Luke is right.

Extensor Action -- stretching the Left Arm via the Heel of the Right Hand against the Left Hand thumb -- is indeed present in Adjusted Address (8-3). However, the reason the Mechanical Checklist (12-3) does not stress Extensor Action in that Section (of the Stroke) is that such Action ultimately will Flatten the Swinger's Bent Left Wrist. In which case, with the Left Wrist no longer Bent, Adjusted Address (10-9-A) will have become an Impact Address (10-9-B).

And you cannot be in both at the same time.

So, there you go:

Easy on the Extensor Action in Adjusted Address, boys. But 'let'er rip' in Start Up, because that Bent Left Wrist has got to get Flat...

No later than the Start Down!

And all the people said, "AMEN, AMEN, and AMEN."
