Air-time

[airair]

AirAir, that sounds like another great trip.

Absolutely. And a good warm up before the big trip 2 months from now.

and : !!!???

[airair]

is it to use extensor action (as much as possible) in the basic motion shots?
Does it make the strokes flatter - which in my case probably is a good thing?

[airair]

In what way can it be a problem to confuse power with force in the golf swing?

Air,

Your question seeks a semantic nuance that will differentiate Power and Force, both as they are and as they are used -- or misused -- in the Golf Stroke. I'll avoid that question for now, but to the extent they are different, it ain't by much. In a word, both are formidable.

Meanwhile, let me opt instead to address the psychological and physiological war at work within us as we play the game:

Hitting the ball as hard as you know how is not "killing the ball"

Trying to hit it harder than that is.

I have a vague feeling of a difference between power and force in the OTT move, which seems to be using upper body force in hope of getting a powerful hit, but just messes things up in reality. (But it can probably be explained in other ways..)

In the aquired and especially the total motion - how important is it to get a full shoulder turn? Lately I have felt that my back stroke with extensor action gives me a good wind up/stretch in the left side of the back that really gives me a feeling of stretching out the side muscles in the backswing without active having to turn my shoulders. Of course they turn somewhat, but I could turn them more if I wanted to. But do I want to or need to, if it feels powerful enough as it is (as I have described)? Anybody understand what I am talking about here?

From the delivery to the followthru to hit a straight shot:

The clubhead always stays square to the rotating golfer - not the target.

Shoulder Turn:

I understand. AND - I agree.

Right Forearm Takeaway. My Hands travel as far as I make them. If they pull the shoulders, ok. If the distance the Hands travel isn't enough to turn the shoulders very much, ok.

It doesn't "feel" like the Shoulders Start to Turn until I reach an Acquired Motion Backstroke length but they start to Turn before that. The Left side stretch "feel" starts at Takeaway. My Hips start to Turn at Acquired Motion.

The Clubface always stays square to the Left and Right Flying Wedges. Somewhere, there is Truth in that.
