Extensor Action Backstroke Drills

You are always stretching the left arm in the direction it is pointing. Hence, the 'stretch' will always be Below Plane.

In addition to the 'Armless Sleeve' Drill (which can be replicated with a piece of string looped around the left shoulder), one of the best ways to get this Feel -- without a club -- is to grasp the left wrist with the fingers of the right hand (principally the thumb and forefinger) and simply take the left arm to the Top.

Then, do the same thing gripping the thumb and forefinger of the left hand with the last three fingers of the right hand.

Finally, just grip the left thumb, and make the same motion.

With a club, seek to reproduce these same Feels (of Extensor Action and the correct Right Elbow Action), and enjoy the fruit of your labor!

P.S. V.J. Trolio and I include several Extensor Action drills in the 26 drills we demonstrate on Disk #2 of Alignment Golf. http://lynnblakegolf.com/cmps_index.php?page=proshop

This exact subject was a hotly debated topic in a prior thread. Mathew posted with his three-dimensional perceptions, and I wrote a very specific post referencing the anatomy of the hand and the 'look' of a properly Cocked Left Wrist (visualize what it looks like with a hammer, and you've got it).

I can't research it now, but trust me, it's in the post-2005 archives. My guess is early 2008 (or possibly late 2007).

I believe this may be the thread to which Yoda was referring, for those who are interested http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=3297

I know there are others. I think this may be one but all the videos are removed. http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ighlight=video

"Buried Treasure". Ain't that the truth. This forum truly is a gold mine. Often times, that is why I am reluctant to post.....I know the answer is probably somewhere on this site. Just need to dig.
