AMBIS

or ambees. I have known one, and heard of a few guys who could throw the baseball with either hand. The guy I knew was 10 and he wasn't too hot right handed, but it impressed me and his coach.

I once putted nine holes left handed, but I went back to righty the next round. Of course, I also tried the claw grip. I improvised once in a little tournament and tried the one handed claw. Until I missed a two footer. Somehow you look a whole lot dumber when you miss one like that using the one handed claw grip. Now I go back and forth on the regular or crosshand, but I think I'm digressing just a bit about ambidexterity.

I do shave the left side of my face with my left hand and the right with my right. Except for some left handed wiffle ball hitting, I'm a solid righty in everything else. But it's all about practice. I'm sure people could be more ambi if they tried.

Now, I've never heard of anyone writing right or left. Except for necessity because of a break. And I've never heard of any artists who were like that. Renoir strapped a paint brush to his feet after rheumatism crippled him and I've heard of others who could write or draw that way, but I've never heard of an ambidextrous artist.

I wonder why?
