Extensor Action -- What Is Being Pulled Into A Straight Line?

...True extensor action down the line of the left arm can only occur when the left wrist is uncocked.
Using Pressure Point #3 (Right Hand Forefinger) to stretch the Left Arm and simultaneously pull the Clubshaft into line with it does indeed inhibit the Left Wrist Cock. However, using Pressure Point #1 (the heel of the Right Hand against the Left Hand thumb) to stretch the Left Arm only does not.

As you have noted, the Right Triceps Extensor Action -- by definition the 'steady effort to straighten the bent Right Arm' (6-B-1-D) -- does indeed prevent the elbow from "bending too quickly and/or too much."
