Really get a "wide" feeling via Extensor Action as you are coming down. It'll feel like the club is way out in front of you.
Great post Matt..... the importance, and benefits of, extensor action should never be underestimated.

Just like hitting 'down' (you either KNOW you did, or you didn't) either KNOW that you have maintained your extensor action through the ball, or you didn't do it.....

How do you know? - You KNOW your wedges are in place and you don't have to 'do' anything to keep them in place

Absolutely agree on the 'feeling the club out in front of you' through to both arms straight - like you 'serve it up' with the extension of the right arm and rotation 'happens'

timing/tempo/rhythm/plane - the flying wedges - are SO much easier to get right with proper extensor action it is almost like cheating
