How do you do M moves OH?

[thecubicwizard]

I'm trying to get faster at one-handed, for my competition soon in May, but I can't do M moves, only M' for some reason, but the M moves are too hard (yes I use table)
Does anyone know how to get a bit faster, maybe some tips in general and the M moves?

Edit: this is for H perm, z perm, U perms and also might switch to roux, so I just wanna be prepared

M is definitely harder than M',

one way to fingertrick is to do a push with your pinky finger on the FD sticker, but yeah it takes a lot of practice to get the ideal force and used to the turning.
Also you have to use a table to lay down the DR edge.

DR edge? why would it be the edge? shouldnt it be the corner thats laying down?

The edge rests on the table at an acute angle, you can see the top roux solves to get an idea about what I am talking about yo.

The way I usually do M moves is with r’ R. I’m not really a good OH solver, but this little work-around has worked for me quite well so far. I think this is fine as long as you still use cfop, once you switch to roux you should probably learn what @abunickabhi suggested

alr alr.. I'll try it out ty!

When I actually did OH what I did was holding the cube at a 45° angle against the table and pushing down on the UB edge with my index

my hands are so small that's impossible but I'll try it out later today, probably in school break since I gtg to school rn lol

You could try looking at an algset specifically for OH solvers that doesn't include any M or S moves if you find them to be easier. Here are some algsets that Feliks made: Cubeskills | Other Algorithms

The U Perms that are 2 gen (RU) are extremely good especially for OH and the algs are relatively easy to learn. I use these for 3x3 as well because I hate M moves. Definitely worth checking out

M move OH is not something you can do right away. You have to train the strength of your pinky. The muscles used are not often used in everyday life, so for most of us, it is too weak at first. Watch a video on a Roux OH solver explaining the fingertrick then practice a lot. Especially if you have smaller hands, it can take a while to develop.
