Most pool tables are right handed. It tends to give leftys a considerable disadvantage.

A Guy who I play with regularly is right-handed in everything he does except pool which he shoots lefty. Come out to OKC and put some money down. 
Used to be you could walk into The Pocket Billiard Lounge in Binghamton, NY on any given Saturday and there would be a four or five handed ring game, all left handers! And there weren't many right handers who had to like playing with them, locally, at least.

That's my case, right-handed in everything but I'm a lefty in pool, rifle shooting ( hand gun I can do either ) and archery.
Kidding aside, I play right handed, but I've always felt that lefties had some kind of right side, left side brain advantage over righties that actually made shooting more natural for them and an asset. All the left hand players I know are very strong players.
Steve Mizerak did ok too btw.

I prefer the lag when the other player is opposite handed. 
Oh oh , i think i just lost a bet.
I surmised that you were left-handed and was just stirring the pot.
Please confirm which hand you play with and i'll pay these vultures.

I shoot pool, rifles and bows, left handed, everything else I do right handed. When I do jump shots on the pool table, I do the standard one left handed and the dart style right handed. It seems there are quite a few other people who do the same or some version of it. Go figure.

I try and be nice, being that I'm a lefty I'll lag on the right so that way my ass isn't in your face...that could be considered sharking lol....
Starting lefties will have problems being on the right handers side of the ball, but eventually it becomes part of your game, where as right handers never get over the rolls of a lefty....
like playing partners you usually find a lefty can play to his right handed partner but the right handed guy can't lay the rug down for the lefty.....
oh and they do make left handed pool cues you just have to know the right people
I'll also add that per capita I know more great playing lefties than righties....if I had to make a general comment I'd say in general lefties progress their game farther than righties.....

There doesn't seem to be an in between for lefties. They're either real good or there not so good.
I could probably name fifty or sixty great left-handed players of my generation alone.
Just because you come from an area that hasn't got ant doesn't mean they're not out there.

I'm sure Mike Sigel would have some interesting comments about that! Not to mention Dennis Hatch.
Babe cranfeild was a lefty too.
