Your dominant leg in passing is going to be forward.

And you might find yours by shooting a lay-up on both sides of the rim and taking off with either foot. You know if you're shooting a layup on the left side, you can go off of either leg, see which one feel better for you, but usually it's the opposite for your dominant leg.

So your dominant leg forward in passing once you figure out which one of your legs is dominant, keep that one forward in passing."
