Put something down to help with alignment, your lower body is closed at address and the club face is open. On your backswing, you don’t load your weight into your right thigh so this causes you to hang on your left side. The chicken wing comes from improper swing mechanics which can be caused by improper alignment. ▶ this video ▶ this video

I’ve only been taught by YouTube so I don’t really know why haha that’s just what I got from some videos. 5:20 in this one specifically. ▶ this video My thought away was staying more closed through impact should give me more time to release the club?
