Your explanation was the CLEAREST of all the many videos I watched. Your pace is perfect and the written instructions made it even more understable. Placing the labeled stickers was a brilliant idea! Great explanation. Thumbs way up.
Thank you for the basic break down. I’ve been looking for a simple method for a while and some experts are too fast or assume you learn as fast as they speak which isn’t the case for me. These videos are very helpful.
Thanks! Its meant for beginngers so I kept it fairly simple, and I am hoping to delevop it all into more complex parts into pattern making etc...see how it does first!
Agreed, I found it helpful. I have a 5x5 and 7x7 that I dread when it comes to last two centres. This is very helpful to me as I can apply the same moves to both puzzles.
Thank you so much for this video, I don't know how I ever solved my 5x5 without knowing this (luck mostly? lol!) and even more helpful now that I have my first 6x6 and 7x7 coming! Big cubes are so fun!
Thanks for this it was really helpful. I recently got a Rubik's Master and have messed up so many times attempting to solve it using the centers first solution. So I have decided to give up on the centers first solution and just solve it myself.
@@TheDukeofCubes Any advice? I almost solve two faces of my Rubik's Master but I messed that up because i was moving other pieces into the right place.
@@TheDukeofCubes Just practiced and finally got this skill down. Now I can more quickly solve centers on large cubes and will also be able to use the knowledge for the morphix puzzles.
This is so very well explained! I wish I had this video when I learned commutators… Also I’d love to see a video where you explain end to end how you come up with patterns ideas, and then execute them, if you wanna share that of course 😉
Finally!! Now I can surely solve my one by one that's been sitting around, commutators are so hard on that cube Jokes aside, loved how descriptive this video was
Thank you!!! I did not see this solution anywhere yet and I did not figure it out myself, so this is really big help!!! I was using much looonger way of solving such situations. Yeah, very usefull for one of the possibilities of solving a big cube I use! Thank you very much! And especially for such good explanation so it becomes intuitive (not just shown and then used not understood). 👍👍👍
Brilliant tutorial, but really need help with swapping pieces on final centre when doing the complex patterns. You mentioned you might make a video I’m putting my hand up for that one as soon as possible.
@@TheFreerider67 ahh yes if you are making a pattern then the last 2 faces can get a bit more tricky depending on the design. It’s technically the same moves as in this video, but more about understanding what pieces are cycling into each other to get them where you need them. I’ll have a think if there is a simple way I can make a video on it to help explain.
Yeah trying to figure out getting the cycle in the right position is really starting to fry my brain. I’m watching the last section again and again working out how to apply it on my 9x9
This really taught me how to intuitively solve centers on big cubes!!!! Is there something similar for edges? All tutorials for finishing the last edges are just algorithms for all the cases :(
For a normal cube or for a shape mod cube like mastermorphix? I can do you a private video to help further if you let me know in a bit more detail what you need more help with.
@@TheDukeofCubes you see I don’t quite get the commutators at all because when I try to finish the last two sides by following how you do it, it only messes up my progress.
Very well explained, thanks. On a 7 x 7, I have all centres solved, but my white and yellow are mixed. Is it possible to use a commutator type algorithm I can use to flip pieces on opposite sides to each other (as in, yellow to white)? I messed up the edge pairing, hence the issue.
Hey, it would basically be exactly the same as the video, except you would slice those layer twice, so I like to do it from white/yellow back and front. Do the layer twice to put the back colour on the front, the F moves would just be the normal 1 turn and the slice layers would just be 2 turn. I hope that makes sense 🤔 let me know if you need a better explanation
How to make patterns on big cubes? How do you use to generate cool patterns on your big cubes? I have a 9x9 and iam looking for a great pattern to make, is there any tips to make pattern
Hey, hmm a little tricky to explain really, I have a 5x5 pattern tutorial on here which you would be able to use the same principles on a 9x9. If you followed that it might give you some tips on how to get started.
@@cubing_nerd_ ohh ok. I wouldn’t class it as a studio! It’s basically just on my couch 😂 I can always post some pics on Instagram of my set ups when I’m taking picture if you are on there?
@@TheDukeofCubes Yeah! give us a studio tour Duke! The pattern making room, the lighting and photography room, and the glass fronted display cabinet where all of your 19x19 patterns sit!
Why do you use R' R L' L in your notation? You are making slice moves and R is not a slice move! This move is called 2R This inconsistency in cube notations across many internet pages confuses beginners.
If you read my supporting information I try to make it simple by explain to slice down the required layer etc. which make it easier to just mention that layer as a slice with the direction it is moving. The alg is written in a basic formation as this can then be applied to any size layered cube depending on the required layer the person needs to move. If we covered every possible commutator in alg format it would be pretty long with all the possible combinations. Having to try and go through a commutator for beginners and also include all of the name for the slices 2R, 3R plus L and the primes I felt complicated the ‘easy commutator’ video. The video was never intended to be an explanation of notion, just the foundation of movements of the commutator.

Thank you so much! Really appreciate your comments! ❤️
Absolutely agree... the stickers really helped solidify the information. :)
Bought 6x6 and 7x7 from you guys last week. Struggling with the commutator. Thanks to this tutorial i get excellent after sales service as well lol.

best video ever very clear and slow, thank you!
Aw thank you!! Really appreciate it!! ❤️
Nice video. I like the pace. It's nice you're actually teaching how to do it rather than go as fast as possible.
Thank you 😊 I try and do things in a way that would have made sense to me when I was learning. Hopefully my next set of vids will be ok to!
The letters was actually helpful! Thank you!!
No problem!
Thank you for the video. I was using the commutator RU'L'U (R'U'LU). The version you showed seems clearer to me, so I will go over to this version.
Glad it helped you out! 😀
Congratulations 1K complete
Thanks!!
Finally!! Now I can surely solve my one by one that's been sitting around, commutators are so hard on that cube
Jokes aside, loved how descriptive this video was
😂😂😂 yes them pesky 1x1 can be hard. I done a 1x1 pattern I need to post still! It took quite a while!
This was a fantastic tutorial. Thank you for all the thought and hard work you put into sharing it.
