I apply it using solely my right arm through pp #1 (i actually find pp #3 more restricting) down the direction of my left arm. I wouldn't say my left arm muscles are at all tense but the left arm is pulled taut, and it is this that i feel inhibits my left arm and wrists. When using extensor action my swing as a whole feels much more connected to my body. To explain further there are some areas in the swing where i particularly feel this restriction. - My lagging clubhead takeaway feel is much less pronounced. - At the change of direction my hands feel less responsive to the weight of the clubhead and i don't feel i get the same lag. - Probably related to the point above. At the top of the swing my arms and body feel like they change direction as one. Instead of the arms continuing to go up as the body starts down. - Also my left arm blast off feel less dynamic. Without extensor action i get a real feeling of flinging the left arm into impact. But extensor action seems to try and hold the left arm in place. So i'm guess what i'm asking is are these feelings because of the incorrect application of extensor action or have other people had similar feelings thenselves? You should feel more clubhead weight. I feel that the "TUG" adds effective mass to the left arm as it performs acc#4. Maybe you are applying too much. It is just a tug to activate the rubber band. The right shoulder blasts the left arm off the chest regardless of the linear pull of extensor action to the edge of the circle. Extensor Action does not hold back or move it along the swing path. A tug to activate a consistent radius. sorry- back to work. 6bmike View Public Profile Send a private message to 6bmike Find all posts by 6bmike
