I was really struggling hitting balls fat and thin. When I chip and do that I always work on extensor action and it fixes the problem. Have tried applying that to full swing and it always felt too tight and mechanical. Apparently the key is to keep at it. The tight and mechanical feel slowly went away as I began to get comfortable. I was probably overdoing it a little and as I relaxed I let up on the tension just a bit. The best thing is that I feel like I can drive down through the shot so much better.

It never felt better than on my 16th yesterday. It was a 436 par 4 uphill. I smoked a tee shot down the middle which left me 187 to a back pin. The ball was a little above my feet (trouble territory when hitting shots fat), so I choked down on 4h, applied a little EA, and trusted it. Pured it high about 30' left of the pin. Down in two for a good par on a tough hole.

Ben Hogan couldn't have said it any better.

I believe way back when Lynn posted that Homer considered including extensor action as the 4th imperative.

That would be Rhythm, not Extensor Action (probably would be a fifth place finisher).
