I was having a lot of trouble with E-perms until I watched that video and relearned my E-perm. My cube would deform and lock up when I was doing U and D' with my right hand and U' and D with my left hand.

I don't even use that E-perm but it looks like it's the one everybody uses... Maybe I should try it.

Yes it's fast. I use it in Roux for diagonal swap. It consists of two common used OLL's. Or in other words of two nice comms.

It's more of a pull... push action. It works well for e-perm and a number of the RUD algs.

PLL attack 48.25. Any faster oldies?

I've never done one but I think it would be cool for a sup-40 cuber to do sub-40.
I won't try it whilst on the train. I am sure it WOULD annoy everyone in the carriage!

I don't think I could do them all without visually seeing the cases. I'd get something messed up.PLL attack 48.25. Any faster oldies?

Not even close. I'm about 1m 15s when I don't DNF it.

I have never tried either but the problem you describe is what I suffer with OLL. My muscle memory triggers by the visual stimulus of the OLL and if I ever hesitate I'm already lost, at least with like than half of them (the less common). On the other hand, PLLs do not seem to rely so much in visual cues so, you can tell me "do an E-perm", or F-perm or whatever and I could easily do the alg... as long as you don't want me to do it slowly, then I'm lost again. I thought that would have improved with OH but, curiously enough I seem to only be able to do PLLs slowly with one hand and not with two hands (again, this is only true for part of my PLLs). It's like the memory of the same PLL for OH and 2H is completely different.

How about a race to sub-42? Because 2 sec per alg, and life the universe and everything.I've never done one but I think it would be cool for a sup-40 cuber to do sub-40.

That sounds really cool! I might try but really doubt I can finish. Do you do an order that ends with it solved? Recommend any order?

Is there a way to like a post more than once? Because your post deserves at least... 42 likes
Because, you know, every hitchhiker needs his/her own guide to the galaxy.On a more serious tone... how do you go about doing those PLL attacks? Do you do the algs in a certain order? Like alphabetical or something? I'm sure I'd beat your times because I would forget to do half the PLLs

So true. I used to think running is a nice cheap hobby, but you can get quite a lot of cubes for the price of a pair of decent running shoes.
My first post was October 21st, at that time I was barely sub-1 minute. Exactly 2 months later, December 21st, I posted results close to 30 seconds. Hah, wow, didn't realize progress was that fast until I looked at the dates just now! I did do a lot of solves in those 2 months though. After that, I had a 4 month break and picked up the cube again late April to finally break the 30 second barrier.
I was thinking about switching to some other PLL as well for diagonal swap in 2-look PLL. Might look into the Y-perm again. I should probably learn that one next anyway.

I've tried that funny business of pushing with the back of my nail and it's hopeless. I have pretty poor control of my ring and little fingers as it is (I don't use my little finger independently at all).
PLL time attack in 42s is impressive. I won't be trying it.

I think my fastest was a 42.xy or 43.xy.

I was going to say exactly thatDo some OH... you'll learn
OH is a really good training for your left pinky or ring (even though almost everyone will recommend you to use pinky and not ring for R/R'). Well, that's in case you choose your left hand for OH.

Ring is for D/D'
