Extensor Action Flattens the Left Wrist and thus Bends the Right Wrist.

The left arm is like a bungee cord unused, limp like a noodle. But tug on the bungee cord and it is activated, and so is the left arm when Extensor Action is applied. . In fact the left arm activation with 6b1d promotes rhythm not destroy it.

Can I look at it the other way round.

after we had set our right wrist position, are we indirectly promoting the extensor action?

Sound a bit silly, I am a swinger; where, during my golf swing the only part I conciously monitor are

Backswing - right wrist and lag (Feel), might be a little bit of the plane line too.
Downswing - left wrist and the lag (feel) + ammm might be a little bit of my right wrist through out the swing, and the delivery line

If I wish to change the ball flight, a cut, fade, hook & draw, I monitor my right Shoulder rotation.

As I always believe that my ZONE 1 is always a "trained passive component"

Nomatter what shot I am playing, my thought is not much different to a chip. I feel very compact, and very little motion.

Might be my swing thought is a bit fuuny, and this is how I play. Is there anything where I can improve on it? Or I am totally wrong?

Thanks

In real time and in sequence photo, you've seen children -- small children -- swinging a golf club back with a straight left arm. At no time have they been advised to keep their left arm straight, nor are they attempting to do so. So why is their left arm so straight?

It is because they are swinging the club back with their right arm. And that right arm is stretching the left in the process. It's the same motion we make when we wind up to throw a ball.

This is not hard.

This is a very natural thing to do.

Put your mind in your Right Forearm, keep your Head stationary, wind up and let it happen.

Thanks Lynn-

This post, along with a bad front nine, lead me to "what the hell, give it a shot..., I aint doing much with how I am swinging now....". Even though I only score slightly better on the back, I hit the most crisp shots, particularly iron shots, that I have hit....well, EVER!

I proceeded to play the University of Michigan course (an Alister McKenzie design), FROM THE TIPS (6,880 yds,which I never do), and posted an 80......May not mean much to anyone else, but, for me...

I have (had) a John Daly type backswing....without any of his distance of course. The application of extensor has made my swing more compact, easier to repeat, I get to low point better, and my path is exceptionally better (I had to adjust to this new-found draw bias in my swing now).

Anyway, just wanted to follow-up on the initial question I posted to say, .....Just forget I ever asked!!!

Extensor Ecstasy

No one has ever explained why they use the half-a$$ version of extensor action as described by Homer. Everyone, including Yoda, use PP #1 which gives only the straight left arm rather than using PP #3 which adds the stretch of the clubshaft away from the left hand.
