    You're likely right, that it's your ability to contract the muscle, which over time has lead to the imbalance in strength/size. Though more so that it is genetics.
    If you regularly train for a certain sport or run, its common to have a dominant leg which is your preference to lead while the other pushes off the ground, i guess this could contribute.
    On calf exercises which use both legs simultaneously, focus on contracting the smaller leg to prevent the stronger one from taking the brute of the weight distribution (Also your leg's different lengths could influence the distribution of force, so become aware of your proportions).
    Isolate your weaker calf, after working out as per usual. Or throw in a couple of exercises mid-week, depending on your split, to ensure they're catching up in strength.

    yh he srs it helps but also try unilateral calf work so one leg at a time. you'll probably always have imbalances to a degree; my right quad is a full inch bigger than my left and my right bicep is half an inch bigger than my left however my left pec is stronger than my right.
