Are there takeaways from this delivery that might help you (and I ) ?
YES !!
Observe his “dual leg drive” up and into the hit – by staying balanced and getting good use from his back foot he maximizes his leg drive
Observe his head with reference to something behind him and note how he physically goes up and into the hit – and is not descending at the moment of contact
Get a feeling for his toss – not overly high such that the delivery is rhythmic and not in any way effortful
Mac was utterly dominant in the 1984 season with an 82 – 3 record, losing in 5 sets to Lendl at the French Open, but beating Connors and then Lendl both in straight sets to capture the Wimbledon and US Open crowns.
