A number of visitors to the site have asked if the PPGS will help with sore knees.
Here's one example.
Mr. J. Gamble was using a wide stance and said:
'I have never been able to swing conventionally in that when I swing through the ball I slide my legs rather than hit into them because this starts my knees to ache. I believe your swing may help me. Would it be correct to say that the narrower stance, the position of the knees at address, and the decreased rotation of the upper body would put less stress on my knees?'
Here's my reply to everyone who has asked about wide versus a narrower stance:
Regarding the narrow vs. the wide stance.
If you are using a wide stance, then when you transfer your weight from the back to the front foot in the forward swing, there has to be a big shift of your torso to get there.
Therefore: pain.
The stance in the Peak Performance Golf Swing is shoulder wide for a driver.
When the weight shifts to the left foot and leg, you get there almost immediately.
From wedges to the driver, as soon as the weight shifts you are there on the left leg.
All you have to do is stand up on that leg to the T-finish.
And yes, this WILL reduce the stress and strain on the knees.
There is one more thing you can do to relieve knee stress.
Flair both feet out 30 degrees, especially the left. (Note: If you still feel stress in the knees, flair the left foot a little more.)
This allows the kneecaps to externally rotate a little, which helps them stay flexed.
When they rotate outward, especially in the forward swing to the left side, this allows you to get over and onto the left leg sooner and stand up faster.
The kneecap rotation, due to the flared foot, is the ultimate way of reducing stress in the legs, from the ankle to the knee to the hips and lower back.
Speaking of which…
Who recently had knee problems?
Hummmmm, let's see…
If you want to keep your knees as far way as possible from the knee replacement doctors, then make sure your swing is in perfect balance with the way God created the laws of physics and body mechanics.
