New player -- cross eye dominant

[Patrick Johnson]

Someone suggested being cross dominant was an advantage.

I don’t think he meant it’s an advantage overall, more like there’s a compensating advantage (easier off hand) to mitigate the disadvantage (harder on hand).

Someone suggested being cross dominant was an advantage. I feel it is when I can't shoot with my dominant hand.

I'm left eyed, when I shoot left (non dominant) handed I have the coordination challenge but the ergonomics are better. I shoot enough right handed that I have largely mitigated the ergonomic challenge. If I had bad coordination and ergonomics shooting left handed would be a far, far worse proposition.
