I'm right handed... shoot lefty in hockey, bat lefty in baseball, golf lefty, and snowboard goofy (aka "lefty").

I'm also a left-shooting defenceman who plays (and is significantly more comfortable) on the right side of the ice. Like Gonchar.

Oh, yeah, sure, compare yourself to the future hall of famer. No ego to speak of here...


Forgot to mention, I kick (soccer, and american football) right footed, though I suck close to equally at kicking with either foot.

  • Right handed
  • Shoot right, but prefer playing LD in pickup hockey; played RD and LD in Jr.A; LW/RW/RD in minor hockey. Loved playing LD on the PP.
  • Golf right
  • Bat right
  • Throw right
  • Snowboard goofy
  • Ambidextrous high-fiver

Left shot on the right side is good the deeper you play in the offensive zone to get an angle on the net. But I find seem passes harder on the back hand but a harder dump along the boards around defense men.

Yeah I'm basically the exact opposite of this..

Left handed but I bat, shoot and swing right handed.

I do kick with the left, although my right kick is that much weaker.

I'm righty almost everything. Hockey, golf, baseball throw, batting, writing, shooting (firearms), waterskiing, etc.

Except for pool, i hold a pool cue left handed, it's odd.

I'm left handed and do everything left handed. Playing hockey I shoot left because I am American and well, most of us Americans hold our sticks like we hold our baseball bats.

Which is, somewhat related to this discussion, why the Americans represent a drastically disproportionate number of right-shooting defenceman (when compared to the percentage of American NHLers) in the NHL compared to other nationalities, who generally are the opposite (ie: right handed players shooting on the left side).

Yeah and it's why I am a very below average puck handler in net because I am a full right goalie, but if I were to be a skater I shoot left. I've always tried to master the Cujo and Turco way of playing the puck but could never get it down. I also like to to do the ole Thomas Vokoun and kick my stick to pass the puck to a teammate.

Nice lol.

I do everything right handed although when it comes to accuracy i find using my left has is preferable. It feels slightly uncomfortable. I find i can hit, throw ect, ect harder with my right but i pull everything.

It's always been curious to me, the handedness when it comes to sports equipment.

We can all chime in here..

I'm right handed , but when it comes to sports:

Hockey : shoot LHD
Golf : hit LHD
Baseball : bat left / throw right

I'm always found it odd for right handed people to hit/swing/shoot right handed. That's part obviously because I'm the opposite, but also because I find with all those actions that hitting /swinging/shooting/stickhandling with a left stance engaged what I felt to be the strong side of my body.


Back to topic, I've now come to rest firmly in the camp of "we need a Top 4D over anything else barring massive gift horse".

Right handed as well.

Shoot left in hockey and hit left in golf. I could switch hit in baseball as kid but gradually lost it and could only bat left when I got older.

There is something when you learn to do these things as a kid. I play beer league and I notice most of us that grew up with hockey shoot left. Newbies or people who started playing as an adult shoot right (almost exclusively).

Righty for everything.

It was mentioned earlier, but apparently it's almost entirely dependent on what sport you learned first.

If you learn to swing a bat first (like most Americans would), your dominant hand is place closer to the point of contact than your left.

I had a friend who originally was righty for everything, but found a nice left handed road hockey stick, so he switched hands.
