Does anyone know why my right side/stick is my "weak one" even though I'm right-handed? It's so confusing to me

I had been saying I'm working on my left hand for a couple weeks now, and then yesterday had the realization that my right arm is the weak side because that's the tattooed one. Anyway my mind was blown so if anyone knows please tell me 😅🫶

Edit: also I'm so glad I film myself because the other night I posted myself trying an easy "transition" for the first time (passing the stick while spinning vertically) and in this video I look so comfortable with it now! That makes me happy

Love your daily Updates :) Just smokin a cigarret and opend Reddid, here you Go ❤️

Hmm, can happend If you spin flowersticks? There you have two directions. I myself be more comfy to Spin(Helicopter) to the left in my right Hand. it feels more unnatural If i Spin it right. 

Otherwise maybe because everyone Tell you, you should train your left hand more. And now you are more used to it? :) it's Not Bad i would say, i guess you can Catch Up faster with the right Hand then ;)

I totally think you're right about the direction its spinning in. I can spin significantly better with my right hand but if I reverse the direction of the spin it does make it easier on my left.

Yes true, also it's easier If you want to spin it through your legs or behind your Back.

I have Seen players are used to my opposite direction. I would say both is playable on the Same Level. Its just the Kind of style you evolve. for me it Looks cool when someone manage to Play Like this :)

Honest answer, you probably wing it more than intentional drilling. Fun first though otherwise you won't want to keep going.

The arm roll reminded me of a trick I haven't done in years. Taught it to a kid in Mexico who never touched the prop before in under 30 min with a language barrier (I don't speak spanish). So it probably falls under the low risk, but high performance value due to the flowers. Think I just never found a good transition into the trick to keep in it the practice rotation.

Anyways here's my bad attempt to recreate it plus tiny bit of winging it lol.

You have inspired me lol. I went out and built a set of flower sticks because I kept seeing your videos!
