hackster,
Yes, Extensor Action would be the way to go!
First, practice the rope drill posted earlier in this section. Attach a rope around your left shoulder. Notice how the action of the on plane right arm keeps the rope gently stretched.
Then, starting with short chips, and pitches... work on this same feel, but with your left arm. Gently stretch the rope like left arm by exerting some pressure on the #1 pressure point(right lifeline)by slightly pulling on the left thumb to stretch the left arm(6-B-1-D). You should also feel some pressure on the #3 pressure point(first joint of the right index finger). Keep this same extension pressure back and down. Be aware of the downswing extension, so as to not have downswing blackout.
