how do right handed OH cubers do R U R' U'? i don't feel comfortable doing it, since it takes a while. i would have to do R with my index finger, move my index finger so i can do U, then i would do R' with my index finger as well, and then U' with my ring finger. i need to know a way to fix this, so i can do it faster, but i don't know any other way =(
 
I'm a left handed cuber but I can do it alright with my right hand. I would suggest practicing using your pinky finger. Learn to turn the face both ways with the pinky. Then you just do a slight cube rotation to make U kinda like L and R kinda like U.
 
Currently I just do it by moving my hand from the right, to under the cube, then flick the R with my index finger, bring it up and do the U, back down and push up for the R', then U' with pinky. This is kind of slow though (this is how you currently do it right?). The best thing would just be to do a cube rotation, and do it as U L U' L'. The problem I have with this is, I like to do a L U' trigger with my pinky, then have to kind of turn my hand around anyway... I have a very short pinky though, so it makes it harder.

EDIT: Actually, if you could master it, and you have long fingers, a good way to do it would be rotate to U L U' L', and do R flick with index, L push up with pinky, U' with index by either pushing from RBU, or pulling from FRU, then L' flick with pinky. Yet again, you would need long fingers, but it could be done very fast that way (is that how you would do the mirror Lofty?)

yeah, that's what i pretty much do. i'll see what works best. i should start doing some PLL time attacks just to improve my OH =)
 
I am trying to actually do this with my right hand and it is kinda hard. But only because my right pinky is like half as dexterous as my left one is.
If I could do it well I would begin with the U flick thing we talked about in the other thread followed by a L with the pinky then the next 2 turns are pretty self explanatory.
