Extensor Action is just the pull on the Left Arm in a straight outward linear direction. It is the same in either stroke. Think of it as 'motion glue' of the Flying Wedges.
A Hitter has by nature a more conscious stroke. All control. But EA is no different. Stretch-Pull of the left Arm by the Right Arm just like Swingers.
A Swinger at Standard Address will use EA to snap into a Bent Right and a Flat Left wrist. It is still the Right Arm taking the club up in a RFT- not EA, since EA doesn't ever move the Left Arm in any direction but straight outward from the Left Shoulder.
A Swinger using a Lagging Clubhead Take-Away is still a hand control take-away since it is the clubhead lagging behind the hands. EA is still applied by the right arm as the elbow folds. The clubhead doesn't do the work- it is just the object of momentum.
In either take-away- both still a RFT- it is the Right Forearm that is lifting the club and Left Arm, not EA. The Right Arm is not only driving against PP1 and PP3 but is pulling outward- linear- on the left Arm- the OUTWARD is EA not the driving. This gives structure to the stroke, Flying Wedges and Power Package.
Long answer- sorry
6b, not long....just complete!!! This is why I come here! These answers have been hidden from me for so long. I'm playing a lot of catch-up at the moment.
I noticed in the picture 9-2-1#1 in the 7th edition that the lady's right elbow looks like it is pointing outside her right hip. I've always thought it should be pointing down and at the right hip. Would you mind clarifying that for me?

The picture of the lady- her name is Diane, a neighbor and student of Homer Kelley as well as the model Homer used throughout the years- the man was way ahead of the times in many ways- she is in Preliminary Address. This is when you as the golfer take assessment of the shot- spins the hard drive of their brain (chapter 14).
But…. I notice Diane has her right elbow closer to the outside of her hip even at Adjusted Address in Ch8 and Ch9. Maybe someone can shed some light of this.
Please notice that she does have the Right Forearm set perfectly to the shaft in the side view pictures. And you can’t beat that.
In Swinging,during release and follow through,where should you feel more
the EA ,in PP1 or PP3 or neither one but just the right elbow?
Thanks
I have similar questions:
1) Since the right arm is always trying to straighten but generally with a Bent Right Wrist, the Extensor Action "feel point" would be the first point of contact, Pressure Point 1 (heel of the right hand), correct?
2) If 1) is true, does it follow that the feel of the stretch in the left arm should be more from the base of the left thumb up the inner forearm (along the radius bone), up the upper arm into the armpit area?
3) If 2) is true, does it follow that when the left wrist area turns and rolls in the swing that it does so primarily around the forearm radius bone and the base of the thumb?
Thanks.
