Anyone try to throw left handed?

Earlyer this year I had tennise elbow, went out to give the left hand a try. Failed,could have tried more but I was just discusted with the out come and wanted to play so bad.

I just started throwing left handed. I am right handed of course. I am actually amazed at how much it helps to have a short left hand approach shot. I have always felt that a hyzer shot is more accurate than a anhyzer shot for me. An anhyzer shot just doesn't have the same forgiveness that a hyzer shot has. For example, if an anhyzer shor flexes out then you are left with a long putt.

Right now my range left handed is short however after only a few practice sessions I am comfortable enough to throw left handed in a tourny, did it three times in a tourny this weekend.

Any one else start adding left handed shots into their routine?

I have a buddy that can out throw me with his left hand and he is right handed. We call him THE FREAK.

I throw left handed all the time

I've been working dilligently to develop my left hand since I started playing last year. I suppose it's slowed my development a little but I have no doubt it's going to pay off in the long run. Right now my LHBH is about 90% of my RHBH.

There are days, however, when my left is more consistant than my right due mainly to slowing down and really focusing on correct mechanics as cmcolomb mentioned before.

I dont know if I'll ever putt lefty (although I practice this too) but if the shot needs a right side finish, or the winds, lie, etc call for it, I'm totaly comfortable using my left now.

im a righty and i cut my rh thumb badly this summer. i drove lefty for a few days after it was cut till it healed enough to play righty again. those games were fun. but very dissapointing

I can putt short distances (rarely finding occassion to do so) but I try to use lefty approach shots when it's a simpler throw, usually those ~60'-70'.

Just as with football (meaning soccer) and basketball it's good to develop both sides, IMHO.

I have messed with it, but I usually prefer my forehand.
