finger tricks/ practice sets

[doubleyou]

I just started OH cubing and I am deffinatly gonna stay with it.
I got Cross and F2L algs pretty much down. but I find LL way harder and almost impossible especially when I get cases I just learned two handed.

well I think I can figur this out myself, but I was thinking if you had some nice moves like c/e pairs, or special grips (for M or M' or F,F')

I believe cube rotation is very useful when OH, what do you think about this? / converting moves from F or U to L' or so..?

OH rocks! all new fingertricks to learn! ^^

EEK- do not do M moves! Learn a different alg for M heavy cases.

You want to basically stick with L, U, and R turns. Everything else can be converted to such with a cube rotation. To do something like FR, turn to cube to the side, pull (rotate as you're pulling), and then pull again. You're always in a state of half rotations - and because of the speed of 1h, you should be able to see the rotations a couple of turns ahead.

how do you handle the following algs?

Sune. I do RUR'UR with pointer (I start by placing pointer on top of the UBL piece.) then U2 with ring and middle finger and R' with pointer.

c/e pairs

1st case RU'R'. pointer pulls R from the back of the DBL piece, then U' with ring finger keeping the pointer ready for R' push.

2nd case RUR'. re-view lFl'. hold the cube only on the R side and pull l with pointer the F with thumb and continue with l' with thumb again. to use the thumb is a little awkard to begin with but becomes easier in time.

Sune: That's basically when I do, but I have bad habits. The correct way is to do it from the back: LU'L'U'L - notice you use two fingers instead of just one.

Edit: Or actually, reverse sune would probably be more correct. Blah, I work so much on the hard OLLs that I don't pay any attention to the easy ones.
