    ambidextrous

    adj 1: equally skillful with each hand;

    i'd say you would have to be able to do the same thing with both hands

    i'm also a lefty player but writing with right hand is much faster than the left. Easy explanation, since most writing language starts from left to right... it's easy to trail from left to right with the right hand instead of hopping your left hand after every word. Also when writing right hand, you get less dirty since you can see what you wrote as you glide from left to right. Therefore writing with right hand is much more efficient.

    If you can write with both hands..
    and EXACT equal power

    then USE BOTH! Trick your opponent! If it is hit to ur backhand then switch hands! You'll ALWAYS be using forehand! smashing EVERY high shuttle..muwaha

    but if not ..
    then just use which hand that u usually write with or feel a lil better with.

    I'd choose to be left handed. I think people are subconciously adapted to right handed people since they aren't the minority.

    If i were to play with both hands, i dont think tat it will be tat easy because of the footwork that you'll have to adapt to when changing hands.

    Savy players would just keep driving to your left and right sides.. heh,heh.

    But keith has a point, I would also probably go left, just because of the fact fewer people are used to playing against lefties. There also this theory that the ball drops faster (?) when sliced with the left... but am not too sure of that.

    Changing hands would also take up valuable time. ;) I'd change it when I'll day a backhand clear though. My backhand sucks. :p:eek:

    I think so since there's less resistance compared with the right's. You can also do it with a backhand when using your right. I like slicing with my right though since there's more resistance. The shuttle speeds up then slows down. You can do great drops. :)
