finger tricks- how?

[maybenoobcuber]

hello, I just wanted to know what finger everybody uses when turning F and B. I have a hard time trying to turn them, and I end up just turning them with my hand. I would also like to know how to grab the cubes in various algorithms.

For f I use my first finger right hand. For B I use 3rd finger right hand.

In BLD, I avoid F move setup or interchange.

In CFOP and Roux, I do F with first or second finger.

thanks! I'll probably use that.

I usually would use my index finger, but it can vary depending on algs or stuff to make algs more efficient

It’s Variable depending on the alg. F is always right index finger and F’ I usually use my right thumb but you can left index it or even push with right index

It really depends on the grip in current situation.
e.g. doing R F R' from home grip I will use right ring finger push for F (making it effectively indistinguishable from Lw D Lw')

It depends on the situation. I recommend watching a variety of sources by people with a reputation for fast algorithm execution such as Brian Sun and, of course, Alex Davidson. Also, check out how they fingertrick in solves by playing the video very s l o w l y. Make sure you not only watch the videos but learn from them, grasp the fundamentals so you can figure it out intuitively. Experiment as much as you can.
