U R B, but that's because my hand is already at the correct position to do the B move.
Thanks! Don’t know why I couldn’t figure that out by myself, but it really helped. BTW, I do use roux and had trouble with inserting the first back left block. Thanks again
Oh you're welcome!! Btw there's a space between the two words in my username.Thank you CubingForever for the video and comments. I will study them.
f R f' U' r' U' R U M'R U R2 U' R' F R U R U' F' seems like a pretty good alg.
the only algorithm I use B or B' is the OLL R' U' R U' R' U y' R' U R B
This alg without the rotation is already RUF: R' U' R U' R' U F' U F R.I think that if you use an OLL with a B move and a rotation, you just need to switch algs.
I am a slow-learning beginner, and I want to start learning finger tricks so that I can turn a little bit faster, but not so fast that I have to learn a lot of long algorithms at this early stage of my journey.
The Sune is very important in the basic methods I use, but I find it hard (whether using the ring finger or my pinkie for the second U). I want to try to use the left forefinger to do U, as they seem to work OK for me when needed for particular algorithms, but that clearly needs practise. After some research, I think this is what I want to do (below), but please tell me if you think it is not so good and why.
Home grip is where you have both thumbs at the front, and in general, most last layer algs are meant to be executed starting and ending in home grip, without any regrips. In home grip, both of your hands are in position to do U, U' and U2 moves, which allows you to spread the load across your hands better and avoid overworking one hand.I think it is because I use a different grip than what Jperm did in his video. My thumb is at the bottom and the forefinger and ring fingers re on top of the cube at the start. His grip (starting with the thumb at the front) is unnatural for me to do especially with the next U.
If you're starting in home grip, double Sune is a bit better than double Antisune.For double Sune, I actually recommend doing double Antisune instead(R U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U' R').
something i did when i was learning the MU u perms was doing a quick L, R', or L', R. From there you can slowly work yourself up to using you middle finger to push back the layer. but the thumb trick will not be good in the future, you should probably not do it.Does anyone else find the M move hard to do fast? I am right handed and I have watched the finger trick video. I have tried using the ring finger (hopeless), and the forefinger (OK but awkward and it takes time for the finger to recover for the next time, esp when it has to do a U). I ended up using the thumb, which is also OK but slow as the grip changes too much. Just now, I thought of doing this, using M'3 instead of M, using in turn the pinkie, ring and middle finger. It's also slow but seems OK, and I like the flow when doing it, i.e not as jerky as when I have to do an M, using whichever finger. What do you think? For example, for U-PERM, I can do
M'2 U' M'3 U'2 M' U' M'2
Using M'3 for U-Perm A is a little less satisfactory, as the right hand is used for all the turns until the M'3. Any advice? Are there alternatives ways of doing these U-Perms, hopefully they also have M' turns, which is fun to do.
I have been doing all my M2 flicks as M'2 flicks, i.e. using the right hand only. I think it's time for me to look at finger trick details seriously. No wonder my TPS is so low.Also, if you do a right handed U perm, then that means you do the M moves and M2 flicks with you left hand. For example of Ub, which algorithm I use is M2 U M U2 M' U M2, you start with a M2 flick with your left hand using ring and middle fingers, U with right index, left middle finger pushes back of M layer upwards for M, U2 flick with right hand, M' with middle finger push in the back downwards, U with right index finger, M2 flick with right hand.

Put your middle finger on the DB edge and push. please don't do M'3 moves in U perms. It's slowDoes anyone else find the M move hard to do fast?
