Right-handed.
At least he's able to pick up a pair of scissors and have at least a fighting chance of cutting a straight line in a piece of paper.

Bah - *that* is hardly a problem, nowadays.
Hey, man -- if you haven't yet, treat yersel' to a working pair of scissors:

Scissors are easy enough...
Golf clubs are harder, because they're expensive.
I'm left handed, but I mouse, throw, and golf right.

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.

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.

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.

They don't come with holes in them
When you spend that much for a ball, you get it custom drilled.

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:

(So who was being more pedantic in this case? You or me? :-)
Cheers,
Scott.

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.

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.
