I have been noticing there are a lot of Leftie Pool players.

What side, or hand is your strong side?

I'm left handed but I'm not sure what you mean by strong sided...

I play

pool left handed

golf right handed

bowl left handed

throw a frisbee right handed

throw a baseball left handed

wipe me arse right handed.
 
Im right handed but I play pool left handed because my cousin taught me how to shoot when we were young and hes left handed.
 
I am left handed, but I do play pool right handed. I play pretty decent left handed as well.

Southpaw
 
I shoot pool lefty, bowl lefty, write lefty, golf lefty, and bat lefty. Napolean bonaparte, Julius ceaser, and Alexander the great were all lefties.

Long live the lefty

Im right handed for everything else....... but I shoot lefty..... cant explain!


Ditto!

I even shoot with the rake with my right hand, get that!
 
All you people who can do multiple things with both hands really amaze me, I cant brush my teeth left handed!
 
Thanks to my stroketrainer i can play with either hand. I am better as a righty but am not afraid to shoot lefty if i have to. I have noticed that most lefty's seem to have better CB control. Go figure. My late best friend made his son a lefty just so he could be a good pool player and he is getting there. When i played ball i could bat either hand and that was a real good thing and it does help to be able to play pool either way also. (JMHO)
 
I eat left handed and write right handed.

I play all sports right handed except pool and shooting long guns, hand guns I shoot right handed.

Tools I use either hand but I'll grap a wrench, hammer or saw with my left hand every time.

I'm right eye dominant.

I walk up stairs left foot first, put on pants left foot first, and put my left shoe on first.

Think many top players are Lefties like Scott “Freezer” Frost, Mike Siegel, and a couple of others.


Actually Mike Sigel is right handed in everything else. When he first started to play pool he thought right handed meant that you make a bridge with your right hand so that's how he learned to play. I always thought his form looked awkward and that explains it.

Bugs Rucker was a righty, had an accident and hurt his shoulder, I think it was his shoulder, and switched to left. His form is/was also extremely awkward looking.

Didn't Bugs pass away a few years back?

Bugs passed recently.
 
I'm a lefty ...

I do it all left handed .... I find it very hard to find a left handed pool cue ... Much like left handed golf clubs they are far and few between... You would think that seeing some of the best players are leftys these things would be easier to find... ;)
