I need to improve my look ahead and turning speed.
Why is your F2L slow?

FreeFOP:Something along the lines of me building the random F2L blocks all wierd... and tons of cube rotations.
CFOP: Not optimal Corner edge pairing, Meh lookahead, and bad fingertricks.

1) RUSHING then... ... .. pausing .... .. then RUSHING
2) Wristing like there's no tomorrow
3) Cube rotations like I win a prize if I physically can look at all 6 sides of the cube within the same second.

Thank you. This problem has seriously been getting annoying and overdone.
I hope you stick to this.
On-topic:
-My look ahead is the main problem. Some days, I'm just doing great, and can catch the pairs in a good amount of time. Other days, I try to follow pairs, but they are lost, as I solve the current F2L. On those bad days, I have to seriously focus and concentrate on tracking the pair, or at least 1 piece. I just need to figure out a way to better practice look ahead. This goes along with my Cross-to-F2L transition. Seriously needs work. Probably worst pause in my solve.
-The second problem is efficiency. Most of the time, I just solve whatever I see first, and don't even think about looking for better/more efficient pairs.

Lookahead for sure as I have random pauses sometimes after cross and other times. Then probably turn speed. Compared to people I know in real life, my turn speed is fast. Compared to here, I'm probably about half of what everyone here is (3-4 or so on average).

Who will be banned, sorry? ilikecubing? Or the "non-f2l method user"
I would say my F2L is slow mainly because I hardly practise soley on F2L. I just do full solves. My lookahead is average I would say, could be better for my current speed (19-23 secs) and my pauses are SHOCKING in cross-F2L transition. I also do not have very good solutions for bad cases and my turning speed is SOMEtimes too fast for my eyes to track pieces.

Look ahead issues, pauses, crappy algs.

Lock ups. Not concentrating (this makes me forget about bothering with lookahead).

Finding the correct pieces. The insertions aren't so bad for me...

No, but it's just as pointless.

Terrible look ahead and colour recognition, Seriously sometimes I can spend 3-4 seconds looking for an edge that is in UF. Also I do too many cube rotations.

Locking up on LU 2-gen, or trying to find a piece that's in DL, DR, DRB, or DLB.

I'm slow but working on F2L lookahead and tracking pieces at the moment

This annoys me to no end. Roux users are like Mac fanboys.

I average about a little more than 10 seconds for F2L
1. Lack of important cases
2. Cube rotations, although I only do a few each F2L solve.
3. Look ahead a little, but I feel like I am doing better.

lol thats true, but Roux makes the solve more interesting though IMO (although thats no excuse for acting like that)
im slow mainly for mediocre lookahead and cube rotations on CFOP, and mostly lack of practice on ZZ ._.
