If your golf swing has a dreaded “chicken wing,” you’re not alone. Many golfers struggle with getting their right arm into the proper position during the backswing. Fortunately, Darren deMaille from QuickFixGolf.com has a simple solution: the Charlie Woods Elbow Drill.
What’s the Chicken Wing?
The “chicken wing” happens when your right arm doesn’t rotate properly, causing the elbow to stick out during the swing. This leads to poor contact and inconsistent shots.
How to Fix It
To use the Charlie Woods elbow drill:
- Hold your left hand behind your right elbow to keep it tucked.
- Focus on rotating your right arm during the backswing.
- Practice until you can maintain the proper position without using your left hand as a guide.
By isolating this movement, as demonstrated by pros like Adam Scott, you’ll find it easier to keep the club on plane and achieve a smoother, more powerful swing.
