Personally, except for Extensor Action Takewaway, I find it much easier to create (and teach) Extensor Action using Pressure Point #1 (the heel of the Right Hand pushing against the Left Hand thumb).
It is particularly effective to feel this 'Right Arm Pushaway / Left Arm Stretch' at the Top. Practice daily the Start Down Waggle while applying Extensor Action 'Push / Stretch'. The combination of the two is the first Check Item at the Top in the Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3 / Section 6).

Could it be that HITTERS ARE BETTER STRETCHING THE ARM WITH #1, AND SWINGERS WITH #3, OR IS THIS JUST A PREFERENCE? HOW ABOUT A COMBINATION OF 1 AND 3?
