Satsuki Fujisawa is left-handed (watch her sign the card after the match) but throws rocks right-handed. How uncommon is this in curling?

Seems to be a Japanese thing in sports in general. Tennis player Kimiko Date was left-handed but hit right-handed, figure skater Satoko Miyahara is left-handed but jumps off of her left foot...

Gushue also writes with left hand and delivers curling stone with right hand.

I do everything right handed (writing, golfing, tennis, etc.) except throwing (Curling rocks, balls, frisbys, whatever). I also worked for 30 years with someone who was exactly the opposite.

Thinking about it, In the few times I ever tried shooting I fire pistol right handed and rifle left. Don't know what that says about my ability to aim.

Cricket....
In a recent England team there were five bowlers who bowled (threw) right handed, four of them batted left.

Apparently mixed-handedness is in anywhere from 6% up to 35% of the population by some definitions.

Strangely I use a different eye for each. Never thought about it before. Probably why I can't hit anything with a pistol.

One advantage of this is that you can write nicely on your throwing hand.

There's footage of JD Lind writing on people's hands, so who knows who wrote these notes.
