Clicker Question

Say, folks -

What hand to you hold your clicker in? The right? The left?

Thanks,

Shmuel

I don't use a "clicker", I use an indicator (mandated by the HS association) and it is held in the left hand.

Also known on this forum as an "indiclickercounter."

This little sucker is capable of tracking balls, strikes and outs. It also has the unique distinction of creating many threads on whether to use or not use one.

Some will say it's use is mandated by their HS association, willed by their great great grandfather, included in their constitutonal "Right To Bear Arms", and even used because their wifes said they had to.

But, if one must, put it in your left hand, learn how to change the little wheel without having to look at it every other second or pitch, and then ditch the sucker and use that beautiful part of your body called your brain. My two cents, my preference.

I carry mine with me, but stopped using it when there is a scoreboard with operator. When I do use it, left hand!

It was liberating to stop using it! It forced me to pay attention to the count after every pitch!

And what if the scoreboard operator is sleeping most of the time?

I use an indicator but only as reference. I keep the count in my head, too.

Behind the plate, I use my left hand for my indiclickatator.

When on the grass, I leave it in my equiment bag.
