bagger, you don't need to respond to my above post. i've read a post of your's under the thread title of "any swingers left- snap release" you did a very good job of answering this very question over in that thread.
i guess the answer is for me to slow the swing down enough to determine how much extensor action can or should be applied which will not overcome the CF. i guess like anything else it will get easier over time and with practise, but it's hard to apply any extensor action at all right now without feeling like i'm casting the club, and exerting a "straightening force" on the shaft. in my very amateur TGM opinion, i think part of this feeling is due to not allowing the left forearm and hand to freely roll through and past impact. i think that i still slightly try to keep the clubface square to the target line through impact, and "steer" the ball to the target. this alone probably causes, or at least gives me the feeling that i am casting early while applying any amount of extensor action.
.................or, it's quite possible that i really don't have a clue what i'm talking about
