Apparently most people don’t have the thing I have where my non-dominant hand is stronger than my dominant hand. Throughout my life, I’ve always found the intuitive distribution of labor, hand-use-wise, to involve using my right hand for any task which involves precise movements or quick reaction times (writing, mouse-movement, fencing, et cetera), and my left for any task which involves brute force and can afford to sacrifice precision (opening tightly-closed bottles and jars and heavy doors and so forth, probably some other categories of tasks I’m forgetting right now).
I wonder if this is related to the thing where, despite doing most two-handed activities in the prototypically right-handed fashion, I’ve always done minigolf and baseball batting in the prototypically left-handed fashion.
I wonder how common this is. All I really know about it is that I have the thing and my mom does not. (I found out when she expressed surprise at me opening jars with my left hand.)
I’ve never played baseball; I am not sure how I hold a mini-golf club, or for that matter what the prototypically right/left-handed fashions of mini-golfing would be.
