If you must be appeased...I still haven't given up on this idea.
Yesterday I was attending the finals of the Diamond Pool Tour event here in Tucson (won by Scott Frost--no surprise). I happened to notice that 5 of the 16 finalists were left-handed players. This equates to 31% and since the percent of left handers in the population is only 10%, this means that lefties were more than three times their expected percentage.
Now I realize:
A) This is a very small sample, and
B) If it proves anything it might be that lefties are better than right-handed players on average. (There were 64 players in the event but I did not attend the first day so I didn't have a chance to sample the larger group.)
Maybe somebody who plays in a large league could take a larger sample. I still (seriously) think there might be something to this.
Left-handers are using their right side of their brain when using their left hand. The right side controls or at least is responsible for spatial relations. Is that an advantage? Probably.
Left-handers also play against more right-handers compared to right-handers playing against left-handers. If you subscribe to the theory that a righty will play to the "right side of the table," and lefties do the other side, then there's going to be that small percentage of misses and leaves that suddenly are more difficult for the opposite-handed player. Since lefties see more righty leaves/misses, then they're more "used to" seeing that side of the opposing table.
Goofy reasonings, IMO, but I suppose if you're looking for an advantage, there are two, minute as they may be.
