Mechanical Notes
NWU, over-the-top, power delivery with big stride. Chest-high leg lift, partial turn to close off, strong lower half push, lands slightly open, massive spine tilt to bring arm slot over the top, head whack. Arm action: Wraps with a claw, long arm action in the back, late arm, plus extension, keeps his followthrough online with good consistency.
