Turning ambidextrous?

[C low]

Hi. I want to learn to drive as a Lefty. Not only am I a Righty; im heavily right-sided, and I want to drive as a lefty to improve my balance. Im in my late 20s with a mature body, and dont want serious injury. With proper nutrition and care: How soon could a major-righty expect to T-off, as a lefty, with some power? Regards,

Uhhhhhhhhh, why?

I've been carrying a left-handed niblick, off and on, for a couple of years.  I use it at the range and while warming up.  Every once, in a great while, it comes in (left) handy out on the course.  Mostly, it's a training aid.  I figure that learning to make a decent pass, from the other side, must have some benefit.  And it doesn't take long to get a lot better...especially with a shorter club.

Ive thought about this myself. I am left handed in everything i do except golf. I throw, kick, write with my left side. 

The first clubs i ever used were right handed. Im not bad right handed and it feels normal now but sometimes i wonder if itd be worth it to try out a driver left handed.

I would practice in front of a mirror and work on replicating your right handed swing. I'm a bit older than you, but I have hit my wife's lefty driver. I do notice that I am less flexible that way as well. I am somewhat ambidextrous though, so it wasn't that hard for me.

Maybe try doing some things lefty? Go to a batting cage and take lefty swings. Get a cheapo used lefty putter. Weight train your left side more than your right.

I doubt any of those will have actual effects, but it'll be fun to hear about your progress.

Please post your efforts here.  

If nothing else, have fun!

It definitely helps to get the word out there for a sense of perspective. I cant truly explain why lefty-driving is satisfying. After re-reading I made plans for coaching from a senior player, though I may have to settle for what I get. I wouldnt recommend go full righty any other way; you guys probably have the right idea,

 

The tradeoff is in nutrition vs power, or alkali's relaxing your colon versus muscle mass from conventional protein.
