Accidentally posted the other one in the wrong group

I just recently learned about this method and there wasnt a thread discussing it so i am starting it ( if there is one, i coultdnt find it, only found a beginner tutorial and a blockbuilding tutorial)

for those of you who do not know what ZZ is

basically you orient all edges while placing the DR and DB cross pieces making the cube all U R L then solve F2L OLL PLL

here is a link to where i learned it this question is for everyone who has heard of or uses ZZ

i just recently set out on the long road of learning full OLL
but i just learned about ZZ method

so my question is would focusing on EOline and learning ZZ be better than finishing OLL

because if i get EOline down, it reduces the OLL to only a few and no icky F, B or cube rotations needed for F2l

any one this this is a good idea?

i looked for a ZZ thread but the only one was for the blockbuilding part Not ZZ in general


it has its pros
all U R L means no F or B or cube rotations for F2L
cuts total OLL algs only a few, and doesnt require good recognition skills
and the entire first step can be done during inspection time with practice

cons
the first step takes alottttt of practice lol

so my question for all cubers is

would it be worth the time to get EOline near perfect and such
or would just learning Friedrich and full OLL with good recognition be better

personally i am in the middle of full OLL 20ish so far.
and am considering skipping OLL for now and learning ZZ, even if its just for fun
and wanted to get other cubers, especially advanced ones, opinion on the matter

thanks for all the help ahead of time

p.s. i made this thread for both dicussion and questions and did not know where to put it, im relatively new to the site
