Michael Kanev demonstrates the Head Cover Drill to eliminate the 'chicken wing' and fix disconnection in the golf swing. By pinning a driver cover under the lead armpit, golfers are forced to stop overusing their arms and instead rely on proper body rotation to move the club.

• Place a driver head cover under your left armpit to stay connected during the swing.
• If the head cover falls out, it indicates a 'chicken wing' or that the arms have disconnected from the body rotation.
• A proper swing with this drill will feel like your arms aren't moving much; this is because your body is doing the work.
• Focus on rotating the torso to maintain the pressure required to hold the head cover in place.
