I know understand that EA goes below plane at address (direction of left arm is below plane).
I think the Ahaa moment is realizing that applying EA to the left hand through pp#1 during the swing will always be below plane even as the R forearm is on plane.
I also have a question concerning the feel of EA being a below plane stretch. I can understand that "below Plane feel" at Fix, Address, Startup, Followthrough but does it become more of an "on Plane" feel as you approach the Top and Startdown as well as when you approach the Finish sections of the motion.

Rob,
Extensor Action is employed from Impact Fix (or as late as Start Up) to the end of Follow Through. After that it is no longer in use (Finish). During the sections that Extensor Action is working its magic, the left arm is above the Plane (unless #3 is zero'ed out), necessitating the direction of the stretch to be below the Plane. But it does cross the Plane at the point of pressure directing the stretch. As you approach Top, the direction of the stretch is closer to the Plane Angle, but still below it.
