@BenChristman1 You really need to work on your EOline/cross. Try getting EOline to 6 moves and EOcross to 9 moves. That's where ZZ really becomes worth it! Use EOline for OH and EOcross for 2H. EOline for 2H has bad ergo and limits tps. Ergo and TPS isn't as big as a problem in OH, so EOline is better in that respect. Try influencing line/cross while doing EO so that it will be more efficient! Also, try practicing EO recognition and get it down to around 3 seconds. That way, you can be full dual color neutral.

P.S. Don't listen to J Perm (YTber) on ZZ, he only uses EOline which is bad for 2H.
