The “chicken wing” is a power killer! A big plate of chicken wings should satisfy you, after a round of golf. But having a “chicken wing” in your lead arm, at impact, is no bueno! Extension is the key! In order to avoid any collapse in the lead arm at impact (a bent lead arm that looks like a chicken’s wing), first reach for the ball at address. Back up and extend your arms more than usual, before you start your swing. Next, keep your lead arm straight throughout the backswing, at the top of your swing and definitely coming down. Then, at impact, feel yourself reaching forward with a fully extended lead arm position, in order to be athletic and avoid the ”chicken wing.”
