Which hand do you use for 3x3 OH?

[ThomasJE]

Right handed; solve right handed. My right hand is so much stronger than my left; probably because I do so much with my right hand (badminton, table tennis, some other stuff and a little darts).

 

[FinnGamer]

right/right probably the same reason as thomas

 

[a small kitten]

Right handed but use my left for OH. I am also a violinist.

 

[bgdgyfer]

Lefty and use left hand for OH.

 

[Akiro]

You should add the option : Haven't decided yet!

Right hand VS left Hand OH solving

Just carious about solving the cube OH.
Like i'm right handed but do OH solves wit my left hand. Wondering if this is true for left handed people to do OH solves with right hand.

 

[DarioRubik]

I'm left handed and i've always used the left one for OH.

I'm left handed and I do OH with my left hand.
In my opinion there are so many right handed people doing OH with left hand because of algs for TH - most of them are for right handed with a lot of RU moves, it's easier to do RU moves with left hand in OH and you don't need to change your algs when you start doing OH.

I'm left handed and I do OH with my right hand. I didn't know how rare this is until I came across a few polls like the ones which Antoine linked to.

Maskow: But how do you explain why even most left handed cubers use their left hand for OH?

 

[Maskow]

Because they also use algs for right handed with RU moves

 

[sneaklyfox]

Shouldn't those left-handers be using algs for left handed with LU moves instead? Wouldn't their dominant hand be faster doing most of the work?

The explanation is probably that most of the solving guides are right handed. When you are a beginner, you don't bother yourself with solving time and speedcubing, thus you learn right handed algorithms from the guides (a beginner usually don't risk to change algorithms by himself), even if you are left handed. And later, you just simply too lazy to change all your right handed algorithm. And with pratice, you can be as fast with right hand, even if you are left handed.

Firstly, you should read wiki:
So, you know that
"While it may appear most obvious to use the dominant hand, both hands work as well for one-handed solving; in fact, the non-dominant left hand is more often used by right-handed cubers, who find R and U moves easier with the left hand. It is also helpful to do OH with a hand that is already used to holding the cube. Either hand, and dominant or dominant, can be very fast. Use whichever feels comfortable."

Is "Ether OH solving" when you hold oxygen gas in your lungs while solving a cube in each hand? I think I'll just stick with LH solving.

 

[Ross The Boss]

more comfortable with right but im just as fast (sometimes faster) with my left

 

[ben1996123]

right handed, right hand OH.

Re: Right hand VS left Hand OH solving

I'm right handed and use my left hand for oh
