Early on, when I first began to take my golf seriously, I read Nicklaus books. On his recommendations for getting as wide an arc as possible, I started stretching my left arm as far as I could on my backswing, you know, a "reach for the sky" thing. Well . . . now I fight swaying and standing up on my backswing. After a little over a year with TGM and the McDonald exercises, I am starting to work on EA to get that extension. It makes all the difference, at least in understanding what I am supposed to do, to think of it as the right arm trying to straighten rather than simply reaching for the sky. rprevost View Public Profile Send a private message to rprevost Find all posts by rprevost
