There are exceptions...but in general that is consistent. Hence, more left handed shooters.
That's not quite correct, the bottom or middle hand is where the power and stability comes from. The top hand is where the control, finese, and reach come from.

The top hand provides range, control, reach, and some non-obvious power. While the bottom hand provides stability and power.

Doesn't explain why there are so many left hand shots though. As a lefty, and a left hand shot, I always thought it was strange to see right handed people also shoot left. Maybe its a matter of preference, dominant hand provides power OR control/finese.

But on topic, great job Scorp I do appreciate the detail and effort you put into all your work. This is next level though, well done!
