I am familiar with the great man's work, but still don't see how to best execute this particular sequence without regripping or using the left hand. DO you start with RH fingers at the front, thumb at the back or is there some well known fingertricky sequence that applies here?

How to execute PLLs in around 1 second?

Step 1: choose good algs
Step 2: Hold the cube in a good position

and Then what?

I am practising a lot but it takes me 3-4 seconds for some cases and sometimes the cube slips out....

3. do the alg
4. repeat step 3 a lot

ok.............thanks a lot.........anything else to help me???

Practice. And stop creating new threads.

Yeah, TPS really just comes from doing it a ton of times. Just drill the alg over and over. That's about it, there isn't any secret to doing it.

I think there's a little more than just doing it over and over - that's of course what you need to do but I think it can help to consciously know what you need to practice, mainly I'm talking about pauses. You want to identify what's making it slower than you want. When you execute a PLL (or any alg you want to improve), as you do it concisouly try and identify where any pauses are (even .25-second pauses, for example) and then try and figure out the reason - I think a lot of times adjusting youf fingering (which is different for everyone, so you have to try things and find out what feels/works best for you) can smooth out a pause. Another way to identify pauses is to record yourself doing the alg. I think once you can smooth it out and reduce pauses the execution of the alg overall becomes and feels better and this will in turn improve both TPS and execution time (execution time = TPS + pauses).

I like your advice

hope it helps! This is something I also need to do more of... it has helped me in the few PLL's I've done it on (need more time to cube!!!)

Look at Badmephisto's 'how to execute ?-perm like a pro' videos.

They really helped me figure out the best way to do some algs I was having trouble with.

Sorry, my bad.

Does anyone have suggestions to speed up execution (for algorithms and such)? I've realized some of my OLL and PLL algs take me over 3 seconds to execute.

Just constantly drilling it with no pauses. Alternatively, you could look for some better algs in algdb.net or similar.

lol I thought your location meant Moldova haha
Umm speeding up algs.....Drilling?

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

wow this thread title is misleading. "execution" implies how long it takes to do the solving portion in blindsolving. something like "how to increase turning speed" would be more appropriate.

To do algs faster you can:
1. learn the best algs
2. find a comfortable way to execute it (this may take a while, watching pll execution vids helps)
3. drill
4. this is very important: work on recognition. you dont want to be pausing for like 3 seconds between steps.
