Thanks OB. I think I just realized your points or at least one of them.

The slack has to be taken out of the left arm to preserve the arm's track as the right elbow pushes the hell out of it. Pushing the arm away from the left shoulder determines the track of the shot.

Today, I kept pushing a lot of shots to the right by about 10 degrees. I was trying to solve the problem by fully stretching forward "to my left pocket." The resulting shot, hit on the upswing, results in high draw. The problem is that my left triceps is sore and I think you've explained why. Stretching the arm away from the left shoulder and out also helps the left arm pivot and sets-up the follow-through also,I'll wager.

Thanks!

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 , Ground Up, turns the Left Shoulder to stretch the Left Arm. In fact 12-3-0 Section 7's first 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 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.

Two Extensor Actions opposed to each other and running between , pp#3 and #2 would only stretch the area of the grip between those two points would it 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 as written to my mind. I believe this concept discussed here, though close to usable, if taken literally 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............ ah, literally.

Try and avoid this situation with the two arms. Stick with the stretched radius (left arm). The geometry demands it.
