There is no "ONE" reason a person will chicken wing and anyone who thinks it shows there inexperience. As you state  you must educate the arms and hands how to act then blend with a proper pivot. A slow pivot alone does not cause a chicken wing in all cases and stating such is rediculous. Please stop just repeating what you've read I.E. golfmachine and think/learn from experience. Educated hands almost always will pull if the pivot is slow...agreed.

or u can put a headcover under ur armpit , that works..

I like the head cover drill too. Good comments....keep them coming.

i agree that you could view the arm as blocking the body but we arm using the body as guide so the elbow doesn't pull back and up. If you turn your body through there won't be any blocking. Davis Love Sr. used this drill alot and I've found it to be "a way" not "the way" as there is no one way to fix the wing. This is the art of golf instruction, you must have many ways of fixing one problem. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Jon,

Best explanation for the cause of the CW and how to prevent it. The CW has hurt my game for the last year, especially with the driver. I was still hitting a 7i 150 with excellent accuracy with the wing. With this info I expect to pick up some big yards with my driver this year. I'm in CT and hope to stop by for a lesson this year.

Can you post a video on the impact postion?

I have been working on trying to "bow" (back of lt. wrist pointing at the ground) at impact.

Thank you!!!!

Thanks for the tip. I was going crazy not being able to fix the cut I was hitting. After doing this drill it's pretty much effortless to hit a good low pentrating draw. Luv it. Thanks again.

More problems to a problem. (so where is the extension?) The cause of a chicken wings is due to lack of extension, the lack of extension is cause by a slow pivot, a slow pivot is cause by lack of educated hands. The educated hand for swinger should be constantly pulling - particularly from impact ot follow through. Learn to drag (or pull the club from the kinetic Chain), and the more pulling force with a trained pivot will help you to extend your arm at follow through.

good posture with proper rotation is the key.

The true solution is to use less arms and more hip and chest rotation. When you get your chest turn, you won't get chickenwing because now your left arm is in front of your chest. You can accelerate through the ball and get good extension with both arms for power.
