Which hand do you scratch with?

Im right handed and I scratch the record with my right and the left on the fader.

Im right handed.

I try to scratch with my left, only because there is no way my left can utilize the fader.

whichever side the record I'm scratching is on ...

the left so my hand doesnt get in the way with the tonearm

I scratch with my middle hand.

i scratch better with my right, but have learnt to be able to use both

ambidextry (or however it is spelled) is the way forward for this. if you ever get tips from the top scratch dudes/dudets they will say to be able to do both.

yup, being able to use both is the key. what amazes me is the people who can switch hands mid-scratch (a la Zabiela in mondaybar video)
