| KingCast65 ::: Favorites 2007-12-26 00:50:17 Studio 54 anyone? Broadway Vitas? Folks are a product of their era. Also the concept of Mac as someone who would have physically trained to keep in top-top form is simply Not Him. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for the Vilas/McEnroe tennis exhibition tour as well.... __________________________________________________ | |
| KingCast65 ::: Favorites 2007-12-26 00:46:24 Or you could be, or it could be somewhere in between :) Seriously, I do remember it was a Big Deal to serve over 100 in the early 80's so it could have been in the low 100's. __________________________________________________ | |

| mephatboi ::: Favorites 2007-12-25 22:49:48 ummm i dont think so we're talking about mac in his prime here, he could serve over 110 w/ the same racquet in the late '80s when he was 1/2 the player he was in '84 i was thinking more along the lines of 110 minimum... those monster aces he hit in '84 down the tee in the ad side were something else... they were never clocked to my knowledge but who knows, maybe u're right __________________________________________________ | |
| mephatboi ::: Favorites 2007-12-25 22:42:30 too bad he also imitated borg w/ the cocaine/pot (w/ Vitas' help), which undoubtably took a huge toll on his game by '85 if papa mac had instilled in lil jonnie an anti-drug position (as he instilled a strong patriotic sense to play davis cup), we'd all be talking about whether sampras/fed compared to mac but that's just my theory... __________________________________________________ | |
| KingCast65 ::: Favorites 2007-12-25 22:26:49 I would guess 95 or so. He could get up to 115-120 with the newer rackets but back then 100 was a rocket. __________________________________________________ | |
| KingCast65 ::: Favorites 2007-12-25 22:25:34 Yeah I loved my Pro Staff, even had the lead tape and whatnot on it. I believe Mac changed his serve because of a back prollem. It stuck and I'm sure he realized it disguised the shot even more so there you go. Nice on the clarity/resolution. __________________________________________________ | |
| mephatboi ::: Favorites 2007-12-19 02:33:10 how fast was that mcenroe ace? any guesses?? __________________________________________________ | |

| teflonmagnet ::: Favorites 2007-12-08 03:17:45 thanks for this clip...i have never seen mcenroe with a conventional service setup. he didn't have his unique pendulum-serve style down when he played his first wimbledon. "ohhh, that's a classic!" why do the umpires at wimbledon have such a difficult time pronouncing all but the easiset surnames? __________________________________________________ | |
| teflonmagnet ::: Favorites 2007-12-08 03:12:57 the jack kramer pro staff. the favored wood racquet of its day. unbelievable how difficult tennis is when playing with a wooden club. no power, balance, stability or sweetspot...yet, they afforded finesse and touch. totally different game especially on grass. __________________________________________________ | |
| ZebZachary ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 16:07:13 True...in Mac's book "You Cannot Be Serious", he admits that he was a huge admirer of Borg and says that is the reason he wore the Fila tennis apparel in the early days, before he acquired the Sergio Tacchini endorsement. __________________________________________________ | |
