yoda,

this is basically the same question that i just posted to you in another thread.

what is the difference between extensor action and firing the right elbow?

you describe the firing of the right elbow to be done only when the hands are at a point almost in line with the eyes and the ball, yet in this thread you mention that extensor action is applied throughout the swing, and especially at the top to get rid of the left shoulder "wobble".
isn't firing the right elbow and extensor action the same thing?

thanks, mike.

To the extent that they both result in the proper both arms straight position yes, however 6b1d is a constant move 'away from center', which simplifies rhythm greatly - it simplifies the entire swing.


right arm thrust alone would be a move that would need 'timing', extensor action does not - that is the beauty of it, among other benefits.
