Hi, I'm currently learning all PLLs, got 10 more to learn.
The ones with little letters are looking quite daunting.
Any tips that will help me learn PLLs, any general tips?
Such as how many to learn a day or something, tips on memorisation?
Thanks :)
 
learn 1 a day. keep practicing throughout the day, right before bed, then again first thing in the morning.
If you don't like wide turns (aka u', r, l') you could always just convert it to normal turns. V perm - R' U R' d becomes R' U R' U' y

If you wanna watch his website and him talking about his algs watch it all, otherwise skip to 3:30

But that's slow :(

I've seen that video before, but that was ages ago.
Watching it now really helped, thanks all.


You've shown me that in another thread and it was massive help, thanks :)

There's nothing wrong with learning a bunch of algs at a time. Back when I was learning PLL, I learned about half of them within a few days, right before a competition. I didn't have any problems recalling the algs either. :p As long as you take enough time as you want for each one, you can do more than one per day.
 
I just wanted to emphasize that fast pll recognition is just as important, if not more important, than executing the algs fast.

I have no problem executing them fast, takes a couple of seconds to recognise though.
That should be fine with more practice.
 
I learned the PLLs in about 2 weeks, drilling LL+LS cases and practising reaction time. However, I left out the G-perms. I kind-of regret that now considering they pop up 22% of the time ideally. I still use two algs for them, but there's no space in between so it's like one long algorithm, similar to how the Y-perm is made of two OLLs right next to each other.

I don't suggest learning from just one place. If you don't really like an algorithm that you use, just find a different one from either the Speedsolving wiki, Lucas Garron's PLL page, or any other places you can find from Google searching "PLL algorithms".
