ok i'm goin to make a long story as short as possible. I am 24 and have been playing since i was little(dont remember the actual year) I play RH but i do everything in life LH. Never really did any thinking about til last week when i was playing with a LH putter for fun in golf galaxy and it looked and felt real comfortable and rolled the ball real well. So anyway i bought the putter and absolutely love it, ok now i will putt lefty, makes sense. just for shits and giggles i wanted to video tape me swinging lefty. now i have never hit a ball lefty. I am also no where near a teaching professional but i know more than average i would say. i would say lefty swing is fundementally stronger than my swing now! what do you guys think?

i think i need to get through this season, try and play some good golf and next winter really investigate this. i think if i try and change now i will be working my way through the prime of the season instead of playing and enjoying it.

its tough to tell without seeing you hit a ball. practice swings are just that...practice. they don't translate well to actually striking the ball. pick up a cheap set of lefty clubs and play a practice round. that's the only way to find out.

If I had the choice, I'd go back and learn to play left handed. I think the golf swing is in reverse to begin with. The left hand for a right handed player is the hand that leads, how much sense does that make?

I say, swing and putt what feels best, and if those are opposite, then so be it. There's no rule that says you can't swing right handed and putt left.
