I'm trying to redo my swing, going from a hitter to swinger. One aspect I'm having difficulty with is this Extensor thing. How does one attempt to keep the right arm straight to accomplish Extensor Action at the same time one bends the right elbow in the back swing?

Trying to accomplish this feat is difficult as my right elbow doesn't seem to know what to do! Bend or stay straight. Even a light tug outward with the right seems to inhibit the bending process.

Thanks

Hi Liftoff

Try this and see if it helps: hold both arms straight out in front of you palms facing each other. Wrap your right hand around your left wrist as if gripping a club. Apply extensor action to your left arm and pull it horizontally across your chest. Notice how the left arm keeps the right from straightening as the right elbow bends. Now throw this whole thing on an inclined plane and see how that feels.

I hope this helps a bit.
