When you guys are practicing or just playing around do you alternate decks?
I have been trying to learn both hands, I think it is starting to pay off!

I don't do that, but if you want to be well-rounded then it's definitely worth doing, particularly if you have the classic "mixer in the middle of the decks" setup and particularly if you want to get into juggling/battling.

i didn't used to and my strong side is my left hand on the record and right on fader.
What i've found with my weak side is that i can cut better on that side.
Practice both sides you'll find benefits from using both, juggles and tricks etc.

the better you get on your weak side, the more inclined you are to use it rather than working the tunes to get back on your good side which i often do.

practice practice.. I get my cuts sharp on my good hand til I am tired, then try switching up and practicing w the other deck but I can't keep on point nearly as long. Still good practice, and like someone mentioned, there are certain moves that come easier to me on the other deck for some reason..
