    Ambidextrous

    Jamie,
    While it take much practice there are also many benifits to be able to turn left handed. One of the biggests benefits is being able to rough out a bowl and stand out of the way and to the side of where the chips are flying. There are huge benefits and with practice I can say your right handed skills and confidence will improve greatly. Sounds like you are on the right path.

    This is an interesting thread. I've been turning off and on for about a year now and I keep catching myself changing hands into what feels natural. I've been trying to stop myself because I thought it was a bad habit. But according to this thread, it is encouraged.

    The 2 guys I took a class from never switched hands. Also, I've flipped through Raffin's beginning turning DVD and I never saw him change hands (maybe I missed it). So am I understanding this thread correctly, that it's okay to switch hands?
