The Release That Changes Everything

Giles Gill demonstrates a 40-second technique to eliminate the 'chicken wing' by focusing on lead arm rotation. By transitioning from internal to external rotation of the lead arm, golfers can square the clubface more efficiently and improve shaft lean at impact.

• The 'chicken wing' is often a compensation for an open clubface caused by internal lead arm rotation.
• Rotating the lead arm externally ensures the elbow pit points toward the sky in the follow-through.
• Squaring the clubface through arm rotation instead of flipping leads to better shaft lean and more consistent contact.
