Holding the cube while solving

[iSpinz]

Update: I changed up the way I hold the cube, of course I am very slow since it feels awkward and I am still learning however, the execution is already much smoother. I think with some practice the simple act of turning and executing algorithms will help a great deal. I also notice that it helps with looking ahead, I am not focused as much on my hands so I am able to spend that focus on looking ahead. All that being said, I can see that I will need to work on this, not as easy as you experts make it look!

Don't worry, as you practice it will become easier and more finger tricks will come naturally.

Is the video okay? Is there anything specific you were looking for?

Here you go. I just did some slow algs and fingertricks for demonstration.
(Video)

We do our algs so differently wow.

You use the same ones?

Actually yes.

So far the video has been helpful, I am still taking some notes, I will need to practice a bit before I can really come up with some examples that are problematic. So far, it has helped quite a bit! I plan on practicing tomorrow so I will have a more detailed update. Of course, I realize that the execution is a matter of practice so the overall feel and number of lockups has greatly improved, the speed will come with practice.

Does anyone else do there T Perms with alternating the left index and middle finger for U'?

So far i am improving however, I had to review few algorithms since I knew them from muscle memory, that only took a short time though. The B, M, M', and B' movements still do not come easy. I timed myself and did ok however, I still need a bit of practice to get used to holding the cube differently.
