True extensor action is achieved using PP#3 pushing up plane and pp#2 the last fingers of the left hand pulling down plane. In TGM book the opposing pressure is from the left shoulder joint. It is much more precise if the pulling is from the last 3 fingers of the left hand and it will feel like an isometric exercise when done correctly with the right hand over powering the left a little on the back swing and the left overpowering the right a little on the down swing.
[During the down swing it is important that the pull from the left hand is produced with the down swing pivot and not just a pull of the left arm.
Ive written this post and erased it before but given this threads re surfacing.......
The above is interesting but remember we are in the Lab here and this is not to be found in the book. Not as written anyways, maybe kind of sort of.
The Pivot pulling on the #2 PP sounds like Drag Loading 10-19-C to me. Yoda does talk about Extensor Action in Startdown "Taking out the slack in the left side" as the Swingers Pivot turns the Left Shoulder to stretch the Left Arm as EA is thrusting the other way. In fact 12-3-0 Section 7's Startdown , thefirst point is "Extensor Action". This is Homers Extensor Action 6-B-1-D. The steady effort of the Right Triceps to straighten the Right Arm (but never doing so given the Left ARms check rein action) , either at PP#1 (left arm only stretch from shoulder to pp1) or at PP#3 (which will stretch the club and left arm together , in line, like pulling on both ends of a string........a short shot mainly thing where this form of EA can snap the Hands into an Impact Hands condition quickly, in Startup). See 10-19-0.
On the other hand, the two opposed Extensor Actions described above , running between , pp#3 and #2 would only stretch the area of the grip between those two points would they not? And not stretch the left arm. I did goof with it when putting for a while as it allowed me to keep my bent left arm. But I dont do it anymore. It had a sort of push me pull you kind of feel.
If it works for you great but the "True" Extensor Action is in the book to my mind. I believe this concept discussed here can put the left and right arms in conflict as the left is no longer passive. Homer thought the two arms, given the fact they had different orbits ( they attach to the body at different points) were in conflict. He solved this problem by making the Left Arm Passive, String Like, which required EA supplied by the right side to provide some structure (even for Passive Right ARm procedures as this Right Side Thrust is not directed towards the ball but away from the left shoulder along the line of the left arm.) Sort of like an artificial CF when you think about it. Hmm.
Sorry if I sound like a book literalist or something but Extensor Action is one heck of an amazing thing........... as written. And so I feel compelled to defend it. Its aint hard , its like defending the need for a constant radius to scribe a perfect circle............ uh, literally. The string that runs from the Center (Left Shoulder) to the pencil (#1 pp) or whatever , must be taught to draw a perfect circle. That isnt Homers "truth" its just the truth. It doesnt work so well when two arms each with their own center are both at work.
