🔵Flying Lead Elbow🔵 #golfswing

David Atkins Golf Coaching demonstrates a quick single-handed drill to fix a 'chicken wing' or flying lead elbow in the follow-through. By hugging your chest with your trail arm and making one-handed pitches, you learn how the lead arm should naturally fold past impact to improve contact and face control.

• A flying lead elbow (chicken wing) causes inconsistent strikes and an open club face.
• Hug your chest with your trail arm and hit short shots using only your lead arm.
• Focus on feeling the lead elbow naturally bend and fold upward on the follow-through.
• Alternate between one-handed practice swings and standard two-handed swings to embed the proper sensation.
