Trouble with H and Z perm.

[hdskull]

The H perm takes me forever to solve with OH, the Z perm i think could be faster. help?

 

[Lofty]

I do RLU2R'L' etc. H perm with a cube rotation after that part for H. It is kinda slow. And Z I just use the regular U R' U' R U' R U R U' R' U R U R2 U' R' U.
Z takes awhile because it is long but the moves are executed fairly quickly for me.

Thanks for responding, I really like the H perm, the Z-perm i still do faster with my original.

 

[Lofty]

What is your original?

 

[Jason Baum]

For the H perm OH, I use this alg:
R2 U2 R U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R U2 R2

For a while, I used this alg for the Z OH:
U x' R U' R' D U R' U' D R' U R D2

But I recently switched to the two gen alg that Lofty posted. It's a little bit faster and a lot easier to perform without locking up.

 

[hdskull]

what i use right now is what jason used before, U x' R U' R' D U R' U' D R' U R D2, except i use E' instead of U' D(because i can just use my thumb).

I guess i'll practice that algorithm some to see how fast i can be.

thanks guys for the algs.

You can mirror and inverse that alg in many different ways, it's worth trying several variations. At first I thought it's a bad alg but then started to like it.

 

[Lofty]

I do like those algs.
I may switch to them or use them based on the angle I end up with the cube in when I get done with the OLL/COLL.
We should all update the PLL list someone trued to start for OH to share good algs like these.

 

[hdskull]

yea, that'd be really great because my PLL with OH is really slow.
