My efforts at keeping the left wrist flat and extensor action combined with my intensity always made it difficult to swing without excessive tension. That as a result kept me from experiencing "throw out". I ended up with a corrupted CF swinging procedure with hitting and steering elements. Therefore I had trouble releasing and getting to a full finish. Greg believes the arms just hang and if he lifts your arms up at address and it pulls your thorax and head up he feels you have to much tension. I think that is a good concept. However extensor action is mentioned so often it is essential to a good procedure. For me I have to guard against to much EA and rigidity.

It is true that Extensor Action can be exaggerated into an immobilizing fault. However, that does not obviate its purpose; namely, to provide a "structural rigidity" that is a strong deterrent to collapse under the stresses created by a powerful golf stroke, especially at the Top and through Impact.

To achieve maximum Zone 2 Power, the Arms (and with them the Club) must swing freely from the Shoulders (and not be bound to and drug around by them). Also, the Wrists must remain flexible to perform their Release functions (Uncock and Roll). However, that does not mean that the Power Package Structure (which these Components and their Loading collectively comprise) should be "loose" or, worse yet, "flimsy". Or that the Hands should be robbed of the firm Grip necessary to control Clubface alignments.

Just as there are good and bad cholesterols, so are there good and bad tensions in the Golf Stroke. Differentiating the two distills the champion.
