Hey guys,
right now i use fridrich/VH F2L so every time I hit the last layer I get a cross and I also do 2 Look PLL.
At the moment I have memorized 10 PLL algorithms and I'm still learning PLL algorithms.
I get Sub 35 Averages and I just achieved my first sub 30 average a few days ago.
Should I learn OLL?

Thanks
 
I think you should learn and master full PLL before starting learning OLL. When you have increased your average to something between 20 and 25 you should consider learning full OLL. This is just my opinion but this is the way I did/do it (Still learning OLL).
 
Go for full pll first. it cuts your times way more the oll. and then I recommend getting your f2l below 15 secs ALL the time. well... 9/10 solves you f2l should be below 15 at least. And then slowly start learning the oll cases. there are a lot that are similiar and easy to recognize. But.. there are quite a few cubers out there getting sub15 without full oll. soo... No/yes you should. meaning You don't have to learn oll as fast as possible... but it's up to you. If you are satisfied with your f2l times. go ahead and learn pll. but if your looking to get faster times. oll isn't really going to cut it for as much for the length of time it takes to learn all the cases. if you want to cut your time. work on f2l. it can always be improved Over time you can advance yourself to more cases. But f2l is really a place to cut your time.
 
If you have the edges oriented everytime you get to the LL I don't see much of a point in learning full OLL, unless what you're calling full OLL is the 7 edges oriented cases. You might want to learn some COLL cases eventually, but I would get full PLL first.

Well yes i always have all the edges oriented (inituatively).

What i meant by full OLL is learning all of the OLL cases because I heard and read around the forums and from people i know that it is faster than my method at the moment.

I am considering learning COLL sometime too.

Thanks everyone above that replied, I am going to work on Full PLL and maybe after either OLL or COLL
 
Definitely finish PLL and get good at it. I average 18 - 20 seconds and I only know about 20 OLLs, but my F2L saves the suckishness of my LL. (12 second F2L, and 7 sec LL [3 for OLL and 4 for PLL])
