Left handed players

[nitoflament]

I would not enter into a polemic, but it seems that lately there are several players who are opting to change his hand.
You believe that left-handers have an advantage, or is it just that we're used that most are right handed?
What is your opinion about it?

[brgerflipr]

i think the only advantage is that it's different. lefties are used to seeing righties everywhere. but righties are not used to seeing lefties. no other advantage if you ask me.

some say that the lefty slice serve outwide to the BH is difficult, but it's the same as the righty slice outwide to lefties' BH. all the same to me.

[maximo]

i don´t think that lefties have adavantage, recently i have played with players who now play with lefty player, and they are as good as before, only thing can give advantage is the lag lol

[calvkln]

With me I don't really see an advantage with being a lefty, I'm actually left handed in real life so I use left handed players because it feels natural, a slice serve outwide to me feels the same on both sides. I must say though when I use right handed pros its rather awkward because I still try to play like a left handed player....I really don't know how rafa plays left handed yet he is right handed with everything else... Is anyone on the tour actually right handed yet prefers to play left handed?

[maximo]

i'm right handed in real life, i played with right handed at the begining but i created a lefty nakamura and i liked, then i changed all my players and now i only play with lefties, then there weren't many lefties, lonamer, calvkln, marlon... weren't playing

Left handed in the game is 100% an advantage, especially on the slice serve. It can create teice as much angle and twice as much side spin. The developers got it wrong with left serves the same way they did with short slice etc.

that is in your head lol

[corrbuster]

100% agree with coke. Lefties is for noobs

[riley108]

i dont even notice when i'm playing a lefty,ive allways known that maximo is a lefty but i did not notice marlonbrando, lonemar calvkln and brgerflipr were lefties, but on this note i can never beat maximo or the listed players so i would say lefties have only a slight advantage on serve coz these guys above r the only ones that ace me so many times on serve, its weird coz since nito posted this catergory ive been seriously thinking about it and i'm now considering changing to a lefty

I'm a righty.

[maximo]

the guys that more aces make against me are djarvik and alex, and in MS is coke, three are right handed.

[Otlichno]

Maximo is the only one who can get aces on me consistently. But given the way I return, I'll miss three quarters of my returns so I don't really ever see a difference when I play against good servers.

It is certainly not in my head, it is the same story with the short slice. If many commentators go on about how lefty serve's are actually technically better, not just a righty bh advantage, then how is a game developer going to know different. Look at Murray, even if you have a better BH, he consistently hits to it, obviously they saw him play to weak BH players and just presumed he always did that. Same with short slice, see some fed short slices thinl 'Oh!'. Returning inside baseline, players like djokovic/federer/gulbis etc does this to smash home returns, again developers see this and mis-interpret it.
Same goes for lefty serve, i have played people with 50's/low 60's on serve who use lefties, i have taken three steps outwide and still not been able to get a racquet on it. Funny how this is just never the case with righties, you know you play djarvik, brger, josenylund and some other top players with fantastic serves and its twice as easy to return!

is your opinion, i have played a lot of times with tonedawg, who is a fantastic server, now he´s playing with a lefty player, and there aren´t diferences in his services, and honestly, i have played with many lefties and is not more dificult return for me, but this is my opinion.
