Pyraminx Fingertricks Video Request

[King Mike]

Hey guys.
My Pyraminx came in the mail yesterday
I avg around 1 min 30 with my the most basic method.

My TPS is PATHETIC because I'm a cube person.
Can anyone make a video on just fingertricks??

P.S: I also got my 2x2 and avg around 7 sec with OLL and PLL (I will learn CLL later).
After get ATLEAST sub 20 with Pyraminx I will go to my first comp!!

Thanks for the help!
Cube on!...uh...I mean...Pyramid on!

If you can go to a comp before that. I think the best way to figure out finger tricks are to a) practice. Really. b)really look at the algs you use and try figure out how you could do them more fluidly. Maybe instead of a regrip your can flick instead. Or maybe if you regrip instead of flicking it leaves you in a better position to do your next move

Learn a decent method like LBL and learn all of the last layer algorithms.

(after learning from this video, learn all of the last layer algorithms instead of doing what he does for last layer)

This video is good I believe, just try to recognize and execute those algs fast,

Also, when you're solving the tips, try to do 1 or 2 of them during the beginning of the solve as you do your first moves, and do the last 1 or 2 tips at the end of the solve.

Practice is obviously very important too.

Thanks everyone. I'll look into it.

You could start by practicing R' L R L' or L R' L R. Most people grip with right hand gripping right front tip, and left hand gripping left hand tip. Then use your wrists and perform the algorithms without taking your hands of the Pyraminx. Start out slowly and get a rhythm going, then progressively get faster. This sequence is like the sexy move of Pyraminxes, so I suggest you learn it well.
