[Unofficial] OH Average of 5:36.12 Tips for improvement?

[ZamHalen]

Description
Pretty good average for me. I need to get used to Guhong for OH. Any help on algorithms or turning is welcomed.

Woah i thought you average was 5:36.12 for a second
I think getting a smaller cube like the alpha mini would help as it has helped me a bit. The Guhong seems a big OH cube for me.
Oh and try optmising your algs to as fast as possible.
Yay for green cross ^.^

At this point I would suggest just practicing executing your LL algs and (yes it sounds obvious) just practice more OH. You can turn much faster and more smoothly with practice. It won't seem like such an awkward motion.

As opposed to the previous post, I would not recommend getting a smaller cube. Whatever you might gain from it being smaller is generally negated by its inability to turn as smoothly. These are only my personal findings, of course, and if you find you're better with a smaller cube, go for it.

Thank you for watching, but I am sorry to tell you that it is clear that you only payed attention to my first solve (which was honestly very lucky). Therefore you may see less problems. Also, I personally have long fingers (my index and pinky are about the same length) so a big cube actually fits more comfortably in my hands.

@kian
Thank you for the tips, though practice is tiring and I can only manage to do one average of 12 a day (and that's if my tendinitis, which is partially due to OH practice, doesn't act up.) I plan on practicing my plls and a few olls just for OH more often.

Thanks for watching and giving tips.

First solve was DAMN lucky.
Really, you need just to increase your finger speed. F2l looks ok for now.

For practicing, try practicing just some moves or move combos, it really helps.
Also, stretch hand before OH.
