Is there a clip of this on the site? or on the beta video to get more left arm roll. I have the same issue. Thanks

what is the cause of not enough rotation?

Your flipping the wrists most likely. It's hard to both flip the wrists AND rotate [the arms] fully as you should.

There are numerous causes for why you flip the wrists (aka clubhead throwaway)

1.) Improper weight shift. If you stop moving forward, you have to release early to hit the ball. Also, if you move too far forward, that is akin to placing the ball too far back in your stance.

2.) As noted above, faulty ball position can cause all sorts of issues.

3.) Improper sequencing. Instead of driving or leading with the lower body, you are leading with your hands. This 'early release' is a killer of many golfers. This is a tremendous loss of power.

Hogan once said something to effect that it is very hard to consciously manipulate the clubface with your hands. It's moving way too fast. Thus, I believe a good grip is paramount in allowing you to hit the inside-aft-quadrant of the ball consistently. A bad grip is going to make you manipulate your hands to make good contact.

In my experience when I get people to lead with the lower body, the arms seem to drop by themselves. The angles are retained much longer and since the weight is shifted back to where it's supposed to be, they are are able to swivel like they should.

Through impact:

Try to arch your left wrist slightly WHILE you rotate it toward the ground...through impact...

...keep turning it.....as far as it will go......

until your left thumb is UNDER THE CLUB at the FINISH.

One of the reasons, I believe, is to try/intend to create or allow the "what-was-thought" the highest clubhead speed at impact or the ball, which leads to early flipping of the hands or release/let-go of the club, rather than beyond impact.

If we are standing on a beam and losing balance to your front; in order to avoid falling to the front, our mind will then trying to shift all our weight to the back in order to balance our body. You will find that whenever you are losing balance to the front, the first part of your body movement would be your hands. Your hands will move behind your body. So Chicken Wing would be something similar.... losing balance and the body have to find a way to regain the balance.

Losing the momentum when you are "quitting"
Having a bad setup

Question
Left arm rotation is very much related to our pivot and shoulder motion? Or phyically rotating our left arm?

At the finish,should the left thumb be pointing 'behind' you, or to your left ear?
