The Peak Performance Golf Swing is the only body friendly golf swing being taught today. That declaration is not based on opinion, it's based on scientific fact. Today, I want to give you a little background on the evolution of the PPGS and why I know it's the best way to play golf.
I also chose this topic today because Greg Boggs has never played golf and is wondering if the PPGS is the way to go. So, I'm going to review the swing for anyone looking for a detailed explanation of how it works!

body friendly golf
Four years ago i had a major problem with my back and took a series of shots to the spine. The shots plus changing to the "surge" swing did the trick and I have been free from back pain for 4 years.
However, swinging the arms faster to get more distance can and does put a lot of stress on the rotator cuff of both shoulders.The pain is not as debilitating as back pain but it is bothersome. Any ideas.
Easier On The Back, but....
Correct on the shoulder pain comment. A vertical lift, for specific shoulder injuries, is a concern. I have finally recovered from repetitive motion injury to my shoulder that was caused by.... a repeating vertical motion at my work place. When I lifted truly vertically, it would hurt like crazy.
With PPGS, I allow my swing to be slightly laid off, limit the lift, and the problem is managed. But...the "swinging arms faster" solution, does carry with it (for some) the potential for stress or injury. Correct call, lorenz.
BTW- the best money I ever invested was hiring a knowledgeable personal fitness instructor. Glad to say I can swing my arms faster, if I wish, and visit the links with very little pain. Heck, if I can spend a couple hundred to get my car fixed, why not on myself?
Shoulders are tricky business. 2 thoughts : a consulatation from a good orthopedic surgeon, maybe even a shoulder specialist, might be a good place to start. Next, a top-notch sports physical therapist might have some thoughts on your options. Some of these Physical Therapists are REALLY very skilled and can often help achieve good results.
And just to be clear and keep it real....this swing IS easier on the back.
There is NO doubt about that. An ounce of prevention.....
Rotator cuff stress
Limiting the lift to something less than Surges', doesn't seem to effect club head speed that much, as long as the vertical club top of backswing position is reached and reduces stress on the shoulders. I also do a lot of swimming which is hard on the rotator cuffs but so far am injury free, perhaps because I do preventative exercises, with light weights and stretch cords. There are all kinds of effective rotator cuff exercises on the internet. An ounce of prevention is worthwhile when it comes to the shoulders.
Exercise & Stretching
True...There is no substitute for the correct exercise and stretching.
