Like other pro cubers i also noticed you use your right hand to do all the F2L pair insertion and setting up...I definitely need to practice on just using my right hand Any tips?Look back at my video i posted before and you'll see my major flaw That's because there's many algorithms out there had R in the algo.

Learning methods, find algorithms that you are comfortable executing, practice alot. Looking ahead while doing your First two layer is important too, when you're doing one pair, search for the next one, basically, don't pause so much.

Youtube it up.. I recommend you to watch tutorials by Badmephisto, he explains very well and detailed.

My bad...didn't know that So, you're saying that most cubers use Intuitive F2L?Meaning they don't memorize the algorithms for certain setting up cases but actually just remember where to position them for insertion?

Well, of course they'd know algorithms for some cases. QUOTE(eXPeri3nc3 @ Mar 16 2010, 08:28 PM) Hi guys. What timer you all use? I used to have one, but I lost it. I think I really need one to know my avg time What you mean timer? Software on computer? Or real timer the is used during competitions? For web-based timer, you can try: Cubetimer QQTimer Icy Cube Timer by a Malaysian cuber RubeTimer And the timer I'm using in my video is Calcubetimer. The original site for it is down. You can download from this site: Lucas Garron's website Another one is JnetCube Timer. JnetCube And those used in competitions are Speedstack timers. As they are normally used for Cupstacking, it cannot count average, and the save time function is like 3-3-3, 6-6-6 and Cycle, all were Cup stacking formats, but still can save our PB.

Sorry I should have elaborated. Software timer. Ah, now I remember, I used to use JNetCube Timer. Lol. Will try the one you're using. Thanks.
