3x3 CFOP
I know it may not be an either or, and there are different ways of going about it; is it better to try to get an x cross if possible or just focus on tracking first pair during cross?
I see an x cross as any cross plus first pair that is there as soon as the cross is completed.
I know one advantage is being able to see the second pair during cross.
My biggest problem with either is predicting where pieces will be after I start for.ing the cross, I'm working on it because I know that one of my drawbacks is transitioning from cross to f2l.
Is anyone who does x cross doing it in a block building way, such as building a corner block then quickly inserting the next two cross pieces?
I know there is also a way to use keyhole, which I am just starting to work with.
I've tried block building as such and though it does cut down on f2l, it makes my cross less efficient and thus slower. Is anyone doing this pretty consistently with success?
