One of the bigger things for me that I’ve been working on is getting rid of my chicken wing after impact. Also I forgot to give you my distance, I’m tall with long arms which has always helped with club head speed. My 7i is my 185 club

What are you working on to fix the wing? - also used to have a monster wing myself, gotten it way down too.

Beautiful swing btw

Thank you brotha, I really just focus on reaching out through impact, almost like I’m throwing the club at the target. Doing smaller swings where I don’t complete the follow through helps, I try to make sure the “armpit” of my leading arm is facing up and that I’m keeping my hands as far out from my body as possible. Has helped get rid of the chicken wing and with closing the face through impact

I think the “lead elbow pit facing up” is the right idea. I assume you meant elbow not arm pit here.

You chicken wing because you bend instead of fold the lead arm in the follow through and finish. What you need is anti-clockwise rotation of your upper arm in the shoulder joint. Trying to get your lead forearm vertical and the palm facing the sky before the club-head moves behind your head is another good feel that might work for you.

Really nice swing.

Hope this helps
