It means that RH players play with LH players more than many thought. The ratio is 1:2 not 1:9.
Hmmm... Interesting that you think you're important enough to have a stalker.Here's a novel idea. Rate yourself to others and estimate where your skill level is. And you've got a 50/50 chance on guessing if you are RH or LH.
I've never had a personal stalker before. I've began posting here about 2+ weeks ago, have made 3 posts, and one party has attempted to misdirect and hijack 2 of my 3 posts. However, on this thread please post and criticize away. It will continue to keep the thread active, get more people to vote, and push it to the top. Keep posting and good luck on the 50/50 attempt.
The intent of the poll, as stated in the post, was to question if there is an advantage to being a left handed player. The rating question added the variable of skill level to L/R predominance.I am not sure I see the reason for adding the rating. If the idea was to get people to put whether they were left handed or right handed, it is true that the extra category of adding a rating number makes it so less people will fill out the poll.
And guessing your rating when you don't have a reference point will only produce results that are totally suspect.
Thanks for taking time to reply. Unfortunately one has vote for themselves and cannot vote for others.Hmmm... Interesting that you think you're important enough to have a stalker.
I'm not attempting to hijack the thread. Just pointing out that US table tennis ratings only apply to US table tennis players. If you actually are interested in opening the thread to anyone other than the Yanks, then you might need to change something.
BTW, I'm a 95 year old, female, pen-hold, defender. I'm ambidextrous and rate myself at 2653. Could you cast my vote for me, please?
It seems having players judge or compare themselves numerically to others touches a nerve or is confusing and/or uncomfortable.
A much simplier LR poll question have been beginner, intermediate, advanced, or something like advanced+.
You forgot the ADVANCED BEGINNER category, commonly used here by new members asking advice for cabon OFF²+++++ blades.
The four categories in the poll each apply to L and R players. Rather than limit the poll to a LR question, the idea was to add the players skill level to their selection. Playing locally and watching videos from the US and worldwide, there seems to be a higher percentage of LH players. If the population is approximately 10% left handed, and if 25%-35% left handed players play in sanctioned tournaments (pure conjecture on the estimation), then LH players have an inherent advantage. Then mix in the remainder of non tournament players, who play at clubs and rec centers, do LH players have an advantage on the percentage and skill level of players. The thought just occurred in returning to play after a long absence and noticing more TT players play LH as more LH players play baseball.You forgot the ADVANCED BEGINNER category, commonly used here by new members asking advice for cabon OFF²+++++ blades.
1st - defender vs attacker 2100 vs 2100
2nd - young guy - 1900
Didn't look at the last video sorry
Crazy, isn't it? Yet in this last season I've come up against and lost to a left-handed player and I have to consciously remind myself that he's a leftie! I keep forgetting and put balls right in the slot for his forehand.I'm left-handed. I find opponents often don't realise unless I point it out to them. No, me neither.
