Nope, IMHO I don't think using the hand closer to the table to chop is that big a deal. The timer has a wide view of the floor and should be able to see me, no matter which hand I use, or the ball being touched by a player. Believe what you will but almost all timers start the clock when they see the player touch the ball, not when we chop. Also, I'm never going to be straight lined behind the thrower.

Besides that, I rarely ever chop the clock anymore. Usually, I'm pushing a button.
