this is my first post. though i have been learning a lot from all on this site. thanks Lynn and to all that contribute.
my question is on extensor action. when i try to focus on EA it always seems to build tension into my game and i swing worse.
does this happen for anyone else, and how can i use EA without adding any extra tension into my swing?

When done ea should actually relieve tension it is only keeping the structure at its natural length the left arm should not be locked straight the length and bend of your left arm as it hangs naturally is the length it should be at at all times. Try this grip the club at setup and with soft arms bring the club in towards u now stretch the left arm to its natural length the club down to the ball you'll notice this in a lot of pros routines the arms shpuld be completely soft the right tricep exerting a very small amiunt of pressure in tgw direction of the left arm below plane do this drill at setup u will be tension free with structure
