Practice, and then after you practice, more practice.

I also recommend Going slow and looking ahead for practice solves!


You could also upload a video, so we can have better knowledge of where you're struggling at (other than speed!). Review (or go see for the first time) badmephisto's F2L videos for many tips and tricks. Download his PLL Trainer to practice your PLL speed as well.
Do R U solves too, which are when you scramble the cube using the R and U faces, and then solve it using those two faces. You have 2 F2L pairs, the cross already made for the OLL, and edges only PLLs. Your chances of a skip go up a lot.

Also, you can get something like a F2L trainer cube with the base colors of the cubies as your U face...

Just buy another DIY cube with the base color as your U layer (E.G. if you solve yellow as your LL, get a yellow base cube... Don't put stickers on it!)
After you do that, just take out all of your normal U pieces and replace them with the different color pieces with no stickers...
Scramble and solve, it can help you track the pieces around and get faster on F2L (which is what everyone needs help on XD)

You know full OLL and PLL with a good f2l lookahead yet you're only averaging 27? I use a two step OLL and was averaging 23. I think you might need to work on your LL alg speeds. Try learning all the fingertricks for all your LL algs and PLL time attack like crazy!!! That really helped me.

Good Luck!!

your look ahead is not good enough. i can sub-25 using beginner method for f2l.

Let's say you take 6 seconds to do last layer (which is a generous time). That means your f2l is 20 seconds, which is not very fast. As someone said earlier, try going slow and looking ahead. Time your f2l and try to get it to 14 seconds. (Actually a 14 second f2l should get you sub-20, but it's important to aim for a fast goal)

I'm 2 look OLL and Full PLL and my average is lower than 27.5.. I think the problem either with your F2L or execution speed of the LL algs

look ahead is good? you must have decided that yourself or you are turning really (really) slow so that you can just look ahead. Yes Practice is the key.

Your lookahead is obviously not good enough. Keep practicing.

Practice F2L. F2L is the key.

Either that or switch methods. CFOP is so overused nowadays.
