Extensor Action.....Questionable...
I know the immediate answer to my question may be that its two different sports, HOWEVER, do you think baseball players (while batting) are executing extensor action by pushing with their right hands, OR by keeping their left arm straight (right handed batters) by simply keeping it straight by extending IT???

Sometimes I feel a better all around extensor action and swing "flow" when I execute it by "keeping my left arm straight". When I use my right hand to exeucte extensor action, it feels a bit contrived and choppy.

Said another way, when I use my right hand to execute extensor action, if feels like my right hand is in control of the BS, then I transfer control to my left arm on the forward swing. But, when I use my left arm to control the BS and FS, my swing flow is a lot smoother (or at least it feels that way). I am a swinger, if that may have anything to do with it.

Any thoughts.
