Golf lefty or righty?

Question

I originally started golfing as a lefty when I was 10. I just dabbled around. Now several years later I am getting back into it. I have tried hitting both ways. It feels more comfortable left but I slice it so it ends up at a 45 degree angle from where I had hit it. When I hit it right I hit it straighter but not necessarily as far. Im in a big hole. I also bought a starter set that is left handed.

Answer 1

Golf is strategized by placing the ball in the spot you want it to be. If you're more accurate from the right, stay with the right.

Answer 2

This is simple. Hit the way that feels most natural. Every one slices. Just beacuse you slice lefty does not mean you need to hit right.

I'm a righty and I still slice, but I'm not going to swich to lefty because of that. I'm just going to work on my swing.

Good luck, golf rocks!

Answer 3

You should hit the way you feel most comfortable and has the ability to fine adjust your swing.  Lefty or Righty doesn't matter when it comes to distance or slice.  You can easily fix your slice or increase the distance with some lessons from a pro.

If you are serious about Golf, you will playing it til you're so old that you can't walk, so pick the side you feel you can live with for a long time, then correct what ever problem you have with the swing.

Answer 4

you sound like me. i hit left in baseball, hockey, golf. but right in every other sport. anyways i would go with which ever way feels more comfortable to you. if you wanna hit left handed just aim more to your left to compensate for your slice. if you wanna hit right handed just practice a little more so you can hit your shots further.

Answer 5

If you can hit it straight right handed I would stick with that because thats more important than distance. Around the greens is where you need the good feel so whatever feels better on short shots is probably the best club. Either way it takes practice. I play tee to green left handed and putt righty and everything seems to work out fine for me.

Answer 6

Think about how much cheaper you can get left handed clubs.....what I wouldnt give to be a lefty.
