Chicken-Wing Fix — Reach & Release

What it fixes: Stop the bent lead arm at impact — extend for width and a square face.

How to do it

1. Make swings feeling BOTH arms reach long down the target line just past the ball
2. Let the club then fold up over your lead shoulder — wide first, then release
3. On chips, tuck a glove under your lead arm to feel connection, then lengthen the swing
4. Hit balls feeling the toe release over the heel through a long extension

Pro tip: Feel: 'reach for right-field' just past impact — arms extend wide before the club folds, instead of the lead elbow pulling in.

Watch it in your data

This drill moves Strike / face — track it session to session with the Face Angle guide open. A drill without a measured before/after is a feeling, not a fix: hit a baseline block, do the drill, re-measure the same block.
