I use my off hand. I shoot right handed and write left handed, I also have a dominant left eye. It was weird how natural it felt to shoot lefty the first time.
Use a Bridge or opposite hand........

Just watching the Snooker Champion of Champions and around 2 hours and 30 minutes the commentary address shooting with the other hand.
I have bragged on my opposite handed accomplishments elsewhere on this board.
While not ambidextrous or amphibious I was able to develop my Left hand to equal the Right. It didn't come natural or easily but has paid hugely over time.
My morning fitness program has me running my calisthenics left vs right. Adding the elements of competition has provided a way to simulate competition while practicing solo.
I found that left handed shooting is more by feel while my right handed play is more measured. Both work just fine.

Well at 3 hours they are still commenting on the young players switching hands. I gotta think Ronnie has influenced them to develop the other hand. Along the way the discussion does touch on Rhobido being butt hurt by Ronnie beating him using the other hand.
Any bridge head made of a material harder than the cue shaft can ding the shaft if the shaft "rattles" in the valley of the bridge head. Ideally the cue shaft doesn't rattle, but some bridge shots are more awkward than others. Between the vibration from the hit and a less than perfect follow-through, it can happen. Any dings are likely to be small, but they'll still feel like craters on an otherwise smooth shaft.
I've never had that happen in all my years of playing.
The plastic on moose head type bridges or the plastic ones most pool halls have must be softer than maple.
I can't help but wonder if you're using the same brain hemisphere when shooting left- vs right-handed.I found that left handed shooting is more by feel while my right handed play is more measured. Both work just fine.
Note: I'm not suggesting that your corpus callosum is in any way damaged. The different shooting styles just reminded me of stories about people after they have had partial or complete callosotomies.
Well Google tells me this.
- My experience is in accord with this.
If it's something I can do a bank, I'll bank it. If not, an extension bridge. If im lazy and dont care, I'll switch hands.
The decorum is ahtterly stifling theh...Well at 3 hours they are still commenting on the young players switching hands. I gotta think Ronnie has influenced them to develop the other hand. Along the way the discussion does touch on Rhobido being butt hurt by Ronnie beating him using the other hand.
Oh yeah in another interview Ronnie says he can make a 147 left handed. He has yet to do it in competition. Shrug
Wise choice frankly.Oh yeah in another interview Ronnie says he can make a 147 left handed. He has yet to do it in competition. Shrug

i think it's spelled robidoux. canadian guy. as weird as it sounds his game went away completely and he quit after his cue was destroyed by his cue repairman. iirc his repairman took offense that alan had used another guy to put on a tip, so he smashed the cue.
