Kellie Stenzel outlines five technical adjustments for correcting the chicken wing
Summary

Golf Top 100 Teacher Kellie Stenzel is providing technical instruction to help golfers address the common swing fault known as the chicken wing. This flaw occurs when the lead elbow collapses and moves away from the body during the follow-through, often resulting in inconsistent contact and a loss of power. Stenzel details five specific keys for students to implement to improve their arm mechanics and maintain a more stable impact position. These drills aim to foster better rotation and prevent the premature bending of the arm that characterizes the movement. Addressing this issue can lead to a more balanced and effective golf swing for players of varying skill levels. The instruction is available through Golf.com for those looking to refine their technique.
