So do you throw lefty, righty, or are you ambidextrous like for 3A!! I would love to here which way you throw and then what you like more about throwing with a certain hand than the other!! I’m sorry if this makes no sense but I would love for anyone to post!! It will be much appreciated!! Thanks!!  
Example:

I throw lefty and the thing I like about it most is that there aren’t as many lefty throwers out there than righty throwers!!

Jordan, out!! ;D

I’m a righty. But what do you mean “what doI like about it”? It’s comfortable? It feels correct?

I’m better that way? I just don’t understand the question…

Yeah… I was afraid that it would make no sense at all, but, yeah you can answer like that!! I just meant, like me, I like being lefty because there aren’t as many people out there that are lefty!! Sorry it probably still doesn’t make any sense!!

I could throw both, but I prefer right, silly Kindergarten teacher forced me to choose between a hand and stick with it for writing. She was a jerk, but still, thanks to that, I lost some of my Ambidextrious-ness. lol

Lefty, and use Lefty String. A little ambi tho, play a little bit of 3a. I like being a lefty cuz my partner who performs with me is a Righty and we can do some interesting tricks back and forth together 🙂

I’m getting better being ambidextrous but still a righty for 99% of everything. I did shoot a billiards competition last week and shot lefty on 2 shots that won me the game. YoYoing has it’s benefits cuz I never had any lefty skills till now.

I’m left handed but I’m slightly cross-dominant. I learned to throw lefty but could have just as easily learned to do it righty. 🙂

Throw lefty, because I’m left handed and because have a dodgy right arm which kinda rules me out from throwing righty…

Righty for now…  
It was the hand I started throwing with so that’s why it has stayed that way. In my opinion it is easier to learn right-handed because most tutorials are taught that way. Lefties usually have to do it mirrored.
