[Unofficial] Pretty funny DNF + 21.91 OH average of 12 by blah (Advice needed!)

[blah]

The DNF is at Solve 7 (2:27).

Video description:

Normal average. Non-rolling.

No U, Z, or A perms in this average :/ There was an N perm, which I still haven't learned, so I had to set it up into a J perm.

There were three solves with no edges oriented during OLL, which just sucks. There was another one where I didn't know the OLL so I had to do 2-look OLL

This is not one of those "hey everyone look at me because I'm so good" videos.

I'm really frustrated at my lack of progress in OH and I really want some advice from the pros. Please watch the video and tell me what it is I need to improve on. I've done my best not to waste your time, that's why I've cut all the scrambling and inspecting before each solve.

Other than the strange absence of U, Z, and A perms in this average, everything else is pretty normal - 21.91 isn't too good, nor is it bad. I guess the easy OLLs kinda balanced things out.

Nice job!

I'm no pro, but i did notice that you didnt use any double triggers. I think they help a lot, especially with that H perm.

I use pinky-ring double triggers (probably not clear in the video, but you can hear it). Way more useful than index-middle double triggers in my opinion.

I think it's important to note this means you've submitted this for a very small audience. There are only 23 people who have ever beaten this average in competition, and most of those aren't very active in the forum. It seems like there are only 5 or 6 people who would respond, and half of those aren't that much better than you.

I'm really curious to see what those few people have to say, though!

You mean 56? Which is considerably more than 23. Interestingly, Dan did not beat this average

Ugh. I got caught again by the thing where the webpage defaults to just 2010 now. Yeah, you're right - sorry.

Maybe you just reached top of your possibilities? You know, you can't improve all the time. That's my opinion, I might be wrong.

a bigger cube doesn't work. My fingers are too far away from the cube as it is, due to the size of my palm.
