Overhead tricep extension useless?

I've been recently notified that overhead tricep extensions are no longer effective as "they don't work your triceps that hard, and  can wreck your elbows and shoulders". While I think it is not as effective as push ups I find this move helpful especially for beginners.They can feel the tricep working as it suppose to work during this move. It will affect your shoulders and elbows negatively only if you lift weights that are too heavy for you to hold  in a proper position. So, don't ditch this move out of your workout routine. Just make sure you perform this exercise correct holding proper dumbbells.
