PPGS Works for Golfers of All Shapes and Sizes

Thu, 02/05/2015 - 12:00 -- Don Trahan

The Peak Performance Golf Swing works for golfers of all shapes and sizes. Whether you're a male golfer with a big belly or a female golfer with large breasts, the vertical swing enables these types of players to make solid contact on a consistent basis without being obstructed by their build.

There may be some minor changes to your setup if you're a heavy-set golfer, but the fundamentals of the PPGS still reign supreme. These techniques will help you find a swing that not only gives you more confidence, but leaves your body feeling pain free after a full round of golf.

Keep it vertical!

Thanks for the very empahatic reminder Surge. It's time to resurrect my Plane Trainer, which I haven't used in quite a while, to get rid of my tendency to "jam the right elbow."

While it has been some time since I have logged in, there is obviously been several changes to PPGS. and your dailies are one of them. I have been a member since before your last hiccup with your then management team. Your changes to form Swing surgeon were very welcome as nobody wanted to lose the Surge. But it is apparent that your current team of advisors have you going down the same path. What has happened to your daily's? All I have received since before xmas are advertisements for upcoming events or videos that I already have. My account does not show any purchases at all, and I think the only ones that I don't have are Kenny Knox short game and some one's putting video. I haven't purchased you revised manual as I find that I am not playing as much lately due to upcoming back surgery following a fall where I impacted lumber vertebrae. Please bring back the dailies I AM SURE MANY PEOPLE MISS THEM.
Regards,
AllanJ

Allen, dailies are still done though not quite as often as before Surge's last heart surgery. They did lose some account info a couple times with system changeovers a couple years or so ago. If you email customer support, you should be able to get back on the email list for the dailies. For your account, it would probably be helpful if you have kept emails containing your invoices for the products you purchased. You'll have to contact customer support to get fixed up.

Please bring up issue like this with us in Customer Service and we can help fix things. If you look at the blog, you will see we have been doing Don's tips from the back yard till this day. We have slowed down because of Don's health situation last year but expect to pick back up this spring in between golf schools.

Hi Don

Hope you're keeping well. Unfortunately, it looks like Tiger has not kept himself well and continues to struggle with his game. Some of it is mental, much of it is the stress he puts on his body, as we can see from the tournament coverage. I think we, as the "Surge Nation", should prevail upon Tiger to set aside any prejudices and get into our programme. I am convinced it will get him back on the circuit and winning again. We all probably want to see that.

Tiger is definitely at the worst slump of his entire career. Worse than wrecking a car and getting clubs thrown at you by a furious wife!

Well, I guess it's not all bad. After countless hours in the back yard, on the range and on the course, many of us can now legitimately claim to have short games as good as Tiger's.

It's hard to imagine him hitting some of the chunk chips he did in his last couple outings. First thing that comes to mind is club fitting, but surely he has that covered.

There seems to be agreement Moe Norman was the best or at least a great ball striker. He seems to be on your side of the street. What do you and him agree upon and where do you disagree? Moe seems to be rotational but he also seems to be limited turn and stable lower body.

awood,

As someone who did the Moe swing for many years there are a few differences. The major difference would be in Moe's setup (arm's extended where the left arm and club form a straight line and the shaft of the club also in line with the right forearm) and Moe's backswing which stays on plane with his shaft at setup. Don's swing, being vertical, would be on a much higher swing plane than Moe's. Although in Don's video above, it was interesting that he advocated what is essentially a Moe setup for people with big guts or women with big breasts (an arm extended setup). Interesting.....
