Lefties With a 6MT

Lefty here... Driving stick with my right hand obviously isn't an issue. Sounds like your friend is making excuses lol. Does he use his computer mouse with his left hand? Or how about when someone shakes hands with him? It's all about developing muscle memory. Shooting a basketball or throwing a baseball with the non dominant hand is clearly a problem because of the motion involved. With practice you can become ambidextrous with almost any action.

Very true. I'm a righty, and my brother and I have played raquetball once or twice a week for many years now. Couple years ago, my right wrist was bothering me to the point I just couldn't really play using it anymore. Not wanting to stop playing, I decided to try it left-handed. Wasn't very good at first, but after a couple weeks, I got pretty good. After a bit of time, I was almost as good playing lefty as righty. Played lefty for quite a while actually before eventually switching back. Nowadays, I can actually switch back and forth if I want. (heck, I do it every now an then just to throw my brother off during a game.
