Stress Free Finish Position will Prevent Injuries

Sun, 11/02/2014 - 14:00 -- Don Trahan

It's not fun to play golf when you're hitting the ball poorly. But, it's even less fun when you're in pain while it's happening. One of the biggest reasons why golfers get hurt is because of their finish position.

Golf is the only sport in which instruction tells you to hit the ball at a target without finishing at the target. In my opinion, that doesn't make any sense at all. It's no wonder so many pros and amateur golfers wind up with chronic back pain. Just take one look at their finish position and you know it's only a matter of time before some sort of back issue can pop up.

One of the best ways you can remember to finish square to your target is by keeping your palms perpendicular to the ground throughout the swing. If they aren't, you'll know that you're rotating too much. 

Golf is a game you should be able to play pain free for a lifetime. The Peak Performance Golf Swing is what will allow you to do just that!

Keep it vertical!

Speaking of stressful swings, I watched the recent ReMax Long-Drive Championship and one of the players made a comment that relates to this video. He had many surgeries for injuries from his swing and said that all those competing in long-drive contests willingly sacrifice their bodies in the effort to win. I wonder why someone would risk that much injury and failure in his desired outcome.

Hi Kevin--I believe the answer is -----money. Fortunately, we Surgites are almost immune to those injuries when swinging the PPGS way. I'm nearly 75 and can play a full round (and , on occasion, TWO rounds) and finish without feeling I got hit by a train. Before I heard of Don's swing (mid 90's) I once drove from CT to Charleston, SC to play golf. On the 14th hole I got a tremendous pain twinge and had to be helped off the course and to my car. A long, long drive with a frustrating and painful result---and no further golf for over a month. Sooooooo, the PPGS has definitely solved that problem for myself and many others. It's too bad the PGA and Tiger haven't heeded the message.

Hi Surge
While playing golf recently with a 10 handicapper he commented after the round that I was using the right hand too much and thus losing distance
With equal grip pressure is there a danger that the stronger right hand would take over and what can I do to counteract this if that is the problem. I am cutting the ball sometimes which would suggest coming in from outside
I find the bump sometimes leads to too much lower body movement?
Many thanks
