V Perms: z (U' R D R' U R U') (R D' R' U R2' D R2 D')

R2 U' B2 U B2 R D' R D R' U R U' R

I've been hating my V perm so much lately, so I decided to try learning it, and I like it this way. I have a little trouble with the first U (I push it with my left forefinger), but overall it's way better than my old algorithm.

So anyway, I then started doing timed solves (scrambles from CCT), and would you believe my next three solves were all V perms? (Odds: 1 in 5832?) I couldn't have asked for better practice! So cool.

(And qq, I just tried yours and it does seem to fix my problem nicely; I may have to switch to that.)

I made this one for OH: R’ U2 R U2 (z) U R’ D’ R U’ R U R’ D R U’
It's just another V-Perms I found, but I made it so a few moves are done before the rotation.
 
I love my V perm. There are practically no regrips that stop you from moving something, if you do it right, even though there are some scary looking rotations when written.

R' U R' U' y x2 R' U R' U' l R U' R' U R U

Do it like this: First 4 moves as you normally would, but start to do the y rotation as you're doing the 4th move (U') without removing your hands from the cube. At this point, your right hand should be holding the cube with your 4 fingers on U and thumb on D, and your left hand with palm on B, fingers on R and thumb on L. Still holding the cube like this, tilt the cube back (x) to start the x2 and remove your left hand to reposition. Instead of finishing the x2, stop at x and grip l with your left hand, and do the second 4 moves starting out as l U R' U' instead of R' U R' U'. Then finish.
 
I use R U' R U R' D R D' R U' D R2' U R2 D' R2'.

I, too, use (R U' R U R') (D R D') (R [U' D]) (R2' U R2 D' R2).

I perform the alg in a very similar fashion, but with slight variance namely in the beginning few moves.

Here's how I do it:

(R U' R U R') - Start with right middle on FR, right thumb on BR, as if to do R2 clockwise. Make the first R turn, let the U' push from left index glide under your right hand grip. Then R U R' as normal.
(D R D') - Left ring for D, no right hand regrip for R, D' with either left ring pull or right ring push (whichever you prefer).
(R U' D) - No regrip on R, push U' D simultaneously with left index and ring. Now right thumb should be on UR.
(R2' U R2 D' R2) - With right thumb on UR and right middle on DR, perform R2', perform U with right ring, R2 clockwise with right hand, D' with either left ring, right middle, or right ring, and final R2 in either direction.
