It applies to every stroke outside the Serve (which has its own sequential model).&nbsp; These sequential models are rooted in the Laws of Physics and the Principles of Biomechanics &#8211; concepts like Momentum, Rotation, Leverage, Balance and Ground Reaction Forces. &nbsp;These principles are the foundation to fundamentally sound, powerful, reliable strokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Another way to say all that:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In every fundamentally sound stroke, certain things <em>have to<\/em> happen. However you make those things happen is up to you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working with McCain Technical Consulting will give you the information you need to improve your strokes without infringing on your own personal style. You won\u2019t get complicated opinions that will force you to change a lot of things with your technique.\u00a0 You\u2019ll receive direct, straightforward messages and visual evidence to review what&#8217;s missing in your shots and a pathway to greater confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/buy.stripe.com\/dRm28tdj4dfm0834aifQI05\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"908\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/danmccain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/buy-now-stripe-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danmccain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/buy-now-stripe-1.jpg 908w, https:\/\/danmccain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/buy-now-stripe-1-300x64.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danmccain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/buy-now-stripe-1-768x164.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How it Works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click the Buy Now Button above \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select the stroke to be analyzed using the drop down menu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Describe any questions or concerns you have in the form.
