Where do my PLLs need improvement

[ilikecubing]

I am posting videos of some of my PLLs,I use fingertricks but still I am unable to become sub 3 on them,thats what I'm targetting for now,any tips on what to do....

T perm -

J perm -

Y perm

use your finger and dont do a palm twists . Oh btw lear that double flick, its realy helpful and it's easy too.

 

[Zane_C]

Try doing F' with your right thumb by pushing up on DFR. The R2 in T-perm should be R2 not R2', also turn faster and lock-up less.

Work on executing your PLLs for smoothness, then worry about turn speed. Lock ups kill your PLL times, eliminating those will be your biggest help to being able to decrease the time it takes to execute. Unfortunately, you are asking for advice on some of the easiest PLLs, so at this point it's nothing more than just practicing your execution and smoothness.

Edit:
I suppose I should also tell you to learn how to execute it with proper fingertricks now, so that you don't get into a bad habit. Watch other PLL execution videos on YouTube to get a feel for how to execute PLLs. Find ways to execute PLLs to avoid regrips as much as possible (you have a lot of them in T), and try to make it so that when you regrip, you are doing a move with the other hand (so that way the regrip doesn't actually take time, it's done while something else is being done).

Well yes I know these are the easiest PLLs but i didn't want to start with hard ones,so first i wanna get these PLLs sub 3,I wanna master these easy ones first.How do reduce Lockups,do I need to change something in my cube?

And yes thanx lookin for PLL execution vids is a really helpful idea

Another thing is that my cube's corner cutting is not the best, can that affect my PLLs,is this a big reason?

>Get cube that doesn't lock up as much
>Better finger tricks
>More fluidity
>Practice
>Sub-3

Your R2 looks scetchy at best.

When you are doing R2 you are re-gripping the cube, that means that you are letting go of the right face of the cube and gripping it again from another angle to do the R2 properly.
You need to learn how to do the R2 without letting go of the cube entirely.
I cannot explain this in any better way.

You also need a better cube that is smoother and superior corner cutting would also help a bit.

Finger tricks and practice more so you can execute with no pauses.

For the T-perm: I actually use palm twists, but still I'm sub-2 in that. I let my right hand do all the twisting and my left hand for the flicking. It's my personal preference. But I recommend it too.

BTW, this was one of the most detailed threads asking for help. He has videos, and we can easily diagnose his problems. Nice man.

Try to do your U2 with your index and middle fingers instead of with your index only. At first it will feel weird and unaccurate but later will be much faster.

Ya im trying to master this technique of doing U2 with both index and middle, this ain't easy.I've tried a lot but after doing the U,my middle finger is in a very bad position to do the next U.are there any vidz which can help me with this?

Why is my H prem so slow?

Here is a video of my H perm M2 U' M2 U2 M2 U' M2

I choose this H perm due to its low move count,but I'm not even able to sub 2 it

What do I need to do to get fast on it?

 

[DavidWoner]

M2 should be ring then middle.

 

[Engberg91]

Use you both ringfingers to do the M2 or use like David said.

 

[Rpotts]

omg, woner went to the help section?!? O_o
but yea, ring then middle M2 is boss.
