Chicken winging through impact, or bending your left arm (if you’re a right handed player), is an extremely common issue for golfers and causes thin strikes, low shot flights and issues with directional control. It’s a product of not quite synchronising your body’s rotational speed with the club head’s movement around you, but after watching this video and trying the swing drill/tip given to you by Natalie Adams of Smash Factor golf coaching, you should really experience an improvement in your body and arm release through impact and see you golf shots massively improve.

Another very common swing issue for many golfers is a flying right elbow. This occurs when the right elbow makes more of a pull back behind the body motion, resulting in your right shoulder not rotating in the best possible way. This causes a few issues with the position achieved at the top of the back swing, as the club face will become open and also you will tend to see a steep backswing and downswing, making it hard to produce consistency with the swing and making it difficult to strike powerful, straight golf shots. In this golf tip video, Natalie Adams of Smash Factor golf coaching talks you through two very simple drills to achieve a better right shoulder rotation during your backswing and an improved position at the top.

Early extension is one of the top swing “faults” (I prefer the term issue over fault) that golfers struggle with. It causes you to lose your posture and makes it very difficult to control the club face through impact, leading to a 2 way miss – either blocking the golf ball out to the right, or missing to the left with a big hook (for right handed golfers). So in this video golf tip, Natalie Adams from Smash Factor golf coaching shows you a great drill to get the lead side of your pelvis moving better, which will help you to improve the rotational movement in your pelvis during your downswing and through impact.

Where the toe of the golf club should be halfway back on your backswing will influence your position at the top of the back swing and therefore your impact position. If you aren’t hitting golf shots you are happy with, missing the target to the left or to the right, then altering your club face position in the correct way and so where the toe of the golf club is half way back on the the back swing, will help you become much more accurate with your golf shots.
