Learning OLL's

[Uberdad]

I've finally learnt all the PLL's ( bar the G's currently ), and I feel I am ready to learn the full suite of OLL's. Is there any particular order I should learn them in?

I do know all the ones with a cross in it, and a couple of misc others.

Any help would be welcome.

easiest first

Yes, and if you find there's an annoying case that keeps coming up that you don't know the algo to, write it down on paper (draw it), and look up the algo.

One other tip, don't learn in groups, learn the easier ones first, like badmephisto said.

Also, try making up your own algos. Just take out a CE (Corner-Edge) pair, and re-insert it in a different way.
Here's an example: R U R' U' R' F R F'
R U R' U' -> taking it out
R' F R F' -> re-inserting in different way

I'm also starting my OLL's I've been stalling that until now. I know 23-25 cases already anyway and I can always skip the ones with no correct edges at all.
First, I'm learning the ones I can already recognize immediantly anyway.

I'm waiting until sub-20 to learn the rest of OLL

Any order. Maybe learn them in sets, like Bob has on cubewhiz.com. I learned them in sets (similar cases).

I learned mine from Joel's site, as you can learn a bunch of algs at a time. He groups them not by shape, but by alg type.

Thanks for the reply's. I will go look for Joel's site and go from there. Can't beleive I've never looked at the cubewhiz OLL page before.

EDIT: Just looked at Joel's page for first time. It's OLL page looks really helpful. Just what I was looking for. Thanks again.

I chose to first learn the 7 Edges Oriented OLLs, then I learned all the No Edges Oriented, my rationale being that they would give me the biggest payoff for the effort. Next, (being the lazy person I am) I learned all the short ones and the ones having lots of triggers. After that I looked at the probabilities on Dan Harris' page to find which of the remaining OLLs were the most likely to occur and learned them. Finally, I just had to grind through the rest by pure determination. 52 and 55 are still my worst ones.

Blgentry pointed out to me that learning any single No Edges Oriented would work for orienting all edges for any No Edges situation, but only in the actual case would solve the entire OLL, but knowing just that one, would guarantee a 3 look OLL because you'd never need a 2 alg cross. I believe he learned 17, but I would probably have chosen #2 since it has a 1/54 and the alg I chose is short and fast as it consists mainly of two "4 triggers": F (RUR'U') S (RUR'U') f'.

Learning all the No Edges Oriented algs guarantees a 2 look OLL.
