For me, extensor action is difficult to take from words on a page to implementation. If I try to foucs on it by applying pressure througout the motion it adds too much tension to my hands, wrists, and motion.
I try to keep width and structure in my swing but I have to do it without tension. In other words, if my right hand were to come off the the club at the top, my right arm wouldn't immediately straighten out because I'm not apply that kind of pressure.
Similarly, I find it difficult to treat my left arm as a rope. If I try to apply that literally, it feels like I'm swinging with one arm.
I have to moderate how I apply these for best results.
May not be right on target here . . . but I'd say Extensor Action is definitely a more ridgid and "active" feeling with Hitting than with Swinging. I'm probably not the guy on this one . . . I Swing and don't really think about it all that much.
Somebody else???
As far as Swinging and the left arm being a rope . .. not a bad idea to actually take some left arm only swings so you can get the feel of loading #4. How your shoulders load #4 has a big impact on where your hands go . . . I have a problem with blasting my arm out to the right too much rather than having #4 release more DOWN my chest. Hard to recover from a bad Start Down.
