It's more about the force of my swing pulling it straight, and me just being relaxed and letting it happen" (Camillo Villegas, Golf Magazine 3/08 ).

Is this a consequence of maintaining extensor action or does it have to do with the left shoulder climbing after impact? Other ideas?
I don't think he is alluding to extensor action but you might gain an insight into what Mr Villegas is saying by making a few flat out left arm only swings.

This "drill" is the panacea for many ills and should, imho, be undertaken regularly.
