6-B-1-D Extensor Action

"the stretch direction is always below plane"

Would this mean if the left arm was a piece of string we would be trying to pull the string tight NOT along the line of the shaft, but to a point on the ground below the shaft?

Thanks in advance

Yes.

I believe it says something about "except with no #3 accumulator" (which is that angle formed between the shaft and left forearm) it is "below plane". The only time you might have a zero #3 accumulator would be if you put the grip of the club in the cup of the left hand.

The tug is on the primary lever- the left arm, NOT on both levers, so not along the shaft. The shaft (the Plane) needs to be released (the clubhead) rolled on a straight plane line (clubface). EA on the shaft would be a big brake- even for a Hitter. EA is structure- Flying Wedge glue, not a power source.

So the downward inline Extensor action goes below the plane (shaft)- and whatever power accumulator number three angle it still has.

I was think in terms of Yoda's pull the sleeeve tight thought.

So basically I need to make sure i'm NOT trying to pull on the shaft, just the feeling of trying to pull on the left arm to keep it stretched?

Thanks in advance

Yes- pull on the sleeve or arm. Now see the shaft angled up to form acc#3, that tug goes under the shaft. The tug is always inline. never moves it in an arc.

Well, i've gone to feeling like I almost have "yips" to feeling confident on working on my pitching and chipping.

Thank you to everyone

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!

Cool...glad to hear it!

R,

That's good to hear.

It's a nice example of how some basic TGM information combined with a reasonable attempt to try and understand it can help a golfer get better.

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.
