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.

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

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.

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.

Strange... shooting usually determined by dominant eye not hands
