RE: The Sporting Advantage When You Are Ambidextrous

That is strange but not completely unheard of.

There are a couple of Aussie cricketers I know of (Shane Watson and Jason Berendorf) that bowl with 1 arm/hand and write with the other. There is a current England cricketer (Jack Leach) who bowls left arm but throws right arm. You'd have thought he should try and develop his skill set to be ambidextrous like the guy @cryptoandcoffee is describing.

In cricket there is a theory that you shouldn't class a batsman as right or left handed. Instead you should refer to them as top or bottom hand dominant. I don’t play golf but I suspect you could make a similar argument.

It is rare that the hurley grip succeeds in the low handicaps . I see one pro with the hurley grip on the PGA and he is some journeyman. I changed my grip and I regret not staying with the hurley grip as I was bloody better. Now I'm shit
