PLL Recognition

[Todd]

I have been a bit slack with my PLL lately, but i started learning a few new cases and now know a bit more than half of PLL cases.

But is there anything you can do to help the recognition of the particular case?

I find that i waste a few seconds on cases i am not too familiar with... even when its like a U perm or corner rotation somestimes i dont see it until i rotate the U face....

Any tips or something?

practice practice practice
if you do it enough you will start recognize cases really fast from only a few pieces and from different angles. I mean i suppose if you wanted you could set the case up on a cube and study it then set it up with a different color in the front and study it to get a feel for what it looks like... I wouldn't really recommend doing any more than just practice lol.

I agree with Lofy you just have to practise practise. And try to look at unique caracteristics of each case easy to recognise that will help

You can search for a Last Layer Trainer (I think it was actually called LLTrainer). It is an Excel-file that shows you two faces of a PLL and you have to see which PLL it is.

Here is the link if you are too lazy to look. ;P

Initially when I started learning PLLs ,I used to get confused and spend a while recognising the PLL I didnt know.But once you are done with all the PLLs recognition becomes much easier(At least you dont have to filter out PLLs you dont know).Other than that its just practise I believe.
