Blackwater 53393 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 There is the right hand and then there is the CORRECT hand!! Everyone is born right handed. The smart, handsome, talented ones get over it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 When my son was about 5 or 6 we were playing catch in my mom's backyard. The neighbor next door, an old Polish dude, came over and said, "You should tie that kid's left hand behind him and teach him to throw right handed!! I had a few words for him and we kept playing catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I'm very left handed. The only thing I really do right handed is shoot, although I shoot double duelist, so I shoot left handed as well. I can spar in karate from either a right or left handed stance. Throw a ball? Write? Yeah, no, those don't happen right handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most southpaws are ambidextrous by nature and necessity!! I've become even more left handed because my right hand is slowly failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylan Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I'm left handed but there seems to be something sinister about the whole left handers day. But if anyone wants to buy me a Filet Mignon I'm open to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 My wife is left handed. My father is left handed. My father in law is left handed. My brother is left handed. The old veteran town marshal that recruited me many moons ago was left handed but he switched to shooting right handed as he said running Uncle Sam's M16 was less disconcerting shooting right handed ... he was never comfortable with hot brass slinging out in front of his eagle beak shouldering the Vietnam Mattell left handed!

Regardless, if you really look at the batters box if you are a lefty you are one step closer to first case. A righty HAS one more step to cross the plate. Do they get there faster??? Maybe not but in a really close call it could make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A righty also has to recover from the rotation of the body that results from the swing. A lefty is rotating in the CORRECT direction already!! I'm arguing too!!

Matthew Duncan Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I've noticed that right handers have the tendency to do EVERYTHING backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Eye Jim Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I was going to make some smart ass comment about being in my right mind (being left handed and all) and I only golf right handed because those were clubs we had and the shop pro said I'd hit better that way anyway. Anywhooo... I'm tired, it's been a long day and I really just want that steak and a good bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The only advantage of being right handed is your bolt rifles and bows are $50.00 cheaper than mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry T Harrison Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I’m right handed and for a large part of my life my left hand with the exception of shooting a hand gun was pretty much useless. After twenty five years of martial arts I’m pretty good with my left side although I still can’t write or throw a ball from that side. My father was left handed but pretty much ambidextrous being from the generation where being left handed wasn’t really accepted. My son is left eye dominant and should have been left handed but just refused to be. My twin toddler grandsons are most definitely lefties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My twin toddler grandsons are most definitely lefties Being right eye or "cross dominant," has made shooting right handed much easier for me, but it isn't the reason I do. The very first time my brother took me shooting as a kid (he's ten years older than I am) I fired his Marlin 60 left handed, an empty ejected and landed on my arm and burned a little. He said to shoot right handed. I have ever since. Like you, or the opposite of, I can't write right handed, and anyone watching me try to throw a ball is sure to get a laugh.

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 My wife is a lefty. She's also ambidextrous, shoots righty, bowls righty, writes lefty, eats lefty. Her twin is extremely right handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
