Default Left or Right?

After reading the thread on the top playmakers in the NHL and if they shoot right or left I got to thinking.

What percentage of CPers are right-handed, what percentage are southpaws?

(maybe a poll? Mr. Mods?)

Being a south-paw I think I can safely say that Lefties do everything right

edit: what hand do you write with

Are you talking about in hockey, or in life?

Because I am right handed, but in hockey I shoot left.

Yup, I'm a lefty! Seems in my family there is one in every generation. Though my dad and grandfather were forced to use their right hand. I have three children and I'm happy to know my middle daughter is a lefty too!

I bat,shoot,golf and write left but throw a ball with my right hand.I am sopposed to be left handed but used my Dads ball glove when I was a kid,he's right handed,so that changed me forever.

Right handed writer, ball thrower, and racket swinger.
Left handed shot, golfer, and batter.

And Syl... I need both hands for that...

Right handed - shoot left. Snowboard goofy. All other sports (I can think of), right handed.

Lefty here. I didn't know a lot of lefties while I was growing up, but when I moved into Rez at the U of C, my three roommates and I were all lefties. I always thought that was strange.

Right - writing, throwing
Left - hockey, golf, baseball.

I never understood how someone could be right at golf, yet left at hockey and baseball...all three are so similar, that it seems natural that you'll always be the same 'handed' for those.

Thats the one I could never understand. Two swings seem similar to me, but I've seen a few folks like that.

Have you ever tried swinging a bat right handed, or a club left handed?
