However, you could, especially during takeaway, stretch the shaft through pp#3 (which is actually a slight pushing motion via triceps) which also stretches the left arm - and therefore, from shoulder to hosel will form a straight line. This is structure.

Per 6-B-1-D, Extensor Action is always a below-plane Pull. This Pull straightens ideally, the entire Primary Lever Assembly (both the Left Arm and Clubshaft / 6-A-2) through Pressure Point #3. However, with the less skillful player, this #3 Pressure Point Pull may induce Clubhead Throwaway. In which case, the Extensor Action should be limited to a straightening of the Left Arm only (by Pulling on the Left Thumb through Pressure Point #1). In either event, the Extensor Action is always a Pulling Action, never a Pushing Action.
You can't Push a piece of string into a straight line.

Extensor Action is a pull when you see it perform with the left arm. After reading this post and thinking about pressure points, with pp#1 and pp#3 on the trail side of the shaft, it is easy to conclude that both are pushes. The left arm of course creates a pull, but I always thought pp#1 was a push. I use little pp#1 since I'm a "puller." I'll have to bring my hands back to school.
