Post #197,299 by gdaustin 3/5/05 9:14:08 AM Reply	Scissors are easy enough... Golf clubs are harder, because they're expensive. I'm left handed, but I mouse, throw, and golf right.
Post #197,301 by Another Scott 3/5/05 9:21:09 AM Reply	My mother's left handed, but bowls right handed. She injured her elbow years ago and finds bowling more comfortable with her right arm. But I guess bowling balls don't have mirror image problems the way many other things do, so never mind... ;-) Cheers, Scott. (Who wonders if there are left-handed pool cues out there...)
Post #197,324 by drewk 3/5/05 6:53:08 PM Reply	Uhh ... bowling balls aren't right/left handed? I don't know what alleys you've been to, but all the bowling balls I ever saw were one or the other. Except one guy with huge hands who only had a thubhole. Looked like he was pitching softball. Bowled straight up the middle, too, because he threw so hard the ball was usually still spinning backwards when it hit. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #197,329 by pwhysall 3/5/05 7:16:28 PM Reply	I don't think they are. I'm looking on [link\|http://www.bowling.com\|http://www.bowling.com] and I can't see a left/right variation for any ball. You'd certainly expect something like [link\|http://www.bowling.com/display.asp?SKU=1059-50\|this] to be available in both types.

Post #197,332 by drewk 3/5/05 7:33:25 PM Reply	They don't come with holes in them When you spend that much for a ball, you get it custom drilled. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]

Post #197,330 by Another Scott 3/5/05 7:25:45 PM Reply	The holes are handed, the balls aren't. At least AFAIK. ;-) [link\|http://www.left-handed.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=68\|What makes a bowling ball left or right-handed?]. Yeah, it bites if you're left-handed and don't have your own ball. But if you have your own ball, the driller started with the same ball whether you're left or right handed. Unlike golf clubs, etc., which have an intrinsic asymmetry depending on which directionality you are. Unless, of course, you're playing something like [link\|http://www.bowlcandlepin.com/Rules.htm\|candlepin] which has hole-less balls. In that case, the ball truly is ambidextrous: [image\|http://www.bowlcandlepin.com/BALLSPEC.jpg\|0\|candlepin bowling ball\|240\|240] (So who was being more pedantic in this case? You or me? :-) Cheers, Scott.
Post #197,333 by drewk 3/5/05 7:36:47 PM Reply	For once, I wasn't being pedantic I meant that the balls you find to use a bowling alleys are almost always right-handed. People who have their own will obviously have them made for whichever hand they prefer. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #197,506 by Nightowl 3/7/05 1:22:16 PM Reply	Left-handed pool cues There are places where you can have a custom made pool cue, although I'm not really sure why left or right would matter in that sort of case, because it's completely round and usually symmetrical, I would think, so that you can use it in either hand the same way. I know when I play pool with John in our basement, I sometimes switch hands to shoot, and feel no difference other than in left or right handed control of the cue.
