Homer Kelley named and defined Extensor Action. He identified it, gave it its precision and endowed it with the importance it deserves. But, he was not the first to teach it. In the classics, at least two others come to mind: Robert MacDonald, Golf, 1927. Percy Boomer, On Learning Golf, 1946. I would also add Seymour Dun, Golf Fundamentals, 1922, except that his emphasis on the "stiff" Left Arm was via strong left triceps action, with nary a mention of the right triceps (and its responsibility). Thanks Yoda The slack you take up, your lag and your actual slacks are world class too. O.B.Left View Public Profile Send a private message to O.B.Left Find all posts by O.B.Left
