Extensor Action Questions
Can you guys help me out with extensor action?

-How can it be a pulling action if you use your triceps? Or it is pushing the right to pull the left?
-Doesn't this uncock the club? Everytime I exaggerate it, I stick the face in the ground.
-How heavy should it feel? Someone said it is a very significant feeling. For a swinger?
-Is it PP#1? If it is #3, how does that work
-Why is t rhythm? I would love to know. Really don't get that!

Thanks!

Pulling your arm not your leg.
Extensor Action can be difficult to understand.

Think of your left arm as a piece of string. Use your Right Arm to stretch it out and keep it stretched at least until Follow Trough; extension without tension, a pulling of the left arm where the heel of the right hand presses against the left thumb (not a push). Use the pull on #3 for shorter shots to give you the precise idea of where the club's sweet spot is located.

Extensor Action is exclusively the steady effort to straighten the bent right arm.

Yoda quote: "The Right Elbow actuates the #3 Accumulator Roll (Rhythm). Right Tricep Extensor Action against the Checkrein Action of the Left Arm controls the Right Elbow. When you control the Right Elbow, you control the rate of Clubhead Closing."

thanks for the response. However, I still don't understand how the action is a pull. How can you pull against the left thumb and limit the biceps fold? I think I get it, but the insistance on the pulling action makes me think I'm missing something.

Roll-gybe

The trail arm, the right arm for the right handed golfer, is always exerting a downward onplane push. Pick good ole Grandpa patting the top of 6 year old Johnny's head. This extention of the right arm is held in check by the inert left arm--"checkrein" action. The left thumb may fell the pull of this right arm extensor action, specifically the heel section of the right hand will be pushing downward against the thumb.

Sorry for the typos try this instead

The trail arm, the right arm for the right handed golfer, is always exerting a downward and onplane push. Picture good ole Grandpa using his right arm to pat the top of 6 year old Johnny's head. This extention of the right arm is held in check by the inert left arm--"checkrein" action. The left thumb may feel the pull of this right arm extensor action, specifically the heel section of the right hand will be pushing downward against the left thumb.

Not necessarily. What it does is add structural integrity to the Power package assembly-- the two arms and club–- thus make the assembly more "massive".

how do.
you differentiate the extensor action from the steady down and out action without running out of right arm?? i feel like doing both those actions at the same time is difficult and hard to repeat??? any suggestions

extensor action is not a 'down the shaft motion', but a motion directly towards the ground where your left arm (left wedge) is pointing.

Just enough to keep the left arm straight....if it's straight you're pretty much applying Ext. Action.

Wrists still loose, etc.
