Whether you're lefty or righty does not really affect which feels more comfortable to you.

The alternative listed by the previous poster is 1048 and is very popular especially amongst a lot of top rankers.

That said, that doesn't mean you HAVE to do 1048 to git gud. You can get really far doing some pretty stupid fucking hand positions. You can also do most anything using most hand positions as well.

The main thing to note is:
1.) Your thumbs are incredibly useful, if your hand position does not use your thumb in any way, reconsider.

2.) If you use your ring finger, consider using your pinky ESPECIALLY if you also use your middle finger. Your ring finger shares a tendon with your middle finger which makes doing patterns that involve those two more difficult.

3.) For most players, the right hand is completely static (they occupy one button and that is it) with maybe the exception of the thumb that regularly hits 3.

Some examples of common playstyle (mostly concerning the hand that scratches):

TAKA.S
thumb - 1, 3
index - 2

for 1+3 rolls it's common to bring your right thumb over to hit 3 but you could also be M!tsuba and just slide your thumb between them and still hit P.Greats. M!tsuba is a fiend.

M!tsuba's channel also literally means thumb.

1048
thumb - 1
middle - 2
index - 3

again almost everyone plays it and personally I think it looks incredibly unintuitive but if it works, it works. It has to be good because people hit bms kaiden and can do some overjoy charts with it.

Symmetrical
pinky/ring - 1
middle - 2
thumb - 3

I can't think of any top ranker that plays like this off the top of my head so have a random ass person I found by searching 対称固定

Dolce style
middle - 1
index - 2
thumb - 3

I never understood the name. Dolce doesn't actually play like this, if he used to I cannot find any footage of him playing like this. Speaking of Dolce

Freeform
Just do whatever you want nigga

A few toprankers get away with just hitting whatever they think is good for the situation or have completely specific hand position for specific songs. What dolce does and if you look closely you can see some pretty hilarious hand positions. In theory free form is the best for timing and really anything but even dolce uses a static hand position for incredibly dense shit.
