It is because they are swinging the club back with their right arm. And that right arm is stretching the left in the process. It's the same motion we make when we wind up to throw a ball.

This is not hard.

This is a very natural thing to do.

Put your mind in your Right Forearm, keep your Head stationary, wind up and let it happen.

Thanks Lynn-

This post, along with a bad front nine, lead me to "what the hell, give it a shot..., I aint doing much with how I am swinging now....". Even though I only score slightly better on the back, I hit the most crisp shots, particularly iron shots, that I have hit....well, EVER!

I proceeded to play the University of Michigan course (an Alister McKenzie design), FROM THE TIPS (6,880 yds,which I never do), and posted an 80......May not mean much to anyone else, but, for me...

I have (had) a John Daly type backswing....without any of his distance of course. The application of extensor has made my swing more compact, easier to repeat, I get to low point better, and my path is exceptionally better (I had to adjust to this new-found draw bias in my swing now).

Anyway, just wanted to follow-up on the initial question I posted to say, .....Just forget I ever asked!!!
