How's it going man? Your posts are in the proverbial ZONE. I'm the short red headed goofy dude from NC that came to the Swamp during the nice weather we had before it got cold . . . Rich. I don't know if you can remember much about my swing, but you did some video analysis after giving me a hitting demo. You must be an ANGRY man because you absolutely murdered Mr. Whitey that day. Guys the distances Ted put out there for his irons and woods are legit. He's spooky long. I felt the earth shake under my feet.
Anyway . . .
I noticed on my video from the Swamp session, that I seem to keep my left arm straight an inordinately long time. The left arm looked straight and firm even to shoulder high. This move seemed to pull my head into a goofy position sort of like laying the side of my head on a pillow.
Is there a problem with this other than looking "ungolf-like?" I hit the ball pretty low typically so should I let the left elbow fold more?
Thanks for the help!
All the best!

I'm glad to hear from you. You really looked great when I saw you at my place. Extensor action is the only reason that the left arm stays straight. If you're doing anything muscularly with the left arm, it could give you some kind of false feel through impact (blocking action feel).
Thanks man! Do you still employ extensor action well past follow-through? I've always fought the lefties, so I figured that subconsciously it was an anti-left move I had ingrained.
I have extensor action until finish, where the right elbow finally regains its bend.
