I use both my left and right hands

Left:
Write
Brush teeth
Hold spoon

Right:
Bowl
Kick
Throw

I'm kind of weird. Kind of like precision with left hand and power with right. My brain can't make up its mind

I am normally right-handed. I can use most tools left-handed if I need to. For the last six years I have bowled with either hand.

I can use either hand, can write legibly with both. faster with right
baseball bat both/ throw both better right, when had a shoulder injury played left center softball and caught with left hand took off mitt and threw left handed
football throw left, kick left
basketball can shoot with either , better with left
soccer can kick with either leg
brush teeth and eat left
Bowling right usually but bowled left for 1 and 1/2 years due to rotator cuff and carpal tunnel surgery. avg 10 pins lower lefty / should have went to a 14lb ball lefty
I broke my left arm when I was 4/5 in several places. fell out of a tree and caught my arm in the crook of a branch. Just started doing things right handed.

I can bat both left and right, but I throw the ball left handed like a girl :)

football throw left, kick left
Throw right, and I never really did much kicking of the ball.

basketball can shoot with either , better with left
I can throw up prayers that turn into bricks with either hand.

soccer can kick with either leg
What the hell is soccer?

brush teeth and eat left
Any object that is pointed towards my face must be in my right hand. (safety)

Bowling right usually but bowled left for 1 and 1/2 years due to rotator cuff and carpal tunnel surgery. avg 10 pins lower lefty / should have went to a 14lb ball lefty
I bowl right, but I can release the ball just as well left handed, but I'm a severe spray can left handed.

I broke my left arm when I was 4/5 in several places. fell out of a tree and caught my arm in the crook of a branch. Just started doing things right handed.
You fell off of the ugly tree and got stuck on the way down?




Just some extra crap to make the site happy.

I'm not, except that when I was young, I wanted to learn how to throw a frisbee, and a teenaged neighbor taught me how to throw as he did, which is left-handed. I can throw it with either hand, but better lefty, and I'm a righty.

I am. I can't bowl left-handed, but I can do other basic things with both hands, like write, eat. etc.

Sorta... I bowl righty only, but can write with my left, use my computer mouse at work with my left, and am left-footed. I think my brain got confused at some point.

If I remember correctly, humans are the only species where being ambidextrous is not the norm.

I started out bowling right handed (grew up right handed), but had to switch to bowling left handed because of irritation of a herniated disc that only bothered me when I had weight on the right side of my body.

Since switch to left hand, I now have the coordination to do a lot of things (except write) equally well with both hands.

I envy you all. I'm lucky that I can type using my left hand :p. I tried to bowl lefty once. Out of the 4 balls I threw, all of them went straight to the gutter.

I probably can't bowl left handed, but I can't say I've tried either. I can do plenty of things left handed though as long as it's not a really fine motor skill such as writing or tying a shoe with one hand.

I'll throw my 2 cents, I was born in Soviet Union and my teacher told me to write with my right hand, so I do that. In lifting weights http://youtu.be/BCS7glkhxzY here is a 100 lb dumbbell swing by my left arm, I've done 5 lbs less with my right, and basically 5 percent differential in favor of my left arm. All throwing movements left handed, but I play table tennis right handed. I kick much better with right, and can jump higher of my right, so I'm right leg dominant.

I am not ambidextrous. I do think I was meant to be a left-hander, because my mother told me how when I was learning to write, I naturally tried to use my left hand but she taught me to use my right. I most thing that are learned with my right hand (writing, any kind of sports). However, I do many things that come naturally with my left, such as opening doors, steering car/bike with one hand. I pick things up with left more often I think, and stock with shelves at work with left. I cannot, however, do most things with either hand so am not ambidextrous. Any particular task I can perform comfortably with one or the other, not both.
