I'm a leftie in handwriting and football, althgouh my right peg ain't too shabby, mainly because inconsiderate idiots in my team always passed to the wrong foot!

I can play any racquet sport with either hand, that won me a lot of comps when I was younger in badminton as I never had to play a backhand shot or turn away from the net

Oddly enough, i throw much better right-handed, as well as playing all stick games (cricket, golf, hockey etc) right-handed.

I play guitar right-handed, but air-guitar left-handed, and when I restrung my guitar left handed, while it felt better, I'd been playing right-handed for a couple of years and left handed was just too big a step backwards in quality of guitar playing

I still consider myself a leftie, even though I utilise every part of my body

Here's one for ya, are you a true leftie or not... Spliff Rolling.. or more specifically, which side of your spliff does the roach sit? Do you roll with roach on the left or right? Obviously it's left for me, being and out and out lefty when it comes to rolling

I need to use both hands

I'm a lefty, tried learning guitar right handed, no use, but since switching to left much better, more natural to strum with the left IIiiiii.
Right side of the brain rules full stop.

Roach on the right - even though I have Doctored spliffs which my mates cant roll, with roaches on the left...

Liquid - good to have you back here again, (I'm lying ... as usual)

Forgot to mention, I'm ambidextrous with the nunchaku weapon! No small feat, as it is the most unpredictable weapon, ever. But I guess it is a weapon originally designed to be used with both hands anyway. . . does this still count?

I can catch with both hands......

not very good using just one though

i write with my left hand but throw with my right, i can brush my teeth with either hand and can switch a fork and knife from one hand to the other. it seems i do equal amounts with both

And it does seem to be that most people posting in this thread are lefties, before becoming semi-ambidextrous, lol

I wonder if thats because right-handed people only ever have to use their right hand, where as we use both so we become ambi.

LS, also this would seem to validate your point about lefties smoking weed too

SR, i think you are "right"

society is set up for righties, forcing us lefties to adapt. someone posted earlier about guitar, when i first started messing around with one i started off left handed as that was natural, but since most ppl play righty i switched it around and that was comfortable too

2Pac once made a tune called "White Mans World", i think he had smoked too much weed and was ment to entitle the tune "Right Hand World"!!!!....

I can only roll with the roach on the left, i have tried to skin up witht he roach on the right, but the roach end ends up bigger than the end you spark.....

SR, i think Tricky made the point of lefties being more inclined to smoke weed

I can write with both hands I tend to write with my right and draw paint with left. I favor my left for most things execpt writing. I have always been amibidex. and have always had a hard time telling which side was right or left. even to this day the only way I can tell is by making a L with thumb and forefinger on my left hand.

there seems to be a lot of ambi/lefty smokers, go us!
