Problem recognizing PLLS

[YrMyKnight]

I've just started speedcubing with an average of 49.77 sec out of 5.

I've started learning full PLLS

The problem I see is that I have trouble recognizing them.

It usually takes me a while to find out which algorithm I need to use.

Is there a solution?
Or do I need more practice?

Thanks.

Just practice. Recognition comes with time. However remember it's in patterns, not colors.

This is a great vid on some tips to help recognize PLL's, though it's long, and contains a lot of info so watch it a few times and maybe take some notes. Remember, turn slow and look ahead. Happy Cubing -]

Recognizing the PLLs

When you practice use get better as you get more used to it.

This may help

I made this a little while ago and uploaded it. I made it specifically for when I was at the same stage. Hope it helps.

I had this problem last month when I just learnt the PLLs, first of all you won't get it straight away, it takes time. Now I can recognise a G perm sometimes by looking at 2 sides (its like a 1/2 chance but yeah), for example a T perm is easy to recognise, headlights with opposite colour in between and looks like a T

Thanks all ^^

Don't worry about it. Just continually do them until it seems that you can execute it the moment someone gives you a cube with PLL to go. Personally, I know full PLL and almost full OLL, and I average roughly 20 seconds.

as may people have already mentioned by constantly solving your cube your mind will naturally develop its own ways to recognize cases and you will be very familiar with them, so take it slowly dont be discouraged and the results will come
