interesting views guys and thanks! I probably will experiment a little for the fun of it, although I doubt I'll ever take that into an actual game.
Talking about brooms though, I reckon if I was born in canada I would have been a left shot. I did get asked the batting question when I got my first stick. In the past I've held the vacuum both ways (that might be a bit different) but usually with the r hand on top for the power. I use a rake both ways.
Use a spade with R hand bottom though.
