When the pain of staying the same exceeds the pain of change...then change is possible. Hugh Nose (no really I don't know who to attribute this to! Adler maybe? )

Extensor action is CRUCIAL everywhere but especially when precision is a premium i.e. around the 41/2 inch center of gravity we are all drawn to (some sooner than others. Go Sooners!) I become more structured the closer I get to the hole! EA is the indespensible precision tension without rigor mortis force! It is easy to demonstrate but I find some people think it an optional extra. The day Yoda does an article in Golf Digest about the flying wedges is the day Mike O's space ship breaks the atmosphere of muddled golf instruction! If only the aticle had been written when Okie was a mere sprout. You still would not have heard of me...but I would have smiled more!

I recall from the video where Yoda is striping one frozen rope drive after the other (all layered up with clothing and liquored up with unbridled enthusiasm) the last thing he says before start up is "extensor action" then "kablamo" Pardon my Grade A sycophance (not to confused with what bucket has) but I have seen them all (best in the world since say Seve) and your swing/hit is a thang of beauty, Mr Yoda. When the crucial alignments are preset then set it just looks "right" I have watched that particular video...100 times...easy!

Mike O (The Big O) please count this as a double post. I got youngins crawling all over the place. Momma bear is under the weather! How to apply a normal force in child rearing!

I beg your forgiveness. I did not mean to imply that Extensor Action is optional. I am merely asking, if perhaps, another way is feasible.
