Back tension is defined as the contraction of the drawing side rhomboid and levator scapulae muscles, which causes the scapula (shoulder blade) to slide and rotate toward the spine
In layman's terms, use your back muscles to rotate your shoulder blade closer toward your spine. This action will also move the shoulder, drawing arm and hand enough to activate a release aid.

The more hand there is on the bow, the more the problems that can occur
The statement is self-explanatory

Are you known as "Punchy the Clown"?
I probably shoulda said "consciously" in my statement, as at the release, my release hand moves backward slightly...
But it happens automatically, probably more of a result of pulling into the wall.

You bet! It's loaded with great info and has helped me out alot with target and 3D shooting.
I searched on there for the guy who put it together and found it was Bill Pisechko. Hope he doesn't mind me pluging his link here.

Black Frog:
The statement did not apply to just a grip. The statement is a play (joke) on various versions of how well a bow does before someone picks it up and tries to shoot it.
"My arrows are perfectly straight. Why don't they fly straight when I shoot them?"
