is anyone here familiar with organic energy? Is this what extensor action really is?

Its the maintenance of your impact fix alignment, flying wedges, throught the stroke until both arms HAVE TO straighten beyond follow through.shootin4par said:
It is OK to add right elbow bend on the back stroke but right arm straightening should be prevented by the checkreign function of the left arm, which applies the extensor action in order to maintain the structural integrity of the flying wedges; along with a whole load of other benefits.

I am not a turtle and not familiar with the power it takes to push his head out. But I went to the restroom and had a turtle head of my own and the extensor action it took to push that thing out was quite a bitSpike said:

I am pretty new to this, but I saw a video by Paul Hart GESD that demonstrated the extensor action. He tied a rope around his left shoulder and let his left arm dangle. He substituted the rope for his left arm on the club. This governed the range that the right arm could move -- the rope was maintained straight through the backswing and past impact.
I would post the video but that would violate copyright laws.

I started taking yoga classes about a month or so ago after doing yoga on my own for 6 or so months. well in one of the classes we talked about two types of engergy, muscle energy and organic energy. muscle energy was defined as a firming of the muscles toward the bones and in toward the body which helps to align, protect, and strengthen our bodies. Organic energy is taking the inward drawn energy of muscular energy and extending it back out through the body by lengthening the bones while firming the muscles in. so is proper extensor action a pulling or tugging on the left arm or an actual pushing and extension of the bones?
we did this test and the results were pretty cool.
stand with right arm straight out and tighten muscle and try to hold arm there while someone pushes down on it. then do the same except this time, tighten the muscles while breathign in and drawing the muscles into the center of the body and when you exhale push out through your fingertips by extending your bones outward while keeping the muscle energy. when the girl I was using as my partner did this, using muscle and organic energy,when I pushed on her arm her whole body wanted to move, she was pretty solid for only beign 100 lbs. with muscle energy alone her arm moved down pretty easy.
I can also tell you WITHOUT A DOUBT, that after learning this then standing on one leg I was much more balanced and did not fall off balance in the four poses that we did afterwards, whereas before I was lucky to hold one of those poses for the duration
i just thought there might be someone on her who has looked into this kind of stuff since the golf swing is movement of the body, maybe it relates very well. so is organic energy what extensor action really is?

Shootin4par, you velly funny guy!
Yeah, that Yoga stuff is pretty cool. It is also something taught in Tai Chi, Aikido and at the higher levels of other martial arts. All have a huge effect on balance. What I find is that people have trouble with balance when their minds eye does not understand the geometry of the golf swing because of the spine angle at the address position. As we are not used to seeing things at that angle. But that's another story.
The key to the experiment you mentioned is the difference between pulling and pushing. When pushing, structure is maintained giving more power. The extensor action, in my swing, braces up the impact condition. It can be active or reactive depending on choice.
Organically speaking I suppose the extensor action is a living force. Have you tried this yoga experiment in the bathroom?
