Tabonga 2,171 Member · Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Are you right or left handed? I am right handed but can do a fair amount with my left. My father was truly ambidextrous - which was really useful for a construction worker who did a lot of carpentry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s 3,822 Member · Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I do some things with my right hand but not enough to call myself ambidextrous. Lefties rule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup 2,322 Administrator · Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Lefty all the way here. Interestingly, I have 3 other siblings, and 3 out of the 4 of us are left-handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captmorgandrinker 1,642 Administrator · Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Righty. The only thing I can do decently left handed is shoot a hockey puck, since goalies that are right handed normally shoot lefty (since it's more important that your catch glove is on your left hand as a righty).

Hammerfestus 3,681 Member · Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Right is the way. I’ve heard lefties worship Stan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doner24 1,164 Moderator · Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Righty all the way. I broke my right thumb back in the day and threw a lot with my left hand for a few weeks. Got good enough to throw a spiral about 40 yards with a football, and definitely helped me when playing basketball after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves 11,243 Administrator · Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Right for me, though left when playing hockey. Which is apparently fairly typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kguillemette 1,467 Member · Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Right handed. I do a fair amount of things with my left with no issues, but I do tend to lead with my right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickman 3,661 Member · Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I went with somewhat ambidextrous with right as my main. I definitely was born right handed but have managed to train strength in my left and use it a lot, besides writing, which I barely do anymore anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrobins 1,598 Moderator · Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I write with my left hand, but do any kind of sports thing with my right. Interestingly at the beginning of lockdown, I taught myself to write passably with my right hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely was born right handed but have managed to train strength in my left and use it a lot, besides writing, which I barely do anymore anyway. I used to have really bad psoriasis on my hands, which led to overall dryness and random painful cracks. My right hand was generally worse off, as I was right-handed. I then started making an effort to do things with my left hand, to the point where now I'll even instinctively use my left hand to do tasks. For example, if I have a can of beer to the left of me, I'll grab and pour it using my left hand. I can write okay with my left hand, though it's not at the same speed as with my right hand. So while my right hand is stronger, I've trained myself to be mostly ambidextrous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki 4,899 Member · Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I'll go with somewhat right, I can do both, just sloppy and slower with the left only because I don't keep up with writing, etc with it. One grandpa of mine was ambidextrous, so it's probable I could be too but given our ages here schools kind of rudely discouraged it in the day.

Alder 242 Member · Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Right for almost everything, but passable left with a lot as well. Not writing or anything, but more macro movements. One weird one: I shoot a bow right-handed but shoot a slingshot left-handed. I think it's because drawing a slingshot takes more strength to hold it steadily, so I learned by holding it with my right hand and drawing the string with my left. But I haven't done either of those in nearly 20 years, so who knows. For anyone into rhythm games, try Guitar Hero or Rock Band sometime with your non-dominant hand. That's always fun.
