Extensor Action on a Scale
 

If you had to rate the amount of force you use to apply extensor action on a scale from 1 to 5 what would it be - for Swinging? And for Hitting?

Let's define "1" as the minimum force required for the right arm to pull the left arm into a straight line. And "5" as the maximum force possible for the right arm to straighten against the checkrein of the left arm (as in isometrics).

I think Yoda in one of the videos mentions that it doesn't take that much force, if I remember right. Therefore I suggest a 2.

Extensor Action for short, medium and long strikes.
 

Hi. I can ramp up EA to a "4" sometimes and punch a 150 yard shot close to a pin! Try it. I got the idea from Lynn's "Holies and Polies" video. I think there is a lot of EA in a lot of good golfers here, on this forum.

I have hit great shots out of rough over 180 yards using EA to a "5!" I have also "punched" 200 yard plus drives with heavy EA. The ball shot off like a rocket. I cannot do it consistently, though.

I am not a good enough golfer, yet, to know how to master EA or much else, which is why I am psyched to see Lynn in April.

I am trying to build a Steve Stricker Golf Machine that I can use. I think he has a lot of EA. When I figure more stuff out, I'll let you know.

Keep experimenting and reporting back!

Ounce for Ounce = Ton of Fun
 

EA should feel like an "ounce" that produces a "ton" of structure.

Love the "S" word!

:salut:

Ya thats a good one, Bbax thanks.

I find that if the Left Arm muscles start getting too involved , you know like they used to before RFT, then there can be conflict between the arms.

So I'd also like to add that in regard to EA....."it dont mean a thing if you aint got that string".

I hope the captain of this sort of thing, Drewit comes in here. Our resident Rhyming Captain, Chapman.

My 2 cents on EA. After working on this religiously the past month I have found that the flaring (walrus) of the right arm actually pulls the left arm straight. I have found that doing your forearm takeaway "correctly" with applying pressure to PP#1 keeps the left arm straight. I also noticed that for me I was bending my left arm mainly because my right arm was folding to much. If the right arm folds (warchant) too much then the left arm has to bend.
