I used to do this, when putting, only. The "push me pull you" version of E.A. Not sure how you resist but I did it with my left hand as opposed to the shoulder. I too have a slightly bent left arm and left hand.

But I dont any more. Not since hearing that Homer saw no use for EA with a bent left arm.

Im thinking that at issue, amongst other things, is a constant Radius. Now if you perfectly match the EA with a counter pull at the left hand, there is no issue but perhaps no point either. You've zeroed out the E.A.'s stretch of the left arm. For me it was a stretch between the two hands only. It felt like something but it was just hand tension as opposed to true EA.

Ive goofed around with a straight left arm , flat left wrist Crenshaw style so I could employ E.A. (Lynn encouraged me to try to try a flat left wrist when putting). It has a lot of benefits to it. Very much like Chip Basic, tons of structure to the flying wedges, you can get to both arms straight, its easy to isolate one arm as the power source (assuming you're Zone 2 putting) etc. But there's a lot of water under the bridge now , its hard to make a change like that.
