How often do you guys shoot with your off hand during a game? I tend to shoot alot lefty even though I am right handed. I have great accuracy in my right hand but shear firepower with my left hand.

I'm good at passing and catching with my left. I hardly ever shoot with my left, though.

i dont really know how fast i can shoot lefty because I don't have a radar gun. But I would guess lefthanded i can shoot around 75-80..ish. I can shoot just as fast right handed but I tend to use my left hand more because If my team ever is down by a couple goals with couple minutes to go they think I can only shoot lefty so then I rip one top right corner righty

i am awful with my left. i'm workin at it, but i don't have a chimney anymore. so, my left, not great already, is worse than before. warriorlax thinks he's so great.

i do alot of quick switching during a game. catch righty and fire a pass lefty all in one motion. i've scored left before but my right is much better. handel wise i can go either way.

for me it depends on the situation but i tend to try to do it equal but im not quite as accurate shooting with my left hand but if its in close i can still pick some spots and hit them

yea when im up close i use my right shot but if i were 10 or more yards out id just go lefty

how do i think that? i'm just saying i'm ambidextrous. i can write with both hands. it's an interesting story on how that happened, too. when i was six or seven, i was running down some stairs, but i slipped. on the final fall, i put down my right hand, but my body kinda rolled over it, so it twisted. i had a cast for like a month or two, so i had to learn to write with my left hand. then, when it came off, i stuck with my left for awhile, then i got back into using my right. so now i kinda just use both.

Its good to know how to use both hands. Try and see if u can get that "shear firepower" in ur left hand and ull be able to light em up no mater where u are on the field

i can catch fine with the left. throwing isnt great. But with a short stick im great lefthanded either way.

im about 80% with my left hand compaired to my right. my shots just arent as fast with my left, and underhanded stuff still feels a bit weird, but when u dont think about it, its so much easier. instead of thinking about doing it, just do it. thats how i see it now. at first i did that mirror effect to teach myself, but after that i just made myself think i could already do it.

I heard Clear Lake is still pretty good this year, but I dunno if they're better or worse than last year. We were supposed to play them in the aggyland tournament but some team pussied out and Clear Lake got matched up with someone else.

i can play well with my left. can shoot just about as fast, at times faster than with my right. I can catch and throw pretty well left too, I just have to work on the quick passes lefty.

man, people take everything i say way too seriously. my vocabulary is huge, i know what ambidextrous means. ambi being more or both or something, dextrous being agile our able or whatever. i'm no greek. but yeah, kids, settle down. i don't say very many serious things.

Yeah we play, you'll probably kill us again this year. One of our best attackmen broke his ankle so he's out for 6 weeks, so we're in some deep **** again. I wish we could drop back down to division 2, Bellaire just can't compete with the private schools, nobody wants to play lacrosse here, we don't even have a JV team.
