For me, extensor action is difficult to take from words on a page to implementation. If I try to foucs on it by applying pressure througout the motion it adds too much tension to my hands, wrists, and motion.

I try to keep width and structure in my swing but I have to do it without tension. In other words, if my right hand were to come off the the club at the top, my right arm wouldn't immediately straighten out because I'm not apply that kind of pressure.

Similarly, I find it difficult to treat my left arm as a rope. If I try to apply that literally, it feels like I'm swinging with one arm.

I have to moderate how I apply these for best results.

Extension Action is easy to apply on the Downstroke but its application on the UP stroke is what increases individual tension in the swing. Less is More to quote Buckminster Fuller. On the Up Stroke EA should guarantee only that the left arm does not shorten its radius as the right arm folds on the way to the top. The folding right elbow is the stabilizing action on the left arm to prevent a limp noodle.
On the DS, extension action is still the outward inline condition of the left arm remaining a constant radius. A limp noodle or string can easily shorten and a little is a lot in a precision golf stroke. This “inline outward” force is not what moves the flying wedges to the ball. The pivot train pushing Power accumulator number FOUR and/or the straightening of the right arm (Number One PA) does that but not with the same force that is EA. Extension Action is the geometric precision of the Power Package- not the power of the stroke.

Trig- swing the one arm but hit the snot out of it with the other using the same power train. A baseball hitter guides the bat with the lead front arm and knocks the cover off the ball with the bent trailing arm- and the arms never move on their own. Its all hips and hands. But the ball comes to the batter in that game.
