6b you are a beauty! As you can tell EA is still a ponderous topic for me. So, because it is a below plane pull on the left arm and not the club shaft (which is supported by the on plane right forearm) it has not relationship to the shaft (unless you zero out # 3) What is the benefit of this? It allows the shaft to move independently of the left arm based on the amount of # 3 Acc? I hope that makes sense!

I believe EA serves the same function, regardless of zeroing out # 3 or not. So there is no benefit in terms of EA to the stretch being below plane. The stretch direction (or its relation to the club shaft). just is what it is, based on amount of # 3. The benefit to having or not having # 3, or degrees of, is in the transfer of power, or degrees of.
I was referencing that with #3Acc the stretch is below the plane of the clubshaft, without # 3 Acc it is on the same plane. Correct?
Yes . . . Right Triceps Extensor Action stretches the Left Arm in the direction it is pointing. When the #3 Accumulator (Left Arm / Clubshaft Angle) is zeroed, there is theoretically a Left Shoulder Plane Angle. In this instance, the Extensor Action stretch in "On" Plane, not "Below" Plane.
What would be a good way of practicing extensor action with/without a club in your hand?
I think I understand the concept, but I feel I am directing it along the shaft. I have read the posts on this but wonder if anyone can add different drills/thoughts as to feel both?
Any drills anyone may have spring to mind?

Pulling on your left thumbkin may prove helpful. If you feel as though you are pulling on plane with the shaft as opposed to below plane, then you might want to look into how you are gripping the club with your left hand, seeings that this determines the degree of the #3 Acc. angle. If # 3 is zeroed out or close to zeroed out because you are gripping too much in the palm the pull will be close to or actually on the plane of the shaft. The idea that golf is a game of inches is quite apparent when you consider the # Acc. I like to look in the mirror to visually ensure that the stretch is below plane.
