_Poll ([view on site](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/are-you-right-handed-or-left-handed/411902/1))_ I recently re edited a whole video for left handed players (shameless plug [https://youtu.be/RDc2o8qTi60](https://youtu.be/RDc2o8qTi60)) and after spending hours redoing what i already done, i wondered what percentage of players are even left handed being that most tutorials seem to be for right handed players. ---

I feel like most issues with this could be resolved by just using the terms “throw hand” and “non-throw hand” instead of right and left. ---

100% true but the _slight_ perfectionist in me wont allow it haha. Ive gotten comments on how it actually helped them remember it easier as its easier to not mis remember 2 identical sounding words. And i remember this really bothering me when i first started off for a few months, like yeah i got used to it but still is unideal imo ---

Consider this, 1/10 is 10%. So 1 out of 7 is higher than average, about 14%. Im bad at math so if im way off here’s the disclaimer, lol. ---
