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

Sorry about that - the feet point might not carry the same weight as when I thought it was a hybrid. Something I do notice is a bit of a chicken wing/maybe a scoop in the bottom of the swing to the first position in the follow through. At the risk that my phone screen is tricking me again, maybe have a watch of this and see if you think it'd help with impact to follow through: ▶ this video I use the chest exercise …

Big old chicken wing in the follow through. Instead of letting that left elbow bend through impact, you want to feel the arm rotating instead. If you hold your left arm out palm down and then rotate it counter-clockwise so it's palm up. That's what you want to feel through impact: ▶ this video ▶ this video
