McEnroe asymmetric lead tape at 3 & 9
Saw a while back where, on his Max 200g, he had lead at 3 & 9, but only on the face of one side. IOW, as you look at the face, you'd see lead on either 3, but it would be on the backside of 9, and look asymmetrical. Or vice versa.
On a forehand, it could be on the leading edge of 3, while on a backhand, it would be on the trailing edge of 9. Or vice versa.
It would theoretically yield different results depending on whether he was hitting a forehand vs backhand. Just not sure what the difference would be.
Does anyone know or recall which side it was on? Or the rationale behind it? Does he still do it that way now?
