See page 31 for preferred hand for OH.

I am right handed and I OH solve with my left hand. No idea why.

I just start OH and so I am still trying both variants.
I think i will go with the left.

I only have one problem. All Tutorials like jpern or feliks cubeskills teach to do R' turns with my pinky but there is no chance I get my finger to this position, not even with small cubes and big hands :rolleyes:
Is there a trick? In the moment I do R' with my index finger from the top and R with my ring finger from the bottom

i dont know why but im righthanded and i find right hand easier for OH.

and i also find my left hand very good for LUF move algs compared to my right hand doing RUF algs

and i use my right hand for m moves not my left

im left handed but I use my left hand for most of my moves.

I find it extremely challenging also and haven't got it down myself. Nearly everyone will find it tough at first but with enough dedication it can be done. But for some it's probably literally impossible to do with ease. You can still your use ring finger if you haven't gotten used to it or are literally incapable of doing it with pinky.

One habit you should try to kill is index R'. I do that sometimes too and it is a major issue, very slow.
