Delivering the club head through impact straight and efficiently during the golf swing can be difficult when your arms are working against you.

This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek demonstrates a tip to help get rid of the dreaded ‘chicken wing’ in the golf swing. This forces the golfer to flip the golf club through impact with inconsistent results.

Oftentimes, this causes the golfer to top the ball and deliver the club too early  or late.

This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek and Kent St. Charles from Lab 18 demonstrate how creating lag does not come from throwing the club over the top, but the angle of the club shaft and lead arm can create it.
