Which hand do you use for 3x3 OH?

[TanookiTrev]

So, I've never seriously tried to get into OH but if I were to try is there anything to say which hand I should use or is it just personal preference like most other choices in cubing? (I just figure if I'm starting from a blank slate I don't want to get into any bad habits if I can avoid it).

I am amdextrious ( write with both hands) and do OH with both hands

I'm pretty sure that's cheating

 

[Michael Womack]

I think he means that he can do OH equally on both hands.

I think you should learn to recognise a joke.

Most use their non-dominant hand, since it is a lot easier to mould your weaker hand into doing something that would expected to be easier with your stronger hand. But there are a minority that use their dominant hand for OH solving.

I'm not sure if this is correct. Look at all of the left handers who voted in the poll. Most of them use their left hand for OH and not their right hand. I think it *may* suggest that our dominant hand for OH solving does not depend on our dominant hand for 2H solving.

Bump. I'd like to see more votes, particularly the left handers. Also is there a way to change what you voted for? I voted for the wrong thing by accident.

 

[BboyArchon]

Voted. Right handed for writing and right handed for OH

I use my left hand for OH, because although I do most other stuff with my right, it can't grip onto the cube as well as my left.

 

[Hssandwich]

I write left
I do OH right

 

[JasonDL13]

I'm ambidextrous, thanks to the computer mouse being on the right side of the , scissors for being right handed, ect.

However, I write with my left, and I one hand with my left.

 

[karrot321]

write with right, OH with left

 

[NewCube1]

Write with right,OH with right

 

[Berd]

Write with left, OH with left. Gifted...

Why is left better?

people don't want to learn the mirrors of the algs they know.

That too and CFOP is mostly RU heavy which is easier left handed.

cfop is symmetrical. it can be LU heavy if you want. or equally both.

 

[PJKCuber]

Yes, but most people are right handed and thus most for most people it is RU heavy.
My talk: I don't really do OH, but when I do it, I use my left hand. It is way more comfortable than my right hand.

 

[cashis]

im ambidextrous and am equally fast

 

[Robert-Y]

Another bump. Would be interesting to get more votes again
By the way, you can now change your vote if you made the wrong choice by accident.
