Inspired by last night's GDT discussion. Discuss which activities you do with which hand. I'm just curious. If you're in doubt, according to a book I read, psychologists define one's handedness as your primary writing hand.
RIGHT HANDED. EXCEPTION IS WHEN I USE FORK AND SPOON I HAVE FORK IN MY LEFT HAND. AND I OBVIOUSLY HAVE STICK TO THE LEFT, LIKE MOST RIGHT HANDED PEOPLE.Inspired by last night's GDT discussion.

To be fair, I can write with my right hand, but it looks like the handwriting of someone in kindergarten. I posted this over on the Coyotes board a little while ago:Ambidextrous. I write lefty, shoot and golf righty, throw righty, and when I played baseball I was a switch hitter.
Ninjaed, was going there. That was hilarious. Provided many years of mirth for us Tarholesfor all the nc state people / people who want to make fun of NC State, we need an amphibious option. look up Charles Shackleford if you arent familiar with the reference.
SHOOT WITH WHAT? STICK, GUN, SOMETHING ELSE?Ambidextrous. I write lefty, shoot and golf righty, throw righty, and when I played baseball I was a switch hitter.
I’ve heard that it depends more on what age you start and what other sports you play, than handedness. If you start really young, your dominant hand is more comfortable higher, so you shoot offhand. But if you start older or have already played golf or baseball, righties tend to shoot right.STICK IS GENERALLY A REVERSE OF YOUR WRITING HAND.

I also had this to say because they think I'm weird for being left handed:

Where is the option for ambisinistrous people?My handwriting looks equally bad with both hands.

This makes sense. I imagine that most American kids play baseball before they play hockey, so the higher hand theory checks out.I’ve heard that it depends more on what age you start and what other sports you play, than handedness.

Agreed. shoot lefty in hockey, throw and swing lefty. "The Natural".I’ve heard that it depends more on what age you start and what other sports you play, than handedness. If you start really young, your dominant hand is more comfortable higher, so you shoot offhand. But if you start older or have already played golf or baseball, righties tend to shoot right.

First organized sport I played was hockey starting at four, so I shoot left as a right handed person. However, I start little league a year later, and because I identified as a righty, all my coaches and parents taught me to bat as a righty. But having already played hockey as a lefty, it became very easy for me to switch back and forth and a could switch hit with power (for a little leaguer) pretty quickly. I can throw and catch with both hands as well, but usually do that as a righty. Except a frisbee, can’t throw those with my right for whatever reason. When I ultimately switched to playing goalie, I played that as a righty only.Hockey is a weird one to me. My first experience with anything close to hockey was one Christmas, my dad cut the bottom of a Christmas tree, and thinking that it looked like a hockey puck, I grabbed a broom and pretended it was a hockey stick, put on my inline skates, and had fun in the driveway for hours. I was around seven years old at the time and had already played golf for several years (right handed) but held the broom like a left-handed hockey stick. I asked my parents for a street hockey stick that Christmas and received a left-handed stick. That's how I came to shoot left in hockey. Playing goaltender is a little weird to me as well, because I catch right, but because you're supposed to handle the puck with your stick hand on top and glove hand on bottom, it's as if you're shooting right, so it's completely backwards. Playing softball growing up, I was a switch hitter early on, and actually made better contact as a right-handed hitter, but abandoned trying to bat that way because batting left handed feels way more comfortable. Also, I was left eye dominant, which is why, regarding another topic brought up, I shoot a rifle, shotgun, handgun, and bow all left handed. I have keratoconus so I'm now right eye dominant, but I still shoot left handed. I just see at only about 20/50 out of my left eye even with my contact lenses in.
