Race4LastPlace 31 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 whatever is most comfortable. go somewhere like GolfGalaxy or somewhere that lets you test clubs and swing away! Just see what feels best. I do know of some people that drive and hit right handed, but putt left handed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustpot 1 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I write lefty but play most sports "right" handed. Baseball for throwing and batting, golfing, hockey, etc. Only things I do lefty are one-handed sports like tennis.It's whatever is more natural for you. Pick up some clubs and just swing. If it feels wrong or one side has a lot better form, go with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty22 833 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I don't think it's a question we can answer for you. There is no set "rule" you need to follow. The suggestion to go to a shop and demo both right and lefty clubs is spot on. Go with what feels best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYR1982 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 I do everything right-handed except play hockey. This includes golf but there is no set rule like Monty said. The best thing you can do to find out is to try it out on your own but if it's of any matter to you, I rarely see people playing golf lefty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_v3 289 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 I play right handed even though I shoot left and bat lefty when I play baseball. I do putt lefty though. I don't feel I have enough touch putting right handed. My dad and grandfather both played right handed and are both do everything else lefty. My grandfather used to tell me that when he learned how to play that left handed clubs were hard to find. So he had to play righty. Now it should be easy to find left handed clubs, so you should definitely go with whats more comfortable. You could also go to a driving range and try both.I heard Phil Mickelson plays lefty because he learned from his parents who are lefty even though he is a righty with everything else.

Monty22 833 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 I tried to play righty at first, but couldn't do it. Looked all over and found some lefty clubs, felt much better. I don't play often enough to be any good, but you'll have a lot more fun using the correct clubs. I'm right hand dominant, but golf , play hockey and bat lefty BTW.
