How do you know Mats' fingertricks if you aren't Mats?

Gb and Gd ; i found these in Walkthroughs by Mats. Gd is also in Worlds2013 Final first solve.
Ga ; i found this in Mats' CR Avg's second solve and his 2K Subscribers video(2nd or 3rd solve) and also i asked him on Facebook.
Gc , 10Examples from WR Holder video's last solve :)

At this point, I feel like changing my finger tricks for certain cases would slow me down for a week. Anyone have experience with trying to do this?


But I like the videos, keep them coming!

I feel the struggle. I'm trying to do more U flicks with my left hand, but they are still very awkward for me, so I avoid them in speed solves. I've been trying to work them into my algs, but I always tend to forget and just do it with my right.

Practise! :). Pushing on the LBU, LBD, RBU, RBD stickers has been one of the most useful skills I learned - so many of my algs are smoother as a result. Same for F2L.

Ahhhh! I also use these G perms and I fingertrick the Ga the same way but my Gb is little different. I do the U and D' together. But you are faster than me so awesome :)
PS: I was thinking of showing my fingertricks for these. I will be making a video"PLLs used by me" so in that I will show! Waiting for Gc and Gd. If our fingertricks are same :)
PPS: I saw you ask Mats on facebook and you had commented the Ga video on his facebook page :) Nice job!

Put into fingertrick notation (as a test for those interested).

Ga (regular notation): R2 U R' U R' U' R U' R2 D U' R' U R D' (the first D move isn't very visible in the video because your ring finger hides behind your index finger.)
Ga (fingertrick notation): {TD} R2 U(i1) R' U(I2) R' U'(i1) R U'(i1) R2(I2) D(r4) U'(i1) R' U(I2) R D'(r4)

Gb (regular notation): R' U' R U D' R2 U R' U R U' R U' R2 D
Gb (fingertrick notation): {TF} R' U'(i1) R U(I2) D'(r4) {TD} R2 U(i1) R' U(I2) R U'(i1) R(M3) U'(i1) R2 D(r4)

Gc (regular notation): R2 F2 R U2 R U2 R' F R U R' U' R' F R2
Gc (fingertrick notation): {TU} R2' F2(I2, M2) R U2(I2, M2) R(R3) U2'(i1, m1) R' F(I2) R U(I2) R' U'(i1) {TF} R' F(I2) R2 U'(i1)

Gd (regular notation): R U R' U' D R2 U' R U' R' U R' U R2 D'
Gd (fingertrick notation): {TD} R U(I2) R' U'(i1) D(r4) R2 U'(i1) R(I3) U'(i1) R' U(I2) R' U(P2) R2 D'(R3)

Others come when videos come.

I feel the struggle.... I've been trying to work them into my algs, but I always tend to forget and just do it with my right.
Yeah, force of habit is hard to break. I've actually had to change my fingertricks a few times because my old way wasn't fast enough. It is a struggle, but it's worth it in the end.

I have sort of the opposite problem, lefty U flicks came to me naturally, but whenever I do big cubes I have to mentally stop myself from trying to lefty flick Us because I always fail them.

I have a similar problem with A perms. I use to pinky ring finger D2 but it is uncomfortable and locky. Still ring middle D2 feels like a bad habit even though it is way faster. I keep forcing myself to use pinky ring though. So yay for me on sticking with it I guess.

why? i have been using middle-pinky for as long as i know, and it works just fine.
(but i do actually like the A-Perms with U2 better nowadays. i use them both)
