Badmephisto has a good OH tutorial.

 

[Gparker]

yes and so does thrawst

I don't like Thrwast's OH video. His other videos are good (BLD, Square-1, etc.) but he doesn't do a good job explaining his OH video.

i dont OH much but i thought his was good, but i hated his bld video. He really didnt explain things well enough for me

You're like me. I don't like pre-orienting, and you probably don't either. M2/R2 is much better for BLD in my opinion.

On topic, watch his video for OH to learn about the best kind of OH cube, but not how to actually do OH.

i dont ethier, i use M2/old pochmann

On topic, you can watch both and they both have helpful tips

badmephisto's oh video wasnt that good either, im a badmephisto fanboy but that simply wasnt one of his better videos.

Dude you don't need a tutorial to tell you how to solve a cube OH. Just pick it up and do it. It's the same as any other puzzle - if you want to get fast then practise a lot.

See http://www.speedcubing.com/chris/3x3onehand.html for general tips/tricks.

For OLLs: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/absolutemind/oll1h-angl.html
For PLLs: http://jmbaum.110mb.com/pll.htm
Or use any decent 2-gen (R and U) algs.

There are also videos of OLLs and PLLs here (I believe Yu Nakajima is involved in this account somehow) http://www.youtube.com/user/CUTEXcuber
In fact, someone just uploaded videos of a few OH OLLs there.

Another useful video would be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSncgGIvDCc

Of course practice is important, as someone that said he was about 20s in speedsolving I'm sure he knows that already. There's nothing wrong with getting some direction though.

Do not use Thrawst or Badmephisto. They just aren't good at OH. You can probably beat them yourself in like a month of practice.

Lofty (sub-18), Gilles VDP (sub-25 in the old days), and that crazy 36/51 MultiBLD guy (sub-20) are so much better at OH.
