If you simply keep the left arm straight, then bend the right elbow, the right hand moves closer to the right shoulder. So what? That's not theoretical.

Daryl apart from your tone.... when did I say my post was theoretical... - it is just basic fact !

My post was intended to show how elbow location and extensor action are two seperate concepts entirely.... This is undesputable!

If you move the right elbow out away from the body during EA RFT Start-up and Backswing, then you're just struggling and more theory won't bring you any closer to applying the Magic of the Right Forearm and its perfect motion geometry.

Wow, wait a minute here - your talking to me about geometry !

Also power package alignments stem from their relation to the inclined plane.... not to "the body".... That is alignment golf, not some numbnut approximation.

EA Backswing and EA Downswing, are related because the left arm is a checkrein in both directions. Checkrein is just step one. EA is an action permitting not causing.

Perhaps you need to go back and study Extensor action 6-B-1-D where on the very first line says it "is exclusively the steady effort of straightening the right arm".

The Straight left arm is a checkrein against the straightening of the right arm on the downswing, and against the bending of the right arm during the Backswing.

The right arm stretches but does not move the left arm. The left arm does not change length and acts like a leash, and as the hands get closer to the right shoulder, the elbow bends. The left arm needs this stretch to stay at its full extension. You can bend the right elbow and not have extensor action, to think otherwise would be idiotic.....

EA will allow you to easily acquire the flying wedges and the longitudinal alignment of the left arm and clubshaft as long as you don't muck it up by forcing the right elbow out of position that EA created for it. That's not theoretical. IMHO.

Extensor action has nothing to do with the flying wedges, there is no 'longitudinal alignment' of the left arm and extensor action has nothing to with the loading and the right elbow position. Thats TGM sludge. FACT!
