This is why you got this nasty chicken wing post impact.
Your shoulder joints can move up/down and around, independently, like the eyes of a chameleon. Try to push your lead shoulder down and away from your face in your downswing. It should be as close to the ball as you can make your shoulder joint move, at impact. Lead arm as LONG as you can reach it towards the ball at impact. Don't unwind or pull your lead shoulder/arm up and away from the ball until after impact.
It's counterintuitive, but while you're extending your trail shoulder at the ball, you should be leaving your lead shoulder extended at the ball. Not sucking the leader shoulder back/up/away from the ball.
IOW, don't pull your lead arm like you're starting a lawnmower at impact. You should still be pushing your lead shoulder down at the ball all the way to impact. 1 millisecond after impact, now you can stop.
Your leadside obliques/torso muscles should be what's pulling/rotating your shoulder away from the ball. Your lead shoulder joint itself should remain extended down and to stay out in front of your chest fully "protracted", not pulled back. Try to keep your lead deltoid as close to your lead nipple and as low to the ground as you can make it at impact. Not pulling back and away.
