don't know if it is true. lefties can have better handling of everything that related to speed and time. and they also have faster reaction.
yes. he said a small part of our right brain is actually in charge of that function. therefore, lefties have better ability to deal with something which needs quick response or fast reaction.
1/2 a second? haha.. shouldn't be that long! otherwise, lefties will definately dominate the sports world!
it is indeed very interesting. If it is true than reaction can be well trained by using one's left hand a lot: e.g. playing piano, using massage chinese balls or sth... Even 1/2 sec is ok. 8) Can you give us a link to read more, red000? BTW, I always knew that working with hands makes you smarter, but reaction...
no link at all mikie. got that info from a tv programme a couple of years ago. hehe........i think a reflex action doesn't count!
my fren use left hand... and i use right hand... i always playing with footwork and net .... sometimes i will do smash.. but i can i know what the big weekness if he is left hand?
im a lefty, imo its b'cuz you guys(if your right handed) are used to play with other right handed players so when you play with lefty's your kinda mixed up, im a lefty but when i play against a fellow lefty i also am kinda confused. when you send your shot to the back hand of a righty its the fore hand of a lefty.
I dont think it gives a very big advantage, just remember now that the other players backhand is opposite from a normal right hand player you face before
i agree! coz i m a lefty myself! but such kinda confusion won't last long for me. i will realize that instantly after one mistake!
guys i play soccer with mi left foot(left footed) but play badminton with mi right hand(right handed)...although it dosent affect mi coordination...do u have the same problem?
i heard that left handies have an advantage when playing with feather birds because of the way the feathers are cut. the direction of the cut of the feathers makes it such that the natural slice direction of a leftie's drops allows a steeper and faster drop on the bird
Yup i heard that 2 One of the commentators for the Yonex All England 2006, kept goin on about it while Lin Dan played As for hitting onto a leftys forehand, don't, leftys have no advantage if u just take a note and play em all over the court, like u shud do with rightys 2
I don't like playing Lefty's, purely because when I hit a high clear to what I think is the backhand corner of the court, it's smashed or cleared back to me. The only advantage I've ever found in doubles is that if you're playing against a lefty and a righty, you can smash it down the middle and they'll either both go for it or both leave it because they are either both on their forehand or backhand. (I think that's right... )
i found one website to test ur reaction time http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/sci/reactiontime.html
yup same here, maybe the first couple of rallies im confused, but after that ill always take it to the leftys back hand side, a little combination, some razzle dazzle then KAPOWW
