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.
Oh my this strikes right to the heart of what I have learned from Lynn and Ted. I nominate this for immediate inclusion in the best of Lynn Blake.
Wow. I had my tensions backwards (don't wanna get into it) I could shoot in the sixties like that...... But now I am forever changed. I no longer play unless it's warmer than 70 degrees. But seriously now folks. ........ For those who have ears ....... Let them listen
