Flying Wedges - Extensor Action

[KevCarter]

Kevin,

I did a search on extensor action with posts made by Yoda. Start with the last page, you will find posts from the archives. I did not have time to go through all, past bedtime over here...

Thanks again,
Kevin

Whenever Extensor action is explained, just like on the Alignment Golf DVDs, it is mentioned that the extensor action is not on the plane, but rather under the plane. I see that, and believe I understand it visually.

My question is, what is the significance of the extensor action happening under the plane rather than on the plane as it relates to the golf swing?

Thank you,
Kevin

If you apply EA on plane of clubshaft at address, you will unintentionally zero out acc. 3 on your backswing???

NO. you zero out with having the shaft in the V (palm) of the left hand, therefore having the left arm and shaft in line.

EA is applied underplane when there is an non-zero accumulator 3 condition. it is a pull (tug) in the direction your left arm is pointing at setup. hope this helps, cheers.

Can Extensor Action be applied incorrectly in a manner that would be detrimental to the swing?

Thanks guys,

Yes. Could lead to incompatible loading (i.e. drive loading) if overdone.

I can feel how that could happen. Thanks for the help HMSmai!

With the club gripped under the heal pad of the left hand, the left arm is not on plane. Therefore EA which is inline with the left arm, is not on plane. Its that simple.

Stick with it. I think it is the procedure that brings to life or allows much of what is discussed around here. The hands as clamps, the right elbow bend cocking the left wrist, the on plane move of the right shoulder etc etc .
