I have heard that after you lose say, your sight, your hearing is better than before. Or you lose your hearing then your sight is better and so on. (lose one sense, others are strengthened).

So, what I was gonna ask is do any of you guys think that because I have only 2 fingers on my right hand, that my other hand can be maneuvered easier since I'm missing 3 fingers?

Just to help compare a bit:

OH single (left hand): 15.98 | 2H single - 11.64
OH average (my general average, not PB): 25.50 | 2H average - 17-18

Someone who had an average similar to mine would probably look something like this:

OH single (right hand probably): 24.63? | 2H single - 10.26
OH average - 35-37 | 2H average - 17-18

And if anyone does average around what I average, please post what you average. (and post your singles)
 
Your OH is really good compared to 2H so you might be right.

2H Average : 15.7x
2H Best : 10.78
OH Average 27.7x
OH Best : 19.8x

Those are my personal bests. So I do a little better at 2H, but worse at OH.
 
Yea, i think it depends a lot on what events you practice. Now I average 16-17 2H and 17-18 OH. It all depends on practice. You may have had a better an initial skill at OH but someone can practice OH and get just as good as you while I odnt really think someone can easily practice hearing.

Well, my 2h average is about 15 and my Oh average is around 32.
 
I think the hearing/eyesight to due to the fact that people's brains don't have to process those signals anymore.

I think your situation is due more to the fact that you probably practice almost everything with your one hand.
 
Ah so my theory is mostly correct, but Lofty is also right. I do practice OH a lot...but that's just because I'm pretty slow at 2H :P
Are you sure you didn't mix up cause and effect here?

*Thinking* Fine then :( - "I guess since I suck at 2H, I practice OH a lot."

@Bryan: That might be it, I just use my left hand more than my right, making it...stronger?
