How to Control Which Side to Turn to in Flip Turn?

I have been practicing flip turn for some while. All my turns are to my right side. I intentionally try to turn to the left but mostly fail. However I have seen many other swimmers turn to their left most of the time. I was wondering what are the critical points that control which side to turn to? I guess mastering this will help me to get a better feeling and balance under the water. Do you also think so? Thanks!

    Have you tried control the turn by angling the head slightly (very slightly) to the left or right? I find I can dictate which way I turn through that technique. It is useful to turn both ways depending on clock or anti-clock laps. Left hand turning on a clockwise lap is really disorientating for me.
