Being left-handed, I slant, sir, all over the place (9)
I believe the answer is:
sinistral
'being left-handed' is the definition.
('sinistral' is associated in meaning with 'left-handed')
'i slant sir all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'slant'+'sir'='islantsir'
'islantsir' with letters rearranged gives 'SINISTRAL'.
(Another definition for sinistral that I've seen is " Turning to the left".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
