so i think this is an important point for tgmers especially, but also for any golfer in general.
for the club and hands to move on plane they must move back up and in instantly and simultaneously, but the arms have a given length and with extensor and a stationary head and without any pulling out from the arm sockets or shoulder joints the structure and WIDTH to the body will remain in tact. when we use extensor and lift the club up and in around the stationary post the clubhead and hands only incidentally went BACK as well as they incidentally go forward as the club moves down and out down plane. I think most golfers have a perceived instinct of power to move the body back and forth. The best drill i have found to date is the feet together drill which eliminates that feeling of back and forth. so yes there is back and forward in the golf swing but i think we would all play much better focusing more on the UP AND IN AND DOWN AND OUT and less on the back and forward. rft and extensor doesn't just mean going back back back on the plane line, that is NOT tracing, not extensor. get the club up off the ground and into the air WITH extensor WHICH GIVES YOU THE WIDTH, THE BACK without doing any added back reachy motion. In the downswing as well the hips and extensor carry the hands forward incidentally as they focused on going down and out DOWN plane. when you try and jam the hands forward, trying to jam forward lean over there or trace trace trace back back back along the ground wiiiide you are RUINING the circle and the geometry that you are trying to achieve. Turn around the post, lift the club up and in and send it down and out down plane to both arms straight. no back in the upswing
