Where am I?
Where am I? what am I doing here? (paraphrase Stockton")

In the LOUNGE. Talking on about something that started with RELEASE SWIVEL. Went to roll through impact. Then follow through/finish swivel. Then elbow plane not allowing EA then EA required for swivel. I stuck a "Huh" in there couple of times. I will withdraw my Huh's because I think I understand what I think I understand if that will help you end this thread. OK

Nah go ahead Bear. What were you going to say about Hogan?

Saturday is a long way off and after we read D's post we're all gonna find golf so freaking easy that we may never surf the net for golf stuff again.

Was just going to mention how EA is really just Charles Atlas's Dynamic Tension. Master it and in 30 days no golfer will ever kick sand in your face again.

Only if you pull back with the Left Arm is it Dynamic Tension. Do you do that?

If you tied a rope around your left shoulder and applied EA, do you still call it Dynamic Tension? just curious

I would call my "Putting" with EA dynamic tension because I hold back against EA with my slightly bent left arm.

I suppose during the down-stroke of a full stroke a little bit of that is also occurring.

you feel that slightly arch left wrist is best position to come in towards impact for a horizontal hinge swivel.
Then how does the right arm contribute. or does the right arm contribute at all during the impact zone?

I used to do this, when putting, only. The "push me pull you" version of E.A. Not sure how you resist but I did it with my left hand as opposed to the shoulder. I too have a slightly bent left arm and left hand.

But I dont any more. Not since hearing that Homer saw no use for EA with a bent left arm.

Im thinking that at issue, amongst other things, is a constant Radius. Now if you perfectly match the EA with a counter pull at the left hand, there is no issue but perhaps no point either. You've zeroed out the E.A.'s stretch of the left arm. For me it was a stretch between the two hands only. It felt like something but it was just hand tension as opposed to true EA.

Ive goofed around with a straight left arm , flat left wrist Crenshaw style so I could employ E.A. (Lynn encouraged me to try to try a flat left wrist when putting). It has a lot of benefits to it. Very much like Chip Basic, tons of structure to the flying wedges, you can get to both arms straight, its easy to isolate one arm as the power source (assuming you're Zone 2 putting) etc. But there's a lot of water under the bridge now , its hard to make a change like that.
