On my follow thru my arms are not straight but rather they are flexed at the elbow. I think this is called chicken wing. How do I fix it. My hands are leading the club thru impact but my arms are flexed. What drills to fix. Thanks Frank

@frankpreshern - How is your downswing path? Is it working properly from in to out? If so, then it may simply be that you are not extending your spine through impact, and your arms are collapsing out of subconscious fear of slamming the club into the ground. Your belt buckle should rise up several inches through the zone, and that will give your arms plenty of room. The KFC episode referenced by @Rudi (from Munich) is a good one.
If, on the other hand, your path is steep and across the ball, then we'll first need to resolve that in order to work towards eliminating the chicken wing. If possible take some video of your swing to verify the path, and if you see some steepness then you may wish to consider the 90% Weight Forward/Arms Straight Drill for starters.
Beyond that, you can always submit your swing video for a V1 Analysis lesson so I can put my eyes on your swing and offer very specific observations and a corrective action plan.
