I always use my left fist for fouls. However, for violations, I use either.

I've been trying for a couple of years to develop this habit, but it's real slow in developing. The reason is that with a violation (especially oob), it's about 50/50 which direction the ball will be going. If you signal with the "wrong" hand, you end up looking dorky when you signal staying at the same end. But someone pointed out to me that if you signal with the hand closest to the table, it's very smooth to just use the same hand that goes up. But old habits die hard. I'm always so busy thinking about other aspects of the game, that "which hand" takes a low priority.

It looks even better to not go across your body and use the opposite hand. It may take some getting use to and some thinking but once you start doing it you'll get good at it.
