something i don't get bear in mind i have never pegged solo.he states make a habit of always having net in right hand & peg with let hand. what happens when its a right to left drop surely you have to do it other way.

If you are walking left to right hold the net/hank/pin in your right hand and peg with your left and vice verca.
