Old Pochmann

I learned Old Pochmann just to learn to do blindfolded but i'm starting to get serious into blindsolving. So i was wondering how fast can Old Pochmann get. Like sub-2 or sub-3 thanks

I think Dennis and Derrick got as far as around 1:00 single and 1:20-1:30 average. Faster is possible. Some videos:

Derrick 1:08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBUe59LYwVI

Getting sub-3 should be easy with some practice.

As I know Olivér Perge also uses Old Pochmann.

Or I don't know... Old Shatterhand, Old Firehand?!

Yes, i do.

With good memo sub-2 shouldn't be a problem. For me corners are slow though... :S

It's also worth mentioning that M2 is extremely easy to learn if you're already very familiar with Old Pochmann, and you gain a huge move count advantage and a decent speed advantage.

So basically, Old Pochmann can get very fast, but if you want to get faster M2 is a fairly easy step in that direction.
