Practise with a purpose

Build reliable turning, comfortable finger tricks and a practice routine you can sustain.

Separate recognition from execution

An algorithm can feel slow because finding it took too long, because your fingers hesitated, or because you had to repair a mistake. Practise recognising a setup without turning; then practise its execution from a known setup. Compare those measurements separately instead of judging everything by the final time.

Comfort before speed

  • •
    Choose a relaxed grip that lets you finish the algorithm without unnecessary regrips.
  • •
    Break an algorithm into familiar triggers. Work through transitions slowly rather than rushing the easy part and stopping at the join.
  • •
    Try verified alternatives from Algs. A shorter sequence is not automatically faster for your hands.
  • •
    Stop if your hands hurt. Warm up gently and take breaks; practice should not require pushing through pain.

Make practice measurable

Open a case in Algs and send it to Solve. Apply the setup from solved, execute the algorithm and record the attempt. Keep the setup fixed while comparing fingerings. Use Again when you forgot the solution, Hard when recall was effortful, and Good or Easy when recall was reliable. Turning speed alone is not a recall grade.
