Thank you for your answer. It helps. Funny but correct handling of the roller extension pole makes painting and painter better…:)
Someone else also advised me not to do more than 2 feet in front or away from me , so there is minimum stretching, especially when doing ceiling.

Until I received your question I never put much thought to using a roller pole. I dip the roller and go. But, today I tried to pay attension to what I'm doing with the roller pole and why.
Today I rolled 8 foot walls with a 2-4 foot pole mostly extended. I noticed I grab the pole near the bottom with one hand and the other is positioned near the center. I push the paint roller up the wall with the lower hand and use gravity on the way down. I also pivot the roller with the hand near the center. The hand near the center also applies a little pressure to the roller.
I also noticed that I'm not stretching, most of the time. The rooms I painted have a lot of furniture, so I often adjusted the length of the pole to accommodate the obstacles.
Ceilings are the same basic idea. The lower hand holds the roller at the ceiling and provides a pivot point. While the other hand moved the roller pole back and forth.
