TIPs For One-Handed

how to get really fast solving with only one hand. Below are a list of tips that we have put together that we both think are very important for fast one handed solving times. Videos will hopefully follow soon as well. If you're interested in one handed solving we hope this page will help you to increase your speed.
The physical aspects of one handed solving; 1) Use a loose cube This is probably pretty obvious but it is the most important thing for doing one handed solves. Your hand will tire out a little bit over the course of each solve, therefore a loose cube is very important to make sure your hand does not tire out too much after only 1 OR 2 solves. 2) Stretch your fingers before you begin solving and between solves Stetches help to make sure you don't strain your hand while performing one handed solves. It is possible to injure your hand, so it is helpful to stretch in hopes of preventing any injuries, as well as to loosen up your fingers to turn the faces. 3) Use as many fingers as possible Always try to hold the cube with as few fingers as possible and turn the faces with as many as possible. As a standard grip Dan Dzoan recommends holding the cube only with your thumb and middle finger, keeping your index and ring fingers free to do most of the turning. On a very loose cube you can also utilize your pinky finger from time to time, but generally your pinky finger is only used for stabilizing the cube when changing grips. 4) Practice doing each possible turn from a standard grip Hold the cube with your thumb on the front face and middle finger on the back face and practice doing every turn (i.e. R R' R2 L L' L2 U U' U2 D D' D2 B B' B2 F F' F2) from the initial grip. Try pushing faces with your fingers, or using your ring finger for some turns instead of only your index finger. Also try changing the grip slightly and doing turns with your thumb, or gripping on the U and D faces rather than the F and B faces. Try to find the most comfortable way to perform each move for your hand.
