Optional Extensor Action

[Daryl]

The Term Extensor Action is used 20 times from page 30 to page 192 and “is exclusively the steady effort to straighten the bent Right Arm.” It is structural reinforcement and provides excellent support for the Primary Lever and especially under the stresses Right Arm Thrust. But does the Swinger need anything more than what CF provides?

Extensor Action is limiting for the Swinger in Total Motion Swings because it stiffens the Wrists (“While this particular application of Power inhibits a “take-over” of the action by Centrifugal Force”) and is slightly cumbersome when stretching to End.

I’ve been toying with a different kind of Structure for about 18 months. It doesn’t have a name but I can explain the mechanics. It allows the wrists to remain free and allows one to easily reach End without swaying.

Directions:

1. Grip the Clubshaft normally.
2. Assume your Golf Posture.
3. Apply extension to the Left Arm. Don’t tighten the left arm muscles. Simply push the Left Hand with enough force to straighten it. The Left Arm will only extend very Slightly if any.
4. Using your Right Hand, Pull toward your Right Shoulder. As you pull with your Right Arm, notice that extending your Left Arm becomes easier as it only needs to brace against the right arm pull. Notice the increased structure of Arms and Club.
5. Use RFT and your right arm to pull the Club through the Backswing to End. Notice how easy your Left Arm remains straight.
6. Choose your Release Point where you will release the Right Arm during the Downswing. After a few trys, then at Swivel, use all of the Right Arm Thrust you can produce. The more Staight Line Deliver Path you have the better.

It is in operation from Standard Address to end of Follow-Through. In addition, this action promotes:

1. the full extension of the Left Arm at all times
2. the Take-Over of CF
3. Sequence Release by promoting the Pitch Elbow Stroke.
4. support for “passive” Clubhead Lag Pressure involving Wristcock.

Try it. Opinions welcome.

It may have been done a thousand times already, but I haven't known about it.
