3x3 Blindfolded: How to be Sub 1 Minute (3BLD)

Averaging under a minute on 3x3 blindfolded is difficult, but very doable if you know how. In this video, I go over some of the most important things to know to break the sub 1 barrier. Keep in mind this is more of an overview of what you should learn, not a tutorial - teaching each topic I mention would make this video like an hour long haha.

I went from averaging 19 minutes to 11 seconds with this, thank you Java cuber!

Nice vid! I'd add that *learning* your letter pairs is important, rather than just making a list - making it can be very useful for improving your pairs (particularly weeding out bad ones) but it won't do much unless you actually put in the work to learn it. Also for twists/flips, I don't think dedicated algs are particularly necessary if you use orozco, since shooting to 2 sides of the piece will be a similar speed as an intuitive setup to a 2flip (in both the cases that you showed, I think the Orozco solutions are actually *faster* haha)

I can't even solve a cube blindfolded but I'm supportive. Also well-made video even though I have no idea what the actual heck you're talking about.

I average 1 minute using 3-style which means I am slow but in my defence, I am old (45)

Hey can you make a video on how to setup a tengyun for BLD?

[rodrigoqteixeira]

Ok, I'll use the nod-don, if you tell me how da heck am I supposed to do that with the sleeping mask that I use, like I feel it in my eyes

[tomb]

can you put your letter pair sheet in the bio

[megaigor]

Could you please give suggestions how to set up the tenyun m v1 specially for blind cubing? (lube and tensions) I see, that a lot of people recommend it. i am having one, but i never managed to set it up properly. i allways encounter wired lockups, but i want to give it another chance. I would be very apreciative for any advice.
