    to elaborate....things i do with my hand (please lets keep it clean here guys ;-) ) i generally do with my left hand, but if i need to use my arm i will use my right arm. does that make sense?


    i ask this because i want to know if any of you guys who are like this think that you really should have been left handed. i started thinking about this when i started playing ball again and suddenly i started developing a left hand. i didn't really start using my left arm for things until my right elbow got hurt and i couldn't bowl anymore with it. so i started trying to learn how to bowl left handed and i was more accurate with my left arm than i think i should have been if that makes sense. since that time i really haven't kept up with bowling because i have been busy with everything else in my life and practicing costs money which i don't have, but i have been playing basketball again. since i started that i have noticed that i have noticed i prefer dribbling with my left hand. that is also some that developed after i started trying to work on my left hand in basketball which used to be terrible. also with my right hand when i try to finish at the basket i have generally been a poor finisher, but with my left hand i have a much better touch and i am generally better at finishing layups with my left hand now.

    i dunno...thats probably enough explanation, but i'm just curious how many people on here are like me and who are kind of wondering if they are really left handed.

    For the most part, no, I'm left handed pretty much all the way, but there are a few instances where I do things right handed, so I voted yes.

    For a while in the sixth grade, I broke both the bones in my left forearm, and became almost completely right handed. For a while after I got my cast off, I still wrote with my right hand, but did everything else with my left..... I can still write and do a few other things with my right hand, but I'm just too used to using my left.

    I do everything left-handed, except batting.

    My brother, though, writes left-handed and does everything else with his right hand.

    I'm the same way. I write left handed but I do everything else right handed. I throw a football, bowl, etc..

    To be serious, the only thing I can do with my right hand is use scissors.

    Meh.

    while i can finish at the rim in basketball just about as well with my right as with my left hand, i'm gonna say that doesn't count (b/c i shoot and mostly dribble left-handed) and say i do everything left-handed.


    my dad does everything righty except play golf and hit a baseball (i guess things involving swinging).


    how do you weirdos even start off doing stuff with the other hand anyway? how does it feel natural at all?

    When I cut my food, I don't switch off and go to my right hand to put the food in my mouth, i stick with the left. That counts, right:D

    The only thing I ever found I preferred or did better at left-handed is play street hockey-- shooting left-handed.

    My right-handed wife does just the opposite. She just cuts with her left hand.

    My dad's a lefty - I'm just left-eye dominant. I do shoot pool left-handed(pretty good right-handed though), and I used to be a switch-hitter at baseball. I can't throw left-handed worth a damn, but I am working at learning to hit a golf ball left-hand - it's awkward as hell though.
