good leg

Spinner's natural delivery

Good leg describes the uninjured or stronger of a person's two legs, especially when one has been hurt or is weaker: He put his weight on his good leg while the sprained ankle healed.

The phrase assumes a comparison—there's only a "good leg" when there's also a bad one.
