How to Fix the Chicken Wing Golf Swing
Learn a 3-step drill to eliminate the chicken wing swing for better consistency and power.
-
1
Set Up Alignment Stick
Place an alignment stick vertically on the target line in front of you. This will serve as a guide to help you maintain proper arm extension during your swing.
-
2
Make Swings to the Right
Practice making swings while ensuring that your trail arm misses the alignment stick to the right side, which is the target side. This encourages proper arm extension through impact.
-
3
Check Arm Extension
After each swing, check to ensure that both your lead arm and trail arm are fully extended through the finish position. This is crucial for correcting the chicken wing issue.
-
4
Hold Your Finish Position
At the end of your swing, hold your finish position for a moment. This will help you confirm that you have achieved the correct arm extension and width necessary for a proper follow-through.
