Gregg Mchatton no up in the Backswing

Doesn't the Right Forearm Takeaway ...pull the club......hence the lagging condition of the clubhead during the lagging takeaway?

Section 4/5 – Backstroke ensures that the Right Forearm Takeaway is a Pushing Action. Note also that #18 is Top. Start Up comes before Takeaway.
14. Extensor Action
15. Start Up – Line
16. Start Up – L/R Wrist Conditions
17. Right Forearm Takeaway


Also isn't EA a separate and distinct force applied to the Left Arm and Club, a non accelerating force given that its along the line of the left arm. A stretching out of the left arm and club in line. Sorta like an artificial CF if you will. As such can't the right forearm stretch the left arm at the #1 or the the left arm and club at the #3 (less common) and accelerate the club during RFT as two distinct actions?

Yes. EA is the application of Force using Right Triceps muscle to Stretch the Left Arm. Extensor Force can be applied in different ways. With the Right Forearm Takeaway, the two middle fingers of the Right Hand simultaneously grip the Shaft and squeeze pressure on the Left Thumb.

Stretching the Left Arm through the #3 PP or tightly gripping the shaft with the #3 PP while using Extensor Force are Specialty Procedures.

Extensor Action gives an indispensable control to all Strokes. Stretching on the Left Arm through the #3 Presure Point gives the same action as pulling both ends of a rope. That is, it pulls both the Left Arm and the Clubshaft tautly in a straight line. That, and just moving from “Bent Left Wrist” to “Flat Left Wrist” during – and as – the Loading Action are very effective for Short Shot procedures (10-19-0). However, improperly executed, it can cause Clubhead Throwaway. In which case, use only #1 Pressure Point and pull on the left thumb to then hold at least the Left Arm in-line and retain Power Package structural rigidity.

This action of Extensor force can be substituted for Downstroke Acceleration of the Arms and Hands – in part or wholly – for “less than full Power” shots calling for the precision execution of a heavy, constant Hand Speed through Release and Impact. Lag Pressure then can be the artificial pressure of a tight right forefinger grip – which, actually, can serve the same function for Backstroke guidance (6-C-1).

Extensor Action: a great Homer Kelley Invention. One thing that's very clear, is that once you know, understand and use Extensor Force, you CAN'T Swing a Club any other way again. It would be like closing a bi-fold door without a track.
