Stoned again

Your question about throwing stones (above) leads me on to another. I am left-handed...

I am left-handed, but like many of us in this back-to-front world I can do most things fairly well right-handed. Yet when it comes to throwing overarm or skimming stones, I can only do it right-handed and not with my dominant hand at all. Does anyone know why this might be?
