[Help Thread] One-Handed Solving Discussion

[MoyuFTW]

I can imagine that being the dominant way in the future. However, it requires large hands so sorry all ya small-handed ones.

Do you mean that it takes large hands to do a pinky R'?
If so, then not really. My hand is about 7 inches wrist to middle finger so it's not that large. I can do it, but it took a lot of practice to get started. Another option is a smaller cube

no, I meant ring R and pinky R' requires large hands.

 

[GuRoux]

damn, mines the same now. I remember we measured last year and mine was smaller. and yet I suck at OH

SCREENSHOTS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT lmao

man, you're always catching up to me. and i don't think big hands is an advantage at all, since small cubes are around.

lol small cubes, I've done OH with a 4x4x4 before

 

[sqAree]

Setup: R' F' R U R U' R' F U.

Say other F2L-slots are already solved, how to solve this case OH?
At the moment I do: U' z x U' R U R z' y' R U' R'.
Recommend using the F moves or something entirely different?

I either do what you did, or
R' U' R' U' R' U R U R

@SqAree:
The alg Guy posted is a good solution. Depending on what y orientation you have beforehand, the other obvious solution is
y' U' R' U' R U y R U R'

To be honest I prefer doing the alg with rotations. It's less awkward to do, all the R' makes my pinky hurt. And also because of habit from the beginners method

I only use the 2gen one when it's the last slot all edges are already oriented, or when doing my preferred solution results in a dot case.

Splits:
FB: 6-7
SB: 7-8
CMLL: 5-10 depending on case
LSE: 10

What should I work on?

LSE, work on fingertricks, LSE is usually the highest tps for me since it's just 2 gen and easy lookahead.

 

[Killbox]

the only problem im having in one hand is doing U moves.U' is a simple move with index finger,but with U you kinda hav to move it backward which is kind of awkward.Is there a better way any one knows of?

 

[sqAree]

There are generally two ways to do U OH: Push index at FLU or at LBU.

I personally find the second way awkward / my finger is too small / my cube not lubed properly, so I always do the first one and you'll get used to it really fast.

 

[SenorJuan]

Pushing LBU is easy enough, and it can blend nicely into a UR' (or LU' done as zUR'), if you do your R' with your index finger.

In theory it would be nice to be skilled at both U methods, it gives you more versatility.

 

[K3lpBoy]

I'm just getting into OH, and I'm wondering if it's fine to use CFOP for OH.

 

[sqAree]

Roux, CFOP and ZZ are all good methods for OH (not sure about Petrus but in theory it should work as well).

 

[Petro Leum]

so right now my splits for Onehanded are:
9.16s F2L
3.95s LL
is this a good proportion, or is there something i should exclusively focus on?
note: i do ZZ, so F2L includes EO, and LL is basically ZBLL.

If the splits are fine, i could work out splits for the details, like EOLine, blocks, Last slot+COLL, EPLL and stuff

you new you know ZBLL?

 

[Bindedsa]

I'm pretty sure Petro knows full ZZLL, unless he's learnt a ton of algs recently, he doesn't now full ZBLL.

Arghhh. How do you guys just 'know' the algs for OH immediately after learning them for 2h? It took me like a month just to do a T perm for OH

 

[Petro Leum]

you new you know ZBLL?

i know almost full ZZLL (except a few sune cases), full 2GLL, a bunch of random ZBLLs and mirrors, and a few CLS algs and stuff like that. i usually go with COLL+EPLL or Sune+PLL if nothing cool applies

EDIT: TO OLLiver

Well, i only have designated onehanded algs for very few ZZLLs, and there are a few ZZLLs which i dont do onehanded due to how bad they are.... but most are usable
