Holy cow. If this is true, it’s insane.

That's like something out of Niven or Clarke. Amazing.

You hear "we can predict earthquakes by monitoring proton flux.

I hear "we can create earthquakes by increasing proton flux"

I figured this fits here, I guess?
After 38+ years, I just realized today I'm left eye dominant after going to the hotel room door and naturally using my left eye to look through the hole.

I write right handed, play hockey left, switch hit in softball but have more power right, drive and chip right but putt left, throw right but catch equally with both, and shoot guns right with right eye aiming.

I've never tried shooting guns left handed or aiming right handed with my left eye but I've always been super accurate shooting right handed using my right eye. Even hitting match sticks with a BB gun from 10ft away recently.

Anyone else have this weird collection of left/ right? I always assumed my ability to bat from both sides of the plate was because I had practiced extensively as a kid hitting tape balls left handed but maybe it's a left/ right dominant eye thing?

Do you talk liberal out of the left side of your mouth but vote R with your right hand?

What? Your post is going over my head...

I do precision functions (drawing, writing) lefty and power functions (throwing, chopping) righty. I experimented with switch hitting and picked it up almost immediately but I was a high K power hitter righty and a high average singles hitter lefty. I drive righty, putt lefty, and can't short iron worth a f-ck either way. It may all be exacerbated because I am blind in the right eye.

A neurologist told me precision lefty and power righty (me) is about 1% of the population, and precision righty and power lefty (you) is about 0.1% of the population, and that it has nothing to do with your physicality and everything to do with the way your brain is wired. It also correlates with high incidences of addictive behavior, creativity, genius, mental illness, and suicide.

So we have that going for us. Which is nice.

I learned to bat lefthanded and my contact rate was much better, but I gave up a bit of power. My right eye had much stronger vision until I had lasik.

Another way I have heard it described is above (similar to power) and below (similar to precision) the waist. But things like hockey reverse that, so I like power vs precision better.

Dominance and power are typically the same side (as with me) but not always. For example, you block with your off hand so you can counter punch with your dominant hand, but some people are reversed which I can't fathom. It's like they are thinking primarily as catchers rather than throwers.

I have no idea if there are gender differences.

Were you ever as comfortable lefty? I always felt that righty was natural and lefty was an instrumentality. As a righty that bat is part of my arm, as a lefty it's a tool.

You have right-sided blindness? Who would have thought.

I’m cross dominant. I still shoot right for trap because it’s too hard to learn left and I don’t have a left hand gun. I shoot with my left eye closed and almost aim it like a rifle instead of more traditional techniques.

So how's it work when neither eye is dominant? My right eye may be ever so slightly dominant, but if I look at a near object and a far one, I'll almost always see two of whichever one is not in focus at that point in time. (Like if I focus on the far object, I normally see two semi transparent versions of the near object except where that object overlaps the same spot in both eyes' field of vision)

I remember playing a sniper game at the arcade back in the day (Silent Scope, I think?) where that was immensely helpful, as I could use the left eye to find the target on the screen while the right eye was looking through the scope, effectively giving me both near and far fields of vision at once. Am honestly not sure if that's normal or not.

I'm otherwise right handed/footed at everything but hockey, but have learned that's generally normal since most people have their dominant hand at the top of the stick for control.

Interesting question. I would say I was and was not confidant batting left. No in that it wasn't my naturally dominant hand and I didn't try it until I was 13 as opposed to batting right since the first time I picked up a bat. So I had to think a bit more before stepping into the box.

Yes in that you were not going to strike me out from that side of the plate, and if you gave me the right pitch I could bunt my way on base most of the time. And if 2nd was open I was going to end up there next.
