Why do some NFL kickers kick PAT's from hash mark instead of center of field?

Sometimes the PAT ball placement for the try is on one of the hash marks, and sometimes it's in the middle of the field. Why wouldn't all kickers want it spotted in the middle. Using a hash mark makes no sense to me.

Update:

Maybe it's like a golfer planning for a natural fade or slice?

    Because your foot isn't perfectly symmetrical. it can be easier for right footed kickers to place the ball a bit right of center and vice versa for lefties.

    Because that is where they trained to kick the ball.
