Chicken wing

Chicken wing is one of the classic downswing problems where the lead arm bends and the elbows separate through impact and follow-through, usually from a arm driven release and poor arm–body connection. That robs width, face control, and speed. These videos coach the lead and trail arms, supported supination, and a longer unhinge to create a square, powerful release.

  • Pin the lead shoulder, build arm connection, and support supination for a squarer, stable face.
  • Tame trail arm: block the throw, elbow fold down, trail arm line—better sequencing and width.
  • Drill it: L‑to‑L, 9‑to‑3, Touch the Net, Band Presses, Sponge—cleaner contact, compressed divots, longer, straighter shots.
