Yes, it is a lot easier if you invert the paddle to switch hands (making the two hands do a mirror of each other).  Sending with your non-writing hand gives you the ambidextrous advantage

How difficult would it be to learn to send with my non-dominant hand?  I came very close to giving up CW a few years ago when I had nerve damage in my right arm.  I have gotten marginally better since then but hate hurting peoples' ears with my sending.  A friend of mine was able to learn to bow her cello left handed and went on to Juilliard.  But I don't have anywhere near her skills.  Any thoughts you may have for my dilemma?
