extensor action
"6-B-1-D. EXTENSOR ACTION is exclusively the steady effort to straighten the bent Right Arm."
1. What is the MAGNITUDE of the force YOU apply? (Lbs. or Kg.)
2. Where is YOUR point of application? (ie. #1 pp, #3 pp, other)
I would appreciate many short answers.
Thanks
The Bear

my take
1. just enough force to keep the left arm from bending
2. through PP#1
I'm a hitter

Hitting
Startup from Fix with EA turned on.
1. Just enough to straighten the string like inert left arm.
2. #1
Swinging.
Startup from Adjusted with EA turned almost off. Dial it up pressure wise during Backstroke (by about the time the hands are over the right leg) to snap the Hands back into their Address Fix/ IMpact Hands alignment.
1. as above
2. #1.
Note; I had a slight muscle strain in my left shoulder once from too much EA pressure. So Id say that it is possible to over do it.
Great question. Im interested in hearing from the guys who use #3.

My Extensor Action "Rule of Thumb" for the amount of force to apply is:
The Extensor Action Force can be greater than the #3 Pressure Point Pressure but not less than the #3 Pressure Point Pressure.
More "feels" better. In terms of weight: about 10 lbs is typical but more with my maximum #3 Pressure. The pressure for me is always located at the #1 PP including when I squeeze the Right Forefinger around the shaft for short shot control.

The heavier the EA, the truer the line of flight!

Assuming you haven't tried this, you should! Just for fun "youse guys" you should see how much EA you need to hit a yardage sign. Then try using your woods on short signs and long ones. I hit a middle back pin with a 5 wood from the rough last week 190 yards away, ON PURPOSE!  The ball then deflected 10 yards away down the hill and I made a "6." We had locked the other team out of the match so it was very fun.
I am easily amused. Speaking of which, my wife and I saw "Dinner for Schmucks," tonight, and there is a guy in the movie who is really into goat hearding, Daryl. Lots of very funny things in that movie. Y'all might enjoy it!

Thanks
Thanks Thom and O.B.Left- I get it NOW
Particular thanks to O.B., for answering my same question numerous times. I went back and re-read all your answers which I should have understood the first time. But you do know that ALL engineers are a little autistic and they get distracted by their own thoughts. It will take "SOME" practice to get new habits in and old out but the chick has hatched.
pS. Links to the quiz answers are up now.
Thanks
The Bear
