UltraDunc Sep 2022 11:30pm, 10 Sep 2022 15,374 posts	0 UltraDunc What I find puzzling is that some games/sports I would play as right handed and some as left? Maybe who first showed my how to hold the bat or club , mind you I suppose golf clubs are right handed but cricket bats? I would play darts and snooker left obviously and throw left handed.

PaulaMc Sep 2022 7:48am, 11 Sep 2022 11,366 posts	0 PaulaMc I’m left handed for writing but all over the place otherwise, probably because I was taught with right handed tools, etc. One thing I’ve never understood is why some lefties write with their hands at weird angles - I hold the pen quite ‘normally’ and have never had issues with smudging so it baffles me when I see it. One oddity is that I peel veg etc using a knife with my right hand but then move it to my left hand for chopping or slicing. And I’ve never figured out sports that need equipment (golf, tennis). I have no idea or feeling for whether to hold them in my left or right hand so I just don’t play them!
