wouldn't this extensor action be a slight pushing or thrusting with the right arm?
i find this a little confusing. a hitter's motion is to apply pressure to the base of the left thumb, by driving or thrusting the straightening right arm into the ball. in my thinking, extensor action in swinging is this same motion, albeit with much less force.
shouldn't CF take care of keeping the left arm straight while swinging? if i apply extensor action while swinging, i'm not really allowing the right arm to just "go along for the ride" am I ?

This is a good topic!
yekim79 has some good questions. I'm pretty sure there was considerable discussion on this in a thread dealing with Extensor Action. I believe Mizuno Joe has a similar opinion concerning Extensor Action and Pure Swinging.
In Swinging the Right Elbow should stay inactive. I believe that Swingers are usually feeling, thinking about, or monitoring the LEFT HAND or LEFT WRIST. If a SWINGER is employing EXTENSOR ACTION in such a way as to activate the RIGHT ELBOW(6-H-O and 7-20) problems with SWINGING may occur.
I also think Bagger has made some very good posts in this section. With SWINGING, on the downswing, centrifugal force will automatically do many good things, if they are allowed to happen.
