Let me ask you guys something about this thread.....Right Forearm Pick Up.

The word "Pick Up" sounds like a pulling action designed to lift.

I may be way off here but that seems to me (pulling up or picking up) a detrimental thought/action.

Shouldn't extensor action be more of a pushing action with the hands that if properly done will cause the right elbow to bend.?

I find that when i turn the left hand and "push" down or against the turned left hand in the takeaway, along with a leading right hip turn, that not only do the hands stay more centered to the body but the right elbow bends (up) as a natural bio-mechanical reaction.

So, he said, as he stepped out on that finger lickin' greasy limb....don't you think it should have been called a Bent Right Hand Forearm Push Up?

Homer called it a pick up becasue you pick the club up on plane. It is really that simple.
Extensor Action does not pick up the club or move the left arm in any way. Extensor Action gives structure to the left arm so the stroke doesn't fall apart. It straightens the left arm and can feel like a pushing down to straighten the left arm or can feel like a pulling or tugging on the left arm. It stretches never moves.

I feel a tug or pulling on my left arm but the right arm picks up the club and left arm- not Extensor Action.
