[6bmike]

EdZ, 6bmike thanks for the informative posts. I'm certaintly not gonna give up on extensor action as it is so highly valued in TGM and i've already had a lot of success applying other TGM concepts.

6bmike one point you made that i just can't get my head around.



When you apply extensor action you are still applying a force to the left arm. As this is being aplied down the left arm this is a different direction than that of the left arm blast off. So surely extensor action holds it back to some extent?

golfbulldog i got a strong sense of deja vu reading your post. I wish i had the answers, i guess its just gonna take a lot more practice. Wouldn't it be great though to combine the looseness fo our non-extensor action swings with the mass 6bmike describes. Now that would be something to savor!

Extensor Action just pulls the left arm outward- it is a straight line tug (pulling that shirt sleeve out of the sport coat).
The folding right arm- the one that wants to straighten but is 'cut short' by the left arm acting like a dog leash, AND the shoulder turn/pivot moves the left arm ALONG the incline swing path- not extensor action.
