from a clapping standpoint, i'm a typical left hand stays fairly still while right hand pounds into it. i shouldn't have to tell you fellow ringers that after a highly contested cats game this can start to take it's toll. what do i do you ask? simple. i switch the right from my left hand to my right hand halfway through the event. feel free to use this one yourselves in the future. no charge. just great, free lifehacks from your buddy rowdyboyy.
