So like most players, when i first started playing i learned how to do a ton of moves without a strong base, and most of those moves were just one sided. Now that I have pretty strong fundamentals, and a better understanding of form and balance, I'm finding my flip clippers, butterflys, pixies, osis', paradox, just about everything is much cleaner and consistent than my what was my strong side...
I'm just having a bit of trouble unlearning. Anyone else run into this as their game was developing?
My strong side is now my flip...

Why do you want to unlearn anything? If your strong side is now your flip side, thats great! It either means you were using your true "flipside" initially, or your flipside now has much more control.
That kind of stuff happens to me pretty often. Its pretty random which side i'm better with on a certain move. Mostly depends what I practice more.

I don't know about unlearning, but usually when I drill a certain trick, I'll drill what I can do from that specific point, I'll advance one contact at a time, and make it so that one side pretty much can't advance without the other side.
Example: I decide to start learning mirages (they seem easiest to follow for this example). I can get 3 mirages right side, then 2 left side. I just group the mirages together into a singular identity, instead of saying "right mirage" and "left mirage" and call the 2 my 'max.' Then I drill each side so that at the same time, they advance one contact at a time for that drill. So the other one is forced to learn, and so the other one isn't getting too much practice in and becoming dominant while the learning curve for the other side is getting steeper and steeper.
I hope that's easy to follow. It makes sense to me, and that's how I personally do it. I don't know if that's how anyone else does it, but I've been doing it for awhile now, and I'm pretty bothsided.

Yeah, to work my both sidedness I like to use the "triforce" drill. I've gotten through stage 9 with both clippers and mirages multiple times.
The differences I notice between the two sides are more detail oriented.
Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "unlearn," everyone seems to have a problem with it...
Think of it more like trying to teach an old dog an old trick a little bit differently. I have no doubt it will get there, but teaching a young dog how to do it right the first time is a lot easier...
