Redeeming the Flim-flam
This is what I am attempting to reconcile (why is a mystery to me also!) Nicklaus no doubt employed extensor action, right? Using TGM as The Lexicon, how can we better understand their individual feel descriptions. Now that I have a basic grasp of extensor action I better understand Nicklaus' description. Looking at his flying wedges, especially at end suggests great structure...without EA there is no air in the hose...lead in the pencil...jam in the donut...etc. I thought Joe Norwood may have understood EA. It seems that he believed that you had to train the left arm to extend itself, but he did understand the importance of maintaining The Radius i.e. max extension. The genius of EA is that the left arm is extended as opposed to the left arm extending! I believe EA is just one of the things when properly applied can produce IMMEDIATE results as opposed to "giving it 6 months." This is one of the things that sets TGM apart.
