does being left handed change anything,

[n0nco]

i recently thought about how i say a somewhat old video by jperm about pll algs, and i saw they we're all lefty algs, so i thought, does it change anything? im personally left handed and find righty algs easier then lefty, but maybe its harder for right handed people? so i made this thread, if you have any reasoning post down below,

I'm right handed but i prefer lefty algs because they use a right handed U2 double flick, which i cant do with left.

You just have to do what your comfortable with

for me nothing tho because I am good with both hands

Left Handed myself.
Humans are weird in general. I personally am right eye dominant, so intuitively I try to look at everything mostly with my right eye. That makes solving dominantly with my left hand difficult, despite the gain in dexterety, but makes Sq1 algorithms way less of a hassle.

In principle, due to most WCA puzzles being symmetrical in nature, there is no objective gain to be found. Which means all differences will come from the subjective human side.
For example, many(maybe even most) full ZBLL users actually mirror their algs, making the total algorithm count go down by 40(?) Percent. That is subjectively better for ZBLL and subjectively worse for PLL

There are Algorithm Mirroring tools but they are a hassle if you have to use them for every algorithm.

The only thing that might change is that you might be better with left hand dominant algs.

I'm right handed but I assume left handed solvers just get really good at mirroring algs. A similar analogy is that by doing fmc, I've gotten really good at inverting algs

I am left handed and I think it's hard to do one handed because I can't do any of the algs very well
