Alex can you explain what you mean when you say

"Adding extensor action just added a lot of precision and structure to the backswing (Ted showed me how it is supposed to be applied the day before and I could not believe how much pressure it was!!) "

Do you mean you were stretching so hard it created tension or are you referring to lag pressure?

Thanks

Its not tension, as everyone knows tension is not a good thing in a good swing. Its more of a taughtness, I could feel that downward/outward pull of the right hand against the left at address and all the way to the backstroke and all the way through the downstroke.
A little drill that you could do is to put on a jumper (sweater for the Stateside guys) but leave the left sleeve out. Now grab the left sleeve at the cuff area with your right hand and pull it taught. Make a backswing with the left sleeve taught. That is the feel that you want with extensor action and you maintain it all the way to top and then all the way down on the downstroke.
Lag pressure for me is felt on the right index finger/knuckle (PP#3) and I feel it most on the downstroke and at impact when I have that feeling of 'dragging the wet mop' You have to remember that the clubhead trails the hands and the pressure that you feel is lag pressure.
