Answer 2

Please dont do what your thinking.

Rafael Nadal did it when he was young, and he had constant coaching.  There were different motives behind his switch that are not needed at your level.  

You are born one way, you shouldnt change it for a reason like that.  Its going to mess up your game completely.  

Just please dont do that.

Hi there....are you naturally ambidextrous? If you are, then switching to the left can be done with a little bit of practise. However, if you are not, and if you have being using your right hand primarily, then switching to the left will be a very wrong decision.

I would strongly recommend that you continue to use the hand that you're most comfortable now, and improve on areas that need improvement, instead of switching to a new hand and learning from scratch.

Answer 4

Well you just have to practice and keep it professional not unprofessional if you do not have a coach than get one.

Answer 5

It depends if you're ambidex.... I can't spell it. If you are, it should be fine. If your naturally a righty, I wouldn't try it. Almost impossible, and only the most gifted can do it! =)

Answer 6

You need to start when you are young.

Answer 7

It's going to be hard to do, even if you are not right handed. For example, I am left handed and play tennis right handed- this is when I first started. Rafa made the switch at a very young age when he first started playing tennis so it seemed more natural. you can't just make yourself be left handed in tennis at this point b/c you have such dominance in your right hand. I hope I'm making sense. If you want to try it, go for it, but it'll be more trouble than it's worth and you should just improve with your right hand.
