Heard Annika say that her main swing thought was to keep her right arm straight throughout the swing. Obviously it cant due to the left arms checkrein action. But that was her feel for extensor action and it obviously worked well.

Annika's Bent Right Arm

Thanks for this quote, Daz. This is the essence of Extensor Action: While maintaining the Clubshaft On Plane, the right arm tries to stay straight, but can't!

The 'proof is in the pudding':

Since Annika's right arm/Elbow is very definitely bent at the Top of her Stroke, it must be the result of the Straight Left Arm's Checkrein Action (6-B-1-D) despite her Bent Right Arm's attempt to stay straight.

Lynn,
Using precise calculating methods over the last day I have determined that on November 1, 2009 you'll reach 11,745 posts. However, being a computer wiz , I have accessed the code to this forum and the maximum allowed all time posting number is currently 10,000! You better get BamBam off his ...., before you hit the ceiling on July 9th, 2009!

Mike, using a Fisher-Price calculator does not quantify "Using precise calculating methods"!!! Just kidding, please don't ban me from Mike O's Golf Emporium and Forum.

Why?
Why do you only work with Wedges and Woods? Something against the iron game? What's a wood? I'd like to get to the bottom of the bucket on these issues (OK, that was bad but it's the best I got right now! Leave me alone!). I'll look up where you work - I'd like to put this Fisher Price Calculator up...... Whoa! Stop! Where is my medication!!!

Yet more proof that amphetamines and Irish whiskey are not a substitute for breakfast.

Where is the "catchy" Title to this post ?

Something like:

Stretching the Truth, or Getting a New Leash on Life, or Your Pulling My left Arm, or Pull My Thumb (one for Bucket), or Lending a Helping Hand...

Writing makes a precise man . I once heard someone say.
