Poll: Percentage of Lefty Cubers!

[Dene]

I don't really know how to answer this poll. I consider myself to be right handed, but I am very aware of the fact that my left hand is highly competent compared to most right handed people.

In cubing I'm very mixed-handed. For OLL/PLL I mostly use righty algs, just because those are what I learned, however instead of learning, for example, Ra and Rb, I just learnt one alg and mirrored it (same applies for most PLLs that can be mirrored). I also do my U perms lefty. For H perm I use my left hand for M slice and right hand for U moves >.< For F2L I just use whichever hand is more convenient at the time. To be honest I think this slows me down because I switch between hands all the time, but w/e I don't care about being fast anymore ^_^

I use my right hand for OH.

- Left-handed or right-handed, in non-cubing stuff (such as writing)?
- Do you prefer to cube right handed (R,U is faster) or left handed (L,U is faster)?
- Do you OH with left hand or right hand?

Right, left, right

I prefer left-hand dominant algs. 20 years ago I picked up The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube by James G. Nourse, but did not like solving the LL on the D layer, so I inverted all of the sequences in his solution with a z2, converting all of the right-hand dominant D-layer algs into left-hand dominant U-Layer algs. Now, I still prefer the left-handed executed Anti-Sune, and solve Sune with a Bruno type alg: F R' U2 R F' R' F U2 F' R In-place D-layer corner twists with L' U' L U L' U' L D L' U L U' L' U L D'; in-place U-layer corner twists with L D' L' D L D' L' U L D L' D' L D L' U' whereas the majority of solutions show R' D R D' ...

Writing, Cubing Algs., One-handed: Right, Left, Undecided

I write left handed, but I mostly do algs with R moves. I think part of this is that for big cubes, the hand that isn't turning the cube is stabilizing the cube, and that actually takes plenty of coordination as well. My left hand is also doing a very specialized task in holding the cube while I do R,U algs. It's less the case for 3x3, though.

I'd like to see 3 different data points per person:
- Left-handed or right-handed, in non-cubing stuff (such as writing)?
- Do you prefer to cube right handed (R,U is faster) or left handed (L,U is faster)?
- Do you OH with left hand or right hand?

For me it's right-handed, right-handed, left hand.

For me :
- Lefty for most things, but righty for a few ones like for example toothbrushing or using the mouse. Don't know why.
- Lefty for the cube.
- I do OH with right hand.

Right, right, right.

Left, Right, Left.

For hockey I play goalie left handed but shoot right. I'm righty at anything that involves a stick like hockey, golf, or lacrosse. For everything else, I'm lefty.

As far as cubing, I think my cube habits have more to do being exposed to more RU algs. So I do OH lefty and am faster at RU algs than LU algs in general.

Right right right

I write with my left hand, but I prefer RU algs over LU while doing 2H, but I do one handed with my right hand and like LU algs when I do OH..
