Let it happen! Do you? Should you? Can you?

Is this a consequence of maintaining extensor action or does it have to do with the left shoulder climbing after impact? Other ideas?
I believe it's about the fast/powerful pivot rotation (the "cause" or "intent"), which generates "the force of my swing pulling it (the left arm) straight" or whatever supposed to happen or feel (the "effect"). He just happens to feel the left arm.

"if I focused on forcing my left arm to straighten (the wrong "intent" or replacing the "cause" with "effect") I'd be in trouble (the wrong "effect")." Or the "effect" can't be generated by executing an "effect".

What else do you want to do, except "just being relaxed and letting it happen""?

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
