lean the feel WITHOUT A CLUB.

Take an imaginary grip and make sure that left left is in the cup of the right hand grip.

Now simply pull that left thumb with your "cup" in your hand hand to the top or the end depending if you are hitting or swinging.

See the EdZ drills in the drills section - use that right hand to 'push away' from center - on PP#1 - the base of our right hand against the base of the left thumb.


One of the best images is from Ben Doyle - like you were pulling on a sweater sleeve - a gentle pull.

I know it is confusing. It is using the right arm with the #1 and #3pp's to pull(stretch the left arm). Remember this stretch is always below plane.

It is not a pull up. Try to pull the club out of your left hand with your right hand, below plane.

Homer Kelley 6-B-1-D"Stretching the left arm through the #3pp gives the same action as pulling on both ends of a rope. That is, it pulls both the Left Arm and the clubshaft tautly in a straight line."...."However improperly executed, it can cause Clubhead Throwaway. In which case, use only #1 pp and pull on the left thumb to then hold at lease the Left arm in-line and retain Power Package structural rigidity"

I agree Ben's drill with the jacket is great. Put on a jacket without putting your arm in the left sleeve. Grab the end of the sleeve with your right thumb and index finger. Stretch the sleeve with your right arm until it is taut. Now take that taut sleeve to the top and then back to both arms straight at follow through and keep repeating. Good Luck.

Forever Hitting,
Hunter

The direction of the stretch is always toward the clubhead.
rwh,

This statement is correct only with zero Accumulator #3. Per 6-B-1-D first paragraph "Except with Zero Accumulator #3 the "stretch" direction is always Below Plane.

Hunter,

Also be aware that the Extensor Action used by most people here is the "compromised" version that Homer refers to in the 2nd paragraph of 6-B-1-D. In it's prefered form, it is done with PP #3, not PP #1.

How can PP3 be used unless there is zero #3 Accumulator? If the #3 pressure point is 'on plane', yet the stretch is 'below plane'?

The stretch is 'below plane' because it is pulling the left arm. The left arm sets up on a 'steeper' plane than the sweetspot, so when you pull on the left arm you are pulling it 'below plane.'
