Righty Or Lefty?

[Michael Kellough]

Great news Lou!

Your posts pretty much stopped after your surgery (on page 2) in the old back problems thread and you got back to work.

It would be good if you pasted this post (your post above) into the back thread.

I too want a "it depends" answer. I started lefty, but much to the relief of my teachers (I used to write pages backwards if I picked up the pen with my left hand, and I couldn't tell that they were backwards) broke my left arm early on, so I write and throw with my right. But I draw with my left, and recently have found myself doing some writing with my left, especially things like annotating marks if I happen to be holding the tape in my right hand.

That is really interesting Dan.

Except for writing backwards, I'm like you, except that I never broke my arm so I still write left as well as draw.
For some unknown reason (since I didn't break my left arm) I throw and hammer right, though I can hammer fairly well left.

Hmm... I bat right or left (more distance if right, more hits if left), golf right, kick left, throw better left than right, usually aim a gun left (but have learned to shoot flying targets with both eyes open), write left most of the time, and use some tools left and others right.   Use Festools with whichever hand/body position feels and works best.

Are you left eyed? I'm right eyed, and not as ambi as you.

Left eye is the "master" but due to retinal damage, I've learned to shoot nearly as well with the right.

no matter who wins.

I just read that both are lefties.
