The funny thing is that I can swing a right handed club, if I only use my right arm. The moment I place my left hand on that club, I can no longer do it. I guess that means that even with my regular left swing, my right arm is the dominant one? Anyone else?
One theory I heard (and applies to me) is that your "handedness" is determined by your dominant eye. I am right eye dominant so it becomes my forward eye, thus I stand with my right side towards the target.
Test for eye dominance:
Make a circle with you thumb and index finger (like the okay sign) with both hands. Keep you hands about a foot apart and keeping both eyes open and look through the circles (like a telescope) and pick out an object. Now close one eye, did the object move?? If so your other eye is the dominant one (the one where the object did not move).
Just a theory.. |
I am ambidextrioussssssss or however that word is spelled. I write with my right hand, but can do almost as well with my left. I switch hit in baseball. I play hockey left handed. When I started golf I tried both. Right or left I hit good, but had a lot more distance as a lefty. Right handed I hit the driver about 240 while as a lefty I am consistantly 290 to 300..........what did I quote you for? Oh yeah. I am left eye dominant and play golf left. I think this helps me a lot because standing on the right side of the ball, my back eye is the strong one and helps to "keep your eye on the ball" further through the swing. My head is coming up with my shoulder turn, but the eyes are still on the ball.
