One-handed for beginners ?

[adragast]

Hello !

I was just wondering... Is is OK for someone like me (avg 35-40 seconds with two hands) to start solving the cube one-handed ? Or is it better to improve first my two-hand solvings ?

I definitely would start now, because you can get a head start on the guys who only started OH when they were faster!

My best two-handed average is 23.50 and my best one-handed average is 43.xx. Start early!

Heh, I started OH solving when I started solving the cube... At times you need one hand to hold onto something if you're standing up on a train or tram and if you feel the need to pass the time... a cube is hand

That is the same reason why I started to do one-handed. I need one hand on the steering weel in my car when I am in a traffic jam. The other hand was getting bored

I started OH cubing right after the Canadian Open, where I averaged 26-27 seconds, not much worse than 35. I usually got 1:30-2:00 OH then, and now 3.5 months later my best average is 32.2! You should start OH, it is really fun.

Thank you folks ! I will begin right now !

Yes, I definitely agree to start OH'ing almost directly after you can solve the cube 2 hands, that way you feel accustomed to it
