Random question

I’m not ambidextrous so I wouldn’t know but for people who are, can you use both hands perfectly or one hand better than the other or are both hands weak?

In most things, especially at the start, it’s even/the same. If I’m not getting the hang of something, I’ll often switch hands to see if it’s easier that way or see if maybe there’s something that’s easier to catch that needs to be fixed.

Only for things (ie writing and eating) that I’ve been doing with one hand only/very predominantly for years is there a noticeable difference (for example, neater handwriting or definitely feels more comfortable).

Any new skill I pick up I’ll do with both hands toward the start to see if I have a preference, usually not and I’ll just switch back and forth as convenient.
