Looking ahead all the time?

[Inusagi]

I know what Look Ahead means, but do not know if I should use it in LL.

When I am doing the last pair of f2l, should I look ahead for the OLL? And When I am doing OLL, should I lookj ahead for the pll?

 

[Dcuber]

Well yea...
on the last f2l pair, it should be pretty easy to recognize the oll situation
but after PLL, It's kind of confusy to look ahead
since u have to adjust the U face

But Looking ahead is what ur aiming for

 

[Inusagi]

So that means that I should look ahead for the OLL, but not the PLL?

He said: Try to always look ahead, but of course it's quite difficult for PLL, but what else do you do during the 1-2 seconds of OLL execution?

 

[DanHarris]

I am not able to recognise the PLL case during OLL, kudos to those that can. I rely on fast execution of the OLL and very fast recgnition of PLL. However, it is something I really need to improve to be as good as the best guys. THe thing to remember is that the LL requires a different tack to the F2L, look ahead becomes way less important, speed of turning becomes the most important thing.

Yeah, after PLL, I can't recognize the solved position...

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

All you do is remember the position of the PLL at the beginning so you know how to turn the U face...

I should help your timings a little if you look ahead for last layer. When doing OLL, I sometimes try to look for blocks that start to appear for PLL recognition.

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

On the OLLs, you can look for blocks of colors and see where they appear on PLL.
For example:
All the cubies on the R face of the top layer all appear on the L face of the top layer for the OLL: R' U' R' F R F' U R, so if you see a block there, you can look ahead easily.

hahahahhahh thats hilarious
