As a righthander I would prefer to "wrap your left hand around your right wrist" to more emulate the position of the hands on the club -- and surely the point of Extensor Action is to keep the LEFT arm straight -- which the right arm does very easily in this alternate configuration.

But there again I could be mistaken -- as all of this is somewhat new to me
