Hand Care / right hand to left hand and vice versa

    When i learned sonic with my right hand, it took me 2 nights of practice to be able to do it (i know, im slow). After a few months of pen spinning, i tried doing sonic with my left hand and i had able to do it after an hour. My confusion is why were i able to do it easily with my left hand when it took me a long time to learn sonic with my right hand?

    could someone explain any theory about it? mellow.gif

    ummmm......i guess it's the fact that some people (such as me) are not ambidextrous. I have the same problem as well, but I guess that the first time learning the trick is the hardest. Then, for the other hand, it is easier. smile.gif

    the first time you learn it your learning the motion of how to do it then when you try with ur left hand all it has to do is mimic the motion of your right hand.

    less than 0.01% of the population is naturally ambidextrous.

    lol, weird things happen to me 2, like, i learned charge, and after learning on left hand, i could do it on my right without practicing. same with ta and infinity, twisted sonic. i am ambidexterous(kinda). i use my left for writing and eating, hold stuff with left. everything else, sports etc, movement, i use right. strange

    When you learn to do it with one hand your brain has a slightly easier time translating the new movement to your non-dominant hand so you can usually learn easy tricks really fast once you can do them with your good hand. It has something to do with understanding how the trick is done, what hand movements are required and muscle memory. I've found this only works for easy tricks though.

    I was bored and I was holding my pen in 23 of my left hand I suddenly did Twisted Sonic 23-12 without practice and it's smooth too ph34r.gif

    And I ended up instantly doing Charge 23 on my left hand too.

    But yeah, most likely due to the understanding the motion/execution of the trick and that it's easier for the left hand to learn the trick.

    Nah, works with every trick. All part of muscle memmory.

    Cont midbaks and ipba rev 2.0 was a lot easier to learn on my left hand. Just depends on how good you are with the trick.

    At least you can SPIN with your nondominant hand. my left hand is like physically retarded or something i can barely do a sonic palm side. dry.gif

    and yea..pretty much when you switch to your non-dominant hand you know whats going on, so it'll come to you alot quicker
