I watch myself on video and have the classic chicken wing. I have tried everything to keep that left arm straight but when I put a ball in front of me and take a full swing, there it is again. I’m so frustrated I don’t know what to try

The drill Tom posted is GREAT! Anyone can hit good shots to greens using this drill on the course. To add some info....I worked with a guy who chicken winged his left arm constantly. I didn't use Tom's drill, however, we looked at cause & effect, and the outcome was the same...he took the club outside target line on the backswing, then his right wrist "threw" the club at the ball, outside-in, on the downswing. The "throwing" motion by his right hand caused his left arm to collapse...aka chicken wing. Thus the drill with an exaggerated weight position on the left side makes perfect sense.
