Learning to shoot with your opposite hand

[Ak Guy]

Hard to do.

I try it when no one is watching, it is that bad.

Efren makes it look easy, he could beat me left handed with his dominant eye closed.

I'm right handed and can't shoot worth a sht left handed but it works for me.

I believe jay helfert is the authority on the matter.

If only we could talk to him...

I cant make a ball left handed and dont feel like my pool me has suffered one iota because of it.

I'm no authority but its pretty obvious that being able to shoot with either hand is advantageous. Some of the greats had this skill, most notably Buddy, Keith, Sigel and Wade Crane.

I think the learning curve is faster the second time and I recommended 30 minutes of practice a day for 30 days.to develop your opposite hand. I lasted ten days in this regimen a few years back and even that greatly improved my left handed play.
