Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the【C7】______side may result in throwing【C8】______many opponents who are more accustomed to dealing with the【C9】______of players who are right-handed. This is why, in many【C10】______at a professional level, a【C11】______proportion of players are left-handed than in the population as a whole.
