Fewer cube rotations

Do the whole F2L with 2 cube rotations at most.

Keyboard: Enter to continue, ← to go back. Keep your hands on the cube.

Every time you turn the whole cube (y), you lose a moment and lose sight of the pieces. Good cubers do very few.

To bring a pair to the front-right, prefer U or U': the top turns, not the cube.

For the left slots, use the mirror of your inserts (L' U' L instead of R U R'). The F2L library shows them with “Front left”.

Remember: Count your rotations over a few slow solves: just counting them makes them drop.

I turn the cube without noticing: Do 5 very slow solves, counting each rotation out loud.
Left inserts are hard for me: Do R U R' then its mirror L' U' L, 20 times each: your left hand gets used to it quickly.
