Just letting you know that you can also use f R' f' as an insert. One application of it is f R' f' U' R' U' R which solves one of the EO cases with the flipped edge in slot

[@BrodytheCuber]

yes, I need to start doing this as well. There are some really cool ways to set up into that insert

dammit that was going to my comment!

Thanks friend for your tricks, it helped me a lot, cheers from Colombia

[@cubingmyth921]

I think I have a better finger trick and I have been using this for quite some time: you can stay in home grip and use index pinch for f and use the third finger to complete f' while regripping your hand. Probably this will help.

[@m.sarosh7146]

omg!!!!!!!!!! I swear, just a week ago I figured this trick out by myself and then saw Feliks' solves and now you also showed this trick.

[@josephmcray9086]

You better watch out Brody, Cubehead might pass you in subs. Tbh I wouldn't be too surprised. I still am a huge fan of you! You have helped me a lot at getting better at 3x3. I am now averaging 23-24 seconds. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

[@deepannandy7288]

1:00 I saw that f2l trick on one of feliks zemdegs solve reconstruction video and I have also started using it after that and my times have gotten better.

[@SerialGaming]

for the first pair you could do (U) sledge f R f which you can cancel to R' F R S R f' (assuming FR is open) for 2:30 you could (and always should) just do the f from homegrip after the R U2 R'

[@TheYoGeekCuber]

Woah i just covered this in my recent f2l inserts video!!! Nice Brody

[@Magnovv13]

Man I’ve been using this type of rotationless insertion the past year or so I’m so glad it’s getting recognized

[@alberteinstein1015]

This is revolutionary to me, thanks for the upload!

[@hesacuber]

I clicked for the moustache...where is the moustache?? anyways nice tips Brody!

[@StepanMakarenko]

You don't need to regrip f R f', just start in home grip, do f with right finger, roll R and f' with left index Also at 2:45 you can do R' F R' F' R U' R

[@HogRider2]

Idk if thats better though because I cant do it nearly as fast as regriping and doing the regular one just because the Fw is so inconsistent when your trying to rip

[@StepanMakarenko]

1:46 S R S' R' U2 R Starts in homegrip 2:35 U R' U R B' R B R' Starts and ends in homegrip, regripless 3:04 R U' R' S R S' S Starts in homegrip, regripless, S moves are easier than f imo

[@mayhaddon7487]

definitely gonna start using this! i am trying to get a consistent good f2l - and this will really help! Thanks Brody! :)

[@teganjain8174]

Another variation you can do is f R2 f', it's really niche and kinda risky, but personally I've been able to execute it without much trouble. I mostly use it for first pair, like if there is a free pair right in front of you but goes into BR slot. There might be a use for it in between solutions, but I haven't really played with that.

[@stevesphilosophy]

1:30 "Obviously you start off by doing that..." I've been using "U (sledgehammer) (insert)" from J Perm's advanced F2L pdf this whole time.

[@MatthewLiuCube]

I knew this f R f' insert for a while now, but these new applications are really interesting! Thanks for the interesting situations, Brody! Something I did realize after just playing around with stuff after the video was if you wanted to skip OLL with an R U2 R' insert, you could just do f R2 f'. That is essentially what you said about solving EO using this, but this is a more specific case that applies to a "forced" OLL skip. I average like 15 seconds though, so I'm not sure if this is good or not. (I literally found this like 2 minutes ago). I think the fingertricks are fine if you regrip, but of course, that isn't optimal. Somebody already mentioned starting in home grip, using your right finger for the f, then roll the R, then use your left finger for the f'. You could apply the same thing to what I'm saying here, but rolling R2, then f' does seem a little bit weird to me, but that might just be because I'm bad at cubing.

[@Sahil_Ansari_5]

4:21 I like this f2l trick 👍🏼👍🏼😉😉

[@JTiger1046]

You can do f R S' to set up for a nice F 2-gen F' last slot case for FL, if you are comfortable doing so

[@vybzcubing7272]

I don’t use wide move inserts anymore since it makes look ahead harder

Isn't that what he was explaining in the entire video, bruh.....

My man Brody for moustache

[@samuelefront9901]

That' really cool! Feliks used it in an old sub4 solve

[@spooderdan9127]

I think his mustache gave Brody that f2l trick

[@asr2009]

2:45- for this exact case from this angle you can also use R' U' R d' R U R'

[@heatherjackson920]

I like the intro to your video. I always love a good, short intro. Nice!

[@Zygecks]

you can also apply a similar trick to a ready pair that needs to solve into the backright, do f R’ f’

[@JJCuber27]

i hate to say it but I smell a Brody pls video coming

It can cancel into the start of some OLLs when used on the last F2L pair

[@coconutcubes5750]

Really cool way to insert in the back right. The only thing I concern about is whether the look ahead will be affected by this kind of insertion. I think I will use this alg for sure for my last pair

[@jamesjones8724]

I love how I've already been using dis for a year now

[@dado8113]

2:26 You should try starting in home grip and regrip while doing the lefty U2 to eliminate that pause😊.

[@dynamocubing]

Brian - brody pls Brody - here you go

[@nihalsameer6417]

Your vid's r always helpful and help me improve my times. Thx a lot Brody

[@rmcblaze3205]

I average 15 seconds and I use this a lot still, but something I thought of a couple weeks ago was using it to cansle other rotations. What I mean is that if you use this to insert a pair but have to rotate after for another pair, then don’t do it. But if you rotate for inserting then rotate again for another pair, then use this trick. I wish I could do this, but my look ahead is basically nonexistent.

[@hemanth2005]

No way... I used this same trick to avoid cube rotating I also figured it on my own I got this idea from Jay's video " The new 3 move insert" I have been using this trick for nearly 3 months and I progressed from 16-17 avg of 5 to 14-15. But I don't know why this trick feels inefficient (at least for me)

[@cubingtamil4996]

🔥🔥 super bro

[@hugohart]

I swear I figured this out a few days ago

[@hopp2184]

I used this trick for a time but don’t like it since it severely hinders lookahead by moving the entire top layer away. By cube rotating you can also see what pieces are in the back slot adjacent to the one inserting into.

[@curiousNic]

Brody thx Mustache pls.... tell Brody to „set you free“

[@matthewhart4952]

How can you be so fast already but only just discover these inserts? :D

Hey brody can you me tell how much practice should we do and i want a fix hour of time not "as much as possible" pls reply me

you could use your thumb instead of your index finger, depending on how you're holding it

[@hugohart]

don't do this though, it isn't good

If I'm in home grip, I find it easier to execute S R S' rather f R f' -- but that requires the front-right slot be empty. When I do f R f' , I have to regrip to use my thumb (and middle finger) to hold the B layer in order to stable my cube. Anyone has this kind of issue and what could be the tip to resolve it please?
