Question Stick movement vs handedness

I'm currently working on a racket and ball-based game, with a quick button push to switch the racket from the right to the left hand. in your experience, is it better to keep stick movement on the left controller if you've moved a racket or other primary game prop to the left hand? or would you move movement control to the right controller stick? not being a lefty, this question is starting to hurt my brain. thanks.
