I find I hit the ball better and keep it on plane easier if I pull my left arm with my right.

I tend to extend too much back though (too wide, very late set) and not enough up. I've been working on incorporating more of the 'up' part of 'back, up, and in' and it feels very good.

I find it gets me to a spot where I can drive down and through the ball better and mash it much more, with reliance on timing...I don't hang back anymore or hit it thin. Much more 'on top of it."

The key for me is to not pull my left arm away from my side as much...it's still not fully connected tho.

I like to feel that I'm taking it up but still "keep the string (left arm) taught." I still have more of a later set but this is perfect now.

U can do what you're used to tho man...that's my 2 cents on extensor action...just thought I'd share.
