I am right handed.

The majority of right-handed golfers prefer putts that break from right to left. That's something of a mystery, as physics doesn't play favorites with an object rolling along the ground. But my theory is that right-to-left breakers are easier because of the way the face of the putter behaves during the stroke.
The face of the putter swings open and then closed during the stroke, much like a swinging door. The tendency is not to swing the face of the putter back to square at impact. When you leave the face of the putter open, the right-to-left putt can still drop because the ball is falling toward the hole. Not so on the left-to-right breaker--once the ball falls below the hole, it can't roll uphill to find the hole.

It depends, if you're right handed then the left to right is the most difficult, left handed is the opposite.

I find it to be just the opposite. Of course, I'm left-handed!
