I would have to disagree. Maedhros was right-handed, until he got his hand chopped off and had to learn how to fight left-handed.

Also remember that Elves and Men have the same hroar, which would mean they would have similar handedness. This means the same reasons for left-handedness would apply. Today, many people are left-handed because of some minor brain that occurred to them as a fetus. Of course not all left-handedness is caused by this. But I am sure Elves were a little more protective and careful than humans and so Elves would probably have less left-handed people than Men.
