OLL 23 Technique?

[advincubing]

I'm having a tough time with technique/finger-tricks for OLL 23:
(R2 D') (R U2) (R' D) (R U2 R)

Conversely, Bob Burton and Badmephisto do it with headlights toward them:

(R2' D) (R' U2) (R D') (R' U2 R')

Unlike with other algorithms, I just can't find a rhythm or way of breaking these down that make sense. The headlights-toward-me approach is slightly easier for me, but still clunky. Does anyone have a good technique that they can describe or maybe a good youtube video to point me to? Thanks.

R2'D' RU2R' D RU2R
Left ring for all D moves
If you confused i make video

Make the R2' in second alg R2
Use the two for different corner permutations

Headlights towards and Sune, anti-Sune?

 

[Noahaha]

R2
D (right ring)
R
U2 (double flick)
R'
D' (left middle)
R
U2 (double flick)
R

Thanks everyone for the QUICK replies!

Make the R2' in second alg R2

This simple change made a big difference for me. That makes it (R2 D) (R' U2) (R D') (R' U2 R').

Left ring for all D moves

Do you mean for the D', too? I definitely use my left ring for D, pulling toward the front. I can see how it's less choppy to use that for D', rather than breaking up the right hand moves. But using the left ring to push the back-down-left corner toward the right is mechanically hard/weird for me -- at least for now. I'll keep practicing.

Playing with the other suggestions now, too. Thanks again.

Woah! that is awesome, thanks Kir.

with a U in between

Woah! that is awesome, thanks Kir.

thank rob

Headlights towards and Sune, anti-Sune?

R U R' U R U2 R2 U' R U' R' U2' R

That's a good 2-gen alg.

with a U in between

Anti-Sune performed as R' U' R U' R' U2 R

yes D' too. you're welcome

Watch this video if you wonder how to do D' with left ring

R U R' U R U2 R2 U' R U' R' U2' R

That's a good 2-gen alg.

Certainly is. I had no idea. I'm not sure that's faster than (R2 D) (R' U2) (R D') (R' U2 R') (now that I have a better handle on technique) but it's interesting to see how to build a new OLL from two that I can perform effortlessly. Thanks!

 

[5BLD]

You can use them all for different CPs

 

[cubersmith]

Anti-Sune performed as R' U' R U' R' U2 R

ah, I see

 

[BlackStahli]

R U R' U R U2 R2 U' R U' R' U2' R

That's a good 2-gen alg.

I use that one for OH and bigger cubes. For 3x3, I just use (R2 D') (R U2) (R' D) (R U2 R) because the D move is so much easier to do than on OH or big cubes

 

[Kaboom]

I had trouble with that one too at first, but this helped me.

 

[EVH]

I like R U R' U' (R U' R' U2)x2 R U R'. With headlights on left.

 

[speedcubermicah]

I came up with this case yesterday, R' U' R U' R' U2 R2 U R' U R U2 R'

Let me know what you guys think! It's 2-gen so it had some pretty good potential, no awkward D moves.
