That's not true, the winds on the right side of the hurricane will in general be stronger because of the forward motion of the storm adding to the counterclockwise rotational component of the wind on that side, and subtracting from it on the left side. A hurricane is not like a bowling ball: the rotation in the former is around a vertical axis, while in the latter is around a horizontal axis.

Hope this is clear.
