Extensor action is important to solid sweet spot impact if done correctly. Many golfers will apply just the push of the right arm without a slight pull of the left arm and this can change the radius of the left arm. The results are fat shots. Make sure you have opposite pull of the left arm to the pushing right arm to maintain the same radius of the left arm when applying extensor action. Fat shots will be a thing of the past.

I can't remember reading or hearing Mr Kelly say anything about the "opposite pull of the left arm" with regard to Extensor Action. I'd love to hear what he had to say about that, though. Can you let me know where you heard or read that? Thanks in advance.

I did not hear it from any one. I have been teaching it for 20 years. Give it a try. It works.

i developpend shank city trying this, but its probably my fault, coz as my focus changed doing this, the swing thoughts change so i probably started manipulating the club instead of letting law work for me.
Works great for me. The left arm pull is very slight, just enough to keep me from pulling my arm out of socket. Great structure and a little more right arm bend.

Ah, ok, it sounded like that was part of the definition of Extensor Action.
Maybe when defining a TGM term like Extensor Action it would be better to say something like "Extensor Action is.... etc" but I teach a modified version of it "by adding... etc."
I don't mean to be disrespectful, or anything, it's just that TGM is confusing enough as it is.

Mr Kelley referred to the "checkrein" action of the left arm, where it applies a constant resistance to the effort the right arm makes to straighten.
Confusion arises from guys thinking that extensor action is the right arm pulling, and keeping, the left arm straight; whereas it is the left arm preventing the straightening of the right arm.
Mr Kelley did not deal in confusion: that only occurs in individual interpretations of what he was very specific about.

I understand there is allot of info in TGM book. If you do the extensor action by the TGM book the radius can change. So add a little pull from the left arm to keep the left arm from growing too much. It helps big time for many golfers.
