The Clap

monster · 02-15-2011, 10:19 PM

When you applaud, do you clap the left hand onto the right, the right onto the left, or are they symmetrical meeting in the middle?

Cloud · 02-15-2011, 10:20 PM

I think . . . right on left (am right handed); or sometimes upright in the middle.

Should I stay or should I go now?

And over the years I've worked out how to get the most sound without hitting too hard.
My clap is turned up to 11.

What inspired you to ask this question?

Orchestra night, where one needs to applaud as loud as possible for one's offspring, I noticed most people clapping right onto left, needless to say I'm contrary...and I'm fascinated by handedness. So I wondered. I left handedness out of the poll because I know you're all bored with my obsession.

God I'm such a dick today -late night and now I'm totally out of sorts -I just voted for the wrong one!

Technically I voted for the wrong one too. Clapping in class today I realised I do in fact move both hands, but my right hand more. Right hand is on top moving down, left hand comes up to meet it. The volume is all in the cupping. Fingers of right hand over the left hand thumb.

People who are clapping quietly sometimes turn round to look at me.
Loud and proud clapper.
