I write with my left but do just about everything else with my right. My right side is also stronger. I don't get your issue? Just because you do one or two things with your left hand doesn't mean everything should follow suit.

I will bet you that you are doing one of these two things when you throw your right hand.
First, you are waving it, not shooting it. You can tell if you are doing this if you lift your elbow before you throw the right hand, and by which knuckles make contact when you land the punch. If you are making contact on the knuckles of the small and ring fingers, then you are swinging your right hand and it is an arm punch. Almost always. Second, you are fouling up your footwork. Either you step with the jab and then throw the right, but don't bring up your right foot when you step, or, when you throw your left hook, you are throwing it off your front foot, not getting the weight back onto your right leg. When that happens, your hook will feel strong, but your right hand will be lacking because your weight isn't moving with the punch. |

I am left footed but right handed. Anything that requires a little bit of strength I do with my left hand. I look through the spyhole on my front door with my left eye. When I play a little football I use my left foot to do all the control and dribbling but I write and throw a ball with my right hand. What stance am I Scrap? Thanks. |

I do almost everything with my right. My left is stronger than my right however. No doubt about that one.
I fight southpaw, it always felt more comfortable. |

Interesting. And yet I went to a medical recently for my job. The OT gave me some balance tests to try. She asked me to stand with both feet together and place one foot in front of the other. I placed my left foot forward. She was suprised because she had picked up I was right handed but it is my dominant leg. As I said it does all the control when I play footy. My right foot is clumsy. When I stand orthodox I feel much more nimble and quick footed compared to southpaw. I appreciate the eye dominance is important but in the end do you just go with feel?
