(Help thread) 3BLD making regular solving worse

[Cuban_Cuber]

Since I've been practicing 3BLD so much the past week or so, I feel like my ability to do regular solves has deteriorated. It might just be all in my head but it feels like I'm over/undershooting turns more, getting more lock ups, and my turning and finger tricks feel sort of choppy. Does this happen to anyone else?

When I practice 3-bld, I felt this same thing. I didn't like it one bit.

How did you recover your prior proficiency? Just time and practice?

This just sounds like you let your fingertricks and turning accuracy get sloppy because you aren’t looking at the cube.

It's a possibility, but I tend to turn more accurately during 3BLD to avoid mistakes.

Do you actually though? If you can, you should record video of your solves and see how your turning looks vs feels. Many people lose a lot of their reference points when doing things with their eyes closed compared to with their eyes open, even as simple as walking a straight line.

I often do record my 3BLD solves however I don't review them all that often. I'll try recording some and taking a closer look at my turning.

I have a simple fix for it. I have a different cube and mindset when I am doing 3BLD and doing 2H solves.
