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.
I mean I also open jars and so on with left hand, but I think it’s just because I typically hold jars and bottles with my right. I know my right has a stronger grip.
I’ve been trying to teach myself to do things like that with my left hand, so I can intuitively have my right open for more important tasks, but it’s kinda hard to remember.
Yeah, that feels about right to me.
Also, my left shoulder is about twice the size of my right one, and if doing literally any shoulder work in the gym didn’t instantly result in injury, I’d probably spend some time/effort on that.
