Which hand do you use for sports?

I'm left handed and just realized I draw a compound bow with my left hand. Which would be normal. Then I thought of the other sports and which hand I use.
Baseball : Bat Right Throw Left. I could catch either hand but couldn't throw Right
Basketball : Shoot Left
Golf : Right Hand Stance
Tennis : Swing with my Right
Skateboard/Snowboard: Goofy Footed (Right foot in front, left in back)
Darts: Left
Billiards: Stick held in Left
Football : Throw Left.
Hockey : Right hand Low Left hand high.
Volleyball : Serve with Left
Bowling : Left
Fishing: Cast with my Right. Although I could use either depending on the situation.
Pistol : Left hand primary although I could use Right
Rifle : Left hand trigger. I couldn't shoot right handed.
Ping Pong : Right
Can't think of any other sports.
Guitar is left handed.
Baseball : Bat Right Throw Left. I could catch either hand but couldn't throw Right
Basketball : Shoot Left
Golf : Right Hand Stance
Tennis : Swing with my Right

Predominantly left-handed except for basketball. I shoot right-handed but can handle with both.

Baseball : Lefty throwing and batting. I actually played a game as a lefty catcher
Basketball : Shoot Left
Golf : Lefty. I switched from righty when I thought it was weird that I played hockey lefty and golf righty.
Tennis : Swing with my Right. Typically a double hand backhand (feels like a baseball swing to me)
Skateboard/Snowboard: regular for both
Darts: Left
Billiards: Stick held in right
Football : Throw Left.
Hockey : lefty
Volleyball : Serve with Left
Bowling : Left
Fishing: either
Pistol : righty but could use either
Rifle : righty
Ping Pong : Right
Guitar is righty. This was a challenge to figure out when I first started playing. Went with righty because lefty guitarists are really rare.
Eat: Fork/spoon in right hand, cut with left
Basketball : Shoot Left
Golf : Lefty. I switched from righty when I thought it was weird that I played hockey lefty and golf righty.

Y’all are all some ambidextrous people in here.
Throwing with a different hand than you play tennis with seems crazy to me.

I'm left handed and do every thing in every day life with my left hand.
I shoot a gun left handed, but do everything else sport-related with my right hand.

Phil Mickelson isn’t left handed. He just plays golf that way.

Right for everything, except pool. I shoot pool left handed.

No. It just occurred to me almost everyone else shoots right handed. I was watching some hunting videos on YouTube. Never really thought about it before.
The only things, where I actually thought about being lefty, was throwing a ball and guitar. Obviously writing.

Left for the joystick, right for the buttons
