With the Peak Performance Golf Swing, the arms swing around the sternum because of the limited turn that we make. That means the sternum, not your forward shoulder, is the center of the swing.
If you've ever thought about skipping your backswing and just starting your swing from the top, you're not alone. Steve Ruis sent in an interesting question about the possibility of cutting out the backswing all together. He equated the idea to how a baseball player starts a swing with the bat... more
Your wrists play an important role in your golf swing and you've most likely heard me say that good wrist action is no wrist action. However, I see a lot of students that tend to bow or break their wrists near the top of their swing.
After Inbee Park won the Kraft Nabisco Championship last month, I got a few emails from Surgites asking if she was using the Peak Performance Golf Swing on her way to victory in the year's first major.
One of the key elements of the Peak Performance Golf Swing is how we finish the swing. After swinging up to a solid T-finish position, the next step in the swing is to recoil and relax. This enables you to maintain balance and always finish with your body pointed at the target.

I'm really excited to share today's question with the Surge Nation because it's one that I don't think I've ever had in the thousands of daily videos I've recorded over the last few years. It has to do with the relationship between the Peak Performance Golf Swing and ball flight.
I recently received a nicely written message from Don Klein commending the Peak Performance Golf Swing. Of course it's always nice to hear that golfers are playing pain-free golf and having positive results, but the reason I wanted to share the message with the Surge Nation isn't just because it... more

With two PGA TOUR tournaments taking place this weekend, you've got plenty of options to watch the best players in the world play golf. DJ's currently playing some good golf at the Puerto Rico Open, which is great to see since he's been swinging so well lately.
Depending on where you live and what time of day you like to play, cold weather is something a lot of us have to deal with when playing golf. This is especially true during what I would call the "off season." Those who live in year-round golf conditions such as Florida still have to deal with... more

But, sometimes I'll get some criticism as well. A few weeks ago, I published a daily titled, PPGS & The Vertical Position... more
We all want to hit the ball farther. Whether it's to keep up with your friends or your kids, being able to hit the ball with more power is a common desire. Rotational swingers do this by turning even more than they already do. Just the thought of turning that much makes my back hurt!
