Prevent Chicken Wing: Improve Elbow Separation in Your Swing
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Identify when your elbows are bending during your swing
- Use auditory feedback to train better arm extension
- Enhance your spatial awareness for improved swing mechanics
In this quick drill, you'll learn how to monitor your elbow position using a bootleg Sami and a rubber band. This feedback mechanism will help you feel the difference between proper extension and bending in your arms during the swing.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.820
This drill is monitoring the elbows with the bootleg Sami.
2
00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:08.830
So I've got my bootleg Sami and I've got a larger rubber band so that I can
3
00:00:08.830 --> 00:00:09.480
slide the
4
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:15.460
rubber band all the way up around just above my elbow kind of like this.
5
00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:22.020
And then I'm going to attach it to the outside edge of my sleeve, if I can.
6
00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:25.470
Usually I do this part first so I'm not tethered to the actual rubber band,
7
00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:26.860
there we go.
8
00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:35.040
Alright, so now I've got a feedback mechanism that's going to let me feel if
9
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:36.280
the arms bend
10
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:41.920
I'm going to hear it, if the arms get closer I'm not going to hear it.
11
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.810
So this allows me, if I'm working on more of a chicken wing or trying to get
12
00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:48.680
those arms
13
00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:52.380
to extend all the way through, but I'm just not really aware of what's going on
14
00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:52.660
.
15
00:00:52.660 --> 00:00:59.170
This gives me a great feedback mechanism for feeling the difference between
16
00:00:59.170 --> 00:01:00.820
those and hearing
17
00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:01.820
the difference between those.
18
00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:05.620
Hopefully you can pick it up on the microphone.
19
00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:08.220
So I like this little spatial awareness tool.
20
00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:11.940
I've got a number of different ways that I use it.
21
00:01:11.940 --> 00:01:16.640
This is a simple one for monitoring the elbows and I actually prefer it to, say
22
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:17.500
, squeezing
23
00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:21.940
a ball, squeezing a balloon because of the auditory component.
24
00:01:21.940 --> 00:01:24.380
I think it makes it easier for you to then train the movement.
