What's this?

Same here, except I am extremely left eye dominant

As in, I don't actually use my right eye for anything but peripheral vision on my far-right side. I might as well be a cyclops for all the good my right eye does me.

Cross dominant people are supposed to be good at things like hitting a baseball or a tennis ball. But I have absolutely atrocious depth perception by virtue of only using one of my eyes.

Never really cared for baseball, but took me forever to figure out why my ceiling was so low at racquet sports. Turns out hitting a fast-moving, small object when you have no depth perception is awfully hard.
