I used to be a right handed yoyoer, but now I am a left. This was because I broke my right middle finger and was so determined to keep going that I starte with my left hand. I found that it felt natural to me. So to this day I am a left handed 1A yoyoer.  
What I want to know is, how many others are there?

Does anybody think its harder to learn tricks because everybody tries to show you right handed?

Well when watching a tutorial its an exact mirror image so i find it easier. However, it really throws me off when they say “left had do this then right hand do that” I would prefer “throw hand and non throw hand.”

M.Dev is right. It really throws (:wink:) me off when People say left hand this right hand that. I used to do complete tricks wrong for weeks until I got used to learning like this.
