If it's off-tensioned you can take the cube apart, but leave the center pieces screwed into the core. Pull the centers away from the core and see which center piece is too loose/tight. When all 6 are equal you can reassemble, then +/- tensions with equal screwdriver turns on each center.

I'm teaching someone to solve a 3x3 using M2 and Old Pochmann. (with his eyes open) Then I'm planning on teaching him how to incorporate that into BLD solving once he learnes it well. Is this a good approach? Are there any disadvantages?
P.S. I'm just teaching him the modified y-perm, an r-perm, and the U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U parity algs.

Is the lubix guhong worth the extra like 8 dollars
@PC99:
I'm assuming he/she knows how to solve a 3x3 normally right? Or are you teaching him/her how to solve a 3x3 normally with a BLD method? If that's the case, I wouldn't recommend it since it's more confusing and boring compared to a more intuitive approach like LBL, so it's easier to lose interest and not move to BLD at all.
If he/she does know how to solve it already though and you're just teaching BLD, that approach is fine. The three steps I'd recommend for teaching BLD would be: Practicing with eyes open and looking at the cube; Writing down the letters/numbers/whatever you plan on using for memorization and solve without looking at the cube (just following what you wrote); Fully solving BLD.

He doesn't know how to solve it yet. I'm teaching him how to with his eyes open. I feel like it is pretty intuitive with setup moves and such for M2. And even the setup moves for Old Pochmann are intuitive. I think it is easier to learn than LBL. At least algorithm wise.

Anyone know a good, easy to understand Blindfold tutorial? Thanks beforehand.
Many people start with badmephisto's youtube tutorial using "Old Pochman." That's where I learned...

Double bump for the first question, and bump to the second.

Though his memo system is awful. I think Erik Limeback's memo section (on youtube) is a lot better.

CP parity. Solve CP and fix parity in one alg, by checking the PLL of both layers. It's only an extra set of CP algs so it's not a lot to learn, and it cuts the number of 1look EPs by a lot

For the first question you can make your own with a printer and tape.

Ha no! I would be getting so much ass if that was me!
This is me!
