Is there anything scientific to point out that left footers have more penetration and accuracy than right footers?
A lot of the elite kicks are left footers

I often wondered about this myself and I have asked the question myself so many times.A lot of the elite kicks are left footers
I often wondered about this myself and I have asked the question myself so many times.
The answers I got were, for the large part, not inspiring.
One answer I got was.
You know when you hear something that makes you think, the light globe in your head turns on, this immediate reaction you get, tells you that there is something to this. This is the closest answer that makes sense to me anyway.
The answer I got was,
Left footers have more time.
I asked why do left footers have more time?
Because most defenders are right handed. ie they favour their right arm/hand to tackle you first. So when they come at you they will naturally attack your right side first, on average. That gives left footers an extra few seconds to dispose the ball.
Not always. But maybe statistically more. Think about it.favouring a right arm to tackle with doesn't mean that tackle is more likely directed at the right side of the player they are tackling, just because they are right dominant
