Extensor Action for short, medium and long strikes.

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).
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!
