                                   SOME  OH  TIPS

Before starting one handed cubing or as we say shortly OH cubing, you guys need to  practice some stuffs. One handed cubing is not as easy as two handed cubing. To become OH speed cuber, you need to follow these steps below. :-)

step-1 : CHOOSE YOUR HAND

At first you have to choose one of your two hands to learn OH. It is said that left hand is more suitable for OH than right hand. This may seem odd to hear, but it's true that you will get more facility using left hand in OH cubing. Because, the most common move used by most of the cubers is R U R' U'. Many OLL, PLL, F2L, COLL & ZZ algs have R U R' U' move. And this  move of R U R' U' can be done so much easily with left hand. Doing this move with right hand is not so easy.

It may feel uncomfortable for most right handed people at the first time. But believe me, after practicing with left hand, it will be very much easy for you guys. So, practice a lot. Try to give moves using only one hand. And if you still want to use right hand for OH, then I won't disappoint you. There are significant number of cuber who use right hand for OH. And they are doing well in competitions. So, it's up to you to decide. :-)

step-2 : CHOOSE CORRECT CUBE

Now it's time to choose the correct cube for OH. Every cube is not suitable for you to do OH cubing. When you are solving cube with two hands, it is easy to control cubes of any size. But you can't do speed solves in OH with cubes of any size. Cause, it's not that easy to control any sized cubes with only one hand. So, you need to decide the size of your cube. If your hand is big, then you can use 57 mm cubes. But if 57 mm cubes seem uncomfortable for you to do moves & algs, then you should use smaller cubes like 55 mm or 50 mm. Use that cube which suits to your hand most. Good luck. :-)

step-3 : PRACTICE

The thing you need most to be good at OH is PRACTICE. You need to practice a LOT  LOT  and  LOT !!!!!!!! But the question is  “how  to  and  what  to  practice ????”. Well, first you practice only one move. For example, you do  R. But not only a few times. You need to practice a lot of times. J Then you pratice  F, U, D, L  and  B  also. Now, if u are good at doing one move, now you need to do two moves at a time. Do  R U. As like as that you do other moves like  U R, U F, U L, R L  etc. And if keep doing these stuffs then day day you will be preety good at OH. Let’s wish good for the future.
