00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
This concept video, we're going to connect arm shallowing to the chicken wing.

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So there's one of the more common patterns that emitters hate seeing on the way through

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
is the chicken wing.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
When the arms are bending and coming in kind of more like this, there are a number of

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
different causes that can be from lack of body rotation.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
It can be one of the ways that you're squaring the club face.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Like common pattern or one common pattern is that it's a way to shallow out the club

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
late or pull the low point away from the ground if you're coming in from a steep arm position.

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,000
So in general, a steeper arm position would be the club working in more of a vertical

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
fashion like this.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Now it could be coming from the inside.

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
It doesn't have to be coming from the outside.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
That depends more on my body orientation.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
So I don't want you to just think steep is outside shallow is inside.

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
It has to do more with this verticality and narrowness.

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So here I'll be steep but from the inside and from this position, you'll see that

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
in order to not slam the club into the ground really hard, I'm going to have to pull away.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Whether that's from early extension of my body or from bending the arms, I'm going to have

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
to pull to prevent the club from slamming into the ground.

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Where if I had this in more of a horizontal pattern, so if it was working more around

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000
my body like this and I slowly bent down, you'll see that this gets to a point where

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
it's just giving the ground for a long period of time.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
That's part of how we're able to create this consistency or flat spot.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:50,000
So if the club is working more around my body kind of like so, then just it will make it

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
easier for me to get chaffling, which is a steepener, hard to create steep when you're

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
already too steep.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
And it will allow me to continue rotating my body because that's also a steepener.

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So what I've seen kind of clinically with my students is that getting the arms into more

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000
of a shallow position tends to free up a number of things and it tends to contribute to

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
getting more arm extension in the follow-through.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
So we're taking away the chicken wing.

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000
So if you're looking at your swing and you're struggling with the arms bending and really

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
pulling in here in the follow-through, then double check that down the line arm shallow

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
check point to make sure that you have a steepen things too much in transition.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,000
If you have, then it's unlikely you're going to really change that chicken wing pattern

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
unless you address the arm shallowness at least a little bit.

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000
If there are some people who are a little bit more vertical and they don't check

00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,000
in wing and what they'll do is they'll have more of a well-timed kind of reverse.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Thrust away from the golf ball with the body and kind of a feel of that throw of the arms.

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
That is one way to solve the puzzle, but in my experience it tends to break down a little

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
bit more and be more timing dependent.

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,000
So if you're capable, I would look at some of the arm shallowing drills in order to get

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000
more comfortable in getting into a delivery position kind of more like this.

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Then you won't really have to time so much the release.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
You just have to stay in your position as you let the arms extend in order to get the club

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
down toward the ground.

00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,000
So again, if you're struggling with your follow-through, always look at the transition or the

00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
downswing.

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
If you're struggling with the downswing, you might want to look at the follow-through.

00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Those two match each other and one common pattern is the steep arms in transition will

00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
often cause a chicken wing in the follow-through.
