Even with ZBLL I can't sub 50 STM with ZZ maybe I need to get better at blockbuilding

Nah, sub50 isn't guaranteed even if you have zbll - low 50 is pretty good for normal solves. Don't take my example solves here as things that I actually do in speedsolves, it's just a bit of fun for me.

If you'd like here's a critique of your solve. Block building actually was fine - mostly it was the eo+line and not getting lucky/not searching enough for the sub50.

I must've done that solve pretty late in the day to completely skip over 26 + 7 ≠ 35...
Thanks for the critique! I'm starting ZZ for OH so it's nice to know what I can improve on.

1 move difference, but it's a Sune ZBLL so it's better to just use regular Sune
Also, does anyone have a shorter alg for the 4th pair?

If this was a CFOP solve I would just use the alg you used, or I use this:
R' D' R U' R' D R U R U' R' (11)
Same number of moves, but if I can do a sledge to force OCLL, I can cancel some moves:
R' D' R U' R' D F R F' (9)
You wouldn't be able to use this in ZZ though

more realistic ZZ solve, still had to finesse the sub50 with a little wonky zbll exec but even then imo its pretty usable.
