It is true that Extensor Action can be exaggerated into an immobilizing fault. However, that does not obviate its purpose; namely, to provide a "structural rigidity" that is a strong deterrent to collapse under the stresses created by a powerful golf stroke, especially at the Top and through Impact.

To achieve maximum Zone 2 Power, the Arms (and with them the Club) must swing freely from the Shoulders (and not be bound to and drug around by them). Also, the Wrists must remain flexible to perform their Release functions (Uncock and Roll). However, that does not mean that the Power Package Structure (which these Components and their Loading collectively comprise) should be "loose" or, worse yet, "flimsy". Or that the Hands should be robbed of the firm Grip necessary to control Clubface alignments.

Just as there are good and bad cholesterols, so are there good and bad tensions in the Golf Stroke. Learning to differentiate between the two is one hallmark of a champion.

I would guess longer clubs need more EA, which could mean I am completely wrong.

Hey Bear. If we could take your mind for detail and share it with my "big-picture" perspectives, we could be insightful and entertaining most of the time.
