At no time have they been advised to keep their left arm straight, nor are they attempting to do so. So why is their left arm so straight? It is because they are swinging the club back with their right arm. And that right arm is stretching the left in the process. It's the same motion we make when we wind up to throw a ball. This is not hard. This is a very natural thing to do. Put your mind in your Right Forearm, keep your Head stationary, wind up and let it happen. I've been doing this straight left arm thing my whole golfing life (since I was 8 ), about 30 years, but don't remember anyone explaining extensor action this way. For the last 18 months I've read everything on all the TGM forums. Even my own AI hasn't described it this way. I could use a book called "TGM for Dummies" simple easy common sense explainations for "Dummies" like me. A little off topic, but there is a book called "The Message" - modern day translation of the Bible, using everyday conversational speech. I'm told it is selling like hotcakes! wolfman View Public Profile Send a private message to wolfman Find all posts by wolfman
