Lefty swinging right

12-02-2003, 03:33 PM

I posted this as a reply to another thread but thought it would be better out there as a new thread.

Question

I noticed in golow's post the comment on Miller being left handed but swinging right.

This my situation. I am left handed but the right hand clubs feel right. I bat right, use a right hand hockey stick but hold rackets in my left and use a left hand bow. I am left eye dominant when aiming the bow.

Will this affect my use of RH clubs and if so should I be doing something to compensate for it?

Lefty swinging right

I'm exactly the same. I'm very left handed, but swing a club right-handed. My brother-in-law (who happens to play a lot more squash than he does golf) is right handed, and reckons that he feels like his golf swing is a double-handed forehand. (the power and control come mainly from his right hand). I reckon that my power and control (what there is of it) comes from my left hand.

I have no idea what the conventional wisdom is, but I know if I swing left-handed it looks like a cow giving birth to a roll of barbed wire.
