I am not ambidextrous for those sports or for wiriting - I am completely hopeless trying to bat right-handed or field right-handed, and completely hopeless trying to bowl or play tennis left-handed.

The only coorolation I was ever able to come up with is I learned my "left-handed skills" before about age 12 and my "right-handed skills" after.

I umpire right-handed.
WHen I was in my first year of LL I was of course playing left handed, because I was lefthanded.. I sucked so badly. My dad had me try to throw and catch right handed and I suddenly could play. It was like a miracle immediate difference.

I can throw decently and catch decently now lefty.. I do it only as novelty when goofing around - When I play, I play righty. I bat better righty but can switch.

I shoot pool and firearms lefty, but I'm left eye dominate. I can shoot pistol either way.

I cannot write right handed.

I dont believe I could do strike/out lefty but I've never tried.
