Extensor Action At the Top And During Start Down

Tongzilla is correct in his response regarding the use of Pressure Point #3 to create Extensor Action, especially his comment regarding inhibiting the Left Wrist Cock.

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).
