That's the one I use when gate is facing the opposite way to the hand I'm using (rope in right hand, gate facing left). It's a bit different when using the left hand for a left facing gate.
What I did was set up a hanging quickdraw at home and practice clipping with either hand for both gate directions until I had it nice and slick.
(But that might be a bit geeky for some!)
Interestingly younger competition-bred climbers do something different to what I do and they seem to be pretty efficient so watching videos of them climbing might give you some tips. Look on Robbie Phillips' webpage and vimeo account as he videos a lot of strong young climbers.
