I'm curious about whether there's much support for the following comment, from Lightning Paddle's Web site: Budding competitive paddlers might want to think about left control if they are right handed (and vice versa) as there is informal (unsubstantiated?) anatomical / physiological and kinesthetic evidence that paddling with the "wrong" hand as control hand is most efficient. As a left-hander, I've been advised to switch to right control anyway because (a) it better positions me to use loaners and (b) makes my paddle more useful as a loaner or for resale. Efficiency gain would be a lot more persuasive, though. ...I can paddle right control in a pinch. Just haven't done it with enthusiasm, to date.
