I’m right handed and shoot most shots that way. I don’t shy away from shooting lefty when it comes up. My dad is a lefty and I hate taking the time to get the rake off the rack. So, I just shoot it off handed. I’m probably 75% or better. I can draw the ball a couple feet or stop shot if necessary. No breaking or jumping though. My left handed bridge isn’t good enough for that level of skill. :thumbup:
Reanne Evans, Women’s World Snooker champion was interviewed. She shoots both left and right. She was asked why? She said it wasn’t intentional but that she started young and was just tool lazy to use the rake.
I shoot both ways and rarely use a rake on a snooker table. Almost never on a pool table. Likely started the same...couldn’t be bothered. I take my time in a game but at home I bang balls around and have fun. Two seconds to flip the cue around.
