Hand Care / Right handed, but use left hand to spin?

weird title

    I've been spinning for 7 months now, and I have REALY bad dexterity and flexibility in my right hand, so I'm thinking about switching hands because I'm much more flexible with my left. I'm a great spinner with my right, but I'm pretty good with my left as well. I was just wondering if anyone else switches their dominant hands to spin.
    Does anyone spin like this?

    My friend does. He's a lefty, but he's more comfortable with his right hand.

    I have seen people with similar case. My dad and eldest bro write with right but do everything else with left, that includes cutting and playing badminton which make them looks like a lefty. (oh no, i can't be sure that they are righty too.)

    I myself is not much like this, i'm right dominant and i do almost everything with right hand, except when i'm holding ice-cream and taking small food with hand, i'm more comfortable to use left. I'm sure my left is much weaker than right but if i'm willing to train some, i can do pretty much things with left hand. I'm able to learn certain tricks such as Ext TA faster than my right hand. mellow.gif

    I guess it's not uncommon for someone to switch hands usually or for certain things(pen spinning is one of these) but it's usually unheard of.

    It doesn't matter which hand you spin with, does it? Perhaps that shows your potential to be able to 2h1p or 2h2h better than others.

    2 storys

    my friend can spin almost dominantly wit left coz when he is on the computer, he he right mouses and left spins
    he is rather in ur face about his lh spinning is better than mine, but i'm pretty sure i'm better than him
    he doesn't youtube anything so you cant see

    2nd story:
    a math teacher that i once had (called him mr elton john, since he looked like elton john... we also have a science teacher that we call mr barry manalow for the same reason) said when he was at school, first year primary school, to "help" know which hand was their dominant, the teacher threw a ball and they wrote with which ever hand they caught it with.
    well, my math teacher was apparently kinda ambidextrious, but he was right dominant. the ball tended towards his left so he caught it with his left, and was forced to write with his left
    that was rather off topic....

    im left handed. i penspin with my left hand. but i contact juggle way better with my right hand. i also bat right handed, shoot basketball right handed, throw right handed, etc..... im pretty sure the only things i do left handed is write, wipe my ass, and masterbate biggrin.gif oh the only weird thing i can think of is that i throw darts with both hands.

    I can bend all my fingers at the middle joints with my left, but only two with my right. I'm seriously considering switching my dominant spinning hand even though I'm still seven months with my right.

    I'm right handed (eating, writing etc) but through the time i've noticed that couple tricks i can perform much better with my left hand - TA Harmonic, Fingerpass ( I can do +20% FP\min by left hand). My right hand was majorly injured + I have little bit crooked index in my right hand, so that could be a reason.

    Just spin with both, you can learn to bend joints on your fingers just like you can learn new tricks, just practice bending them.

    thats because in asian school/families they force you to write right-handed

    my dad is like that also, natural lefty but writes right.
