Turning style?

[Tigerninja]

I've heard people say "I have an aggressive turning style." but what does that mean? Which turning styles are there? How can I figure out my turning style?

however you turn during a solve.
"aggressive" is rough alignment and just trusting that the cube will cornercut the gap you create by not waiting for the cube to line up.
"smooth" is a slowish, but more alignment focused turning, where you just kind of flow through a solve
I'm confident about the aggressive because it took me most of my time cubing to adjust my rough+high TPS 20 second solves to a mid TPS 14 second solver

Basically it's a eufemism for 'I can't turn'. I'm a part of that group.

My turning style is aggressive, but I've also been told by a faster cuber that my turning is good and fast so who knows?

its just a matter of if you are comfortable aggressively turning at high TPS, which you might be

"Rough turning" is just a feel-good word for under developed finger tricks. I don't believe that there's a set of turning styles beside the varying mobility of each individual. What *does* exist is skill in optimal finger tricks and optimal applications for solving styles. What I mean by solving style is optimising your fingering for your unique approach to solving.
I'd say turning style is a myth, but make sure you optimise what skills you do have to the way you approach solving.

for me it depends on the type of move as to how accurate my "turning style" is
I am not very good at D2 moves but slice R and U moves I'm very good at
I would say that bad turning style is more of being bad at certain fingertricks

Ok, I call myself a “rough-turner”.
My finger tricks are not really developed (i don’t work on it), and I just turn, with rough force, that the corners keep twisting, for 2x2 or 3x3.

so basically bad turning vs good turning

 

[Swagrid]

The only real turning style is heavy vs light - basically to do with how fast your cubes are and how much you follow through on each turn. Everything else is just cope. And even then, light is almost guaranteed to be better. They both can be and both are fast, but light is surely better.

Every cuber has natively aggresive turning style.

With more practice and grace, your turning style becomes smoother and one day God level smooth like SHN.
