using the non-dominant hand...

[fundash]

I have noticed that while cubing, I usually only use my left (non-dominant) hand
I was wondering to what levels others do this...

Btw, this is NOT for OH!

Poll is multiple choice, select all that apply.

 

[JTW2007]

My non-dominant is my left, and I always use it for L, L2, and L'. I sometimes use it for D, F', U', and B.

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

I use my left hand(non-dominant) for all moves. So I just checked the moves that I use the most. My left hand is good at doing <L,U> algorithms. It's because my right hand is good at holding the cube in place, and is good at doing U moves (while my left hand sucks at U' if my left hand is holding the cube).

Left hand (non-dominant) for L, L', L2, B (though I can't think of an algorithm/case I use this move, perhaps occasionally in F2L), D. I used to do F' with left index too, but I've adjusted to right thumb.

With my non dominant hand (left) i only do L L2etc, D, F', U'

There's no way to only use your left hand when you're doing a speedsolve. You can't use it for R. o_O

The poll should have separate U and U' choices.

U includes U or/and U'

I have seen someone using his right hand for all moves. Its so akward the way he does it. He doe L' with his right thumb, L with right index, U' with right thumb and everything with his right hand.

I personally use my non-dominant hand as much as possible, but I'm slower with my non- dominant.

How come you both use left hand for B? I understand B', but not B.:confused:

I use right hand for B'.

I use left ring finger for B. In some cases (for example R2 B R', or R B R' I might used right index),

 

[elcarc]

the pole should have the prime moves, like U' and F', because thats all i use my left for, oh and B.
and of course all L moves

 

[Thomas09]

M should have been here. I use my left/ non dominant hand for M' and M2.

 

[waffle=ijm]

All. I'm a lefty and I have an alg that I just my right hand for L.

I also use my left hand for certain moves that just make the algorithms smoother and more manageable.

U includes U or/and U'

I know, but I do U with my right hand and U' with my left, therefore conflict!

Does he still manage to hold the cube with his left hand in any way? This seems very odd. :confused:

 

[linkmaster03]

I am a lefty, and I do U, R, and F moves with my right hand.

 

[krazedkat]

Can't answer... I don't have a nondominant hand...

 

[Carrot]

I mostly only use my left hand for last 2 faces... (on megaminx hehe )

 

[KubeKid73]

I just use it for the Ls and U'. I think that's it.
