In this golf instruction video, CK Golf breaks down how a chicken wing lead arm at post-impact damages power, control, and contact. The lesson focuses on achieving proper lead arm extension and body rotation through impact into the follow-through.
A chicken wing occurs when the lead elbow bends outward through and after impact.
Proper body rotation allows the lead arm to extend naturally past impact without collapsing.
Maintaining extension into the follow-through increases clubhead speed and improves shot consistency.
