Today's question comes from one of our female Surgites. Tina B. is having some trouble getting the club vertical in the backswing, and says the only way that she's able to do so is by cocking her wrists at the top of the swing. As you may or may not know, I advocate no wrist cock in the golf... more
Have you ever become frustrated on the golf course because of your inability to stop the ball on the green? There can be many factors that cause this, all of which contribute to your ball rolling off the back of a green.
Some rotational golfers have a negative opinion about the vertical golf swing that I teach. As you can read below, Jim Des Londes claims that a few of the pros he knows suggest that an upright swing will cause the left arm to disconnect from the body.
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.
I haven't dedicated an entire daily to alignment in awhile, so I thought I'd answer a question on the subject recently sent in by Larry Sandor. He has noticed that he's lining up with his feet open, which has him aimed to the left.
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
The longer the club, the harder it generally is to hit. That means the driver is most often the toughest club to hit in the bag. It's also the club that's usually used the most off the tee. It sets you up for the rest of the hole, so it's critical that you are able to make solid contact.
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.
To hit the ball longer, you've got to have a swing that's able to produce power. The Peak Performance Golf Swing provides you that power by the use of your arms. If you're wondering what I mean by that, today's video is sure to help.
Have you ever wondered what a new set of custom fit golf clubs could do for your game? Are you curious about the process our certified fitters put you through in order to determine the right clubs you need? Well, good fittings take time and there's a lot of measurements and analysis that takes... more
How you grip the club can determine your ability to repeat shots. If you don't maintain your grip pressure throughout a round, it will be hard to see any sort of consistent results. The key is figuring out the right amount of pressure and the type of grip that's most comfortable to you when... more
Whenever I discuss the impact position, I usually include my thought process of swinging up to the T-Finish. However, that doesn't mean I'm hitting up on the ball. It's merely a thought I use to keep me from moving my whole body forward during the transition.
Good wrist action is no wrist action. But, your wrists must be engaged and firmly in control if you want to have any sort of power and accuracy when swinging a golf club.
Before I traveled overseas to Europe, I was busy heading up some golf schools in Allen, Texas. Dave Seeman, Doc Griffin, and I shot some videos over the course of the few days that we were there. I'd like to share one of them with you today.
Well Surgites, you've heard me say it before. The Peak Performance Golf Swing trademark in the setup is the wide knees outward pressure position. Without it, you won't be able to maintain any sort of consistent vertical swing.
Today is your lucky day because I'm going to share a few of my top secrets about shaping shots that I've only ever discussed in my full length instructional video, Working The Ball. I honestly cannot come anywhere near covering everything about working the ball in one daily video, but I thought... more
Having a good short game can save you a lot of shots around the green. It's important to be able to make some putts, but being able to chip and pitch it close to the hole will help you cut strokes much more consistently.
Golfers of all skill levels are always searching for tips that might help them improve their games. I try and provide a comprehensive outlook on learning the Peak Performance Golf Swing, but I also like to share little tricks of the trade that I've developed or been told over all my years of... more
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.
If you have a tendency of turning too much, there's a good chance that you have an outside to in swing. That's the issue that Mark Higgins is facing as of late. It's causing him to hit a slice, so he's looking for some expert advice to help eliminate this improper movement in his swing.
Today's question comes from David Hayes. He's having trouble slicing the ball and feels his left arm position could be the reason. So, he wanted to know if the left arm (for a right handed golfer) should be straight or slightly bent.
Have you ever wanted to build your own backyard driving range? Well, today I'm going to discuss how I went about constructing my own and where you can find the right materials to do it yourself.
Today I want to discuss the relationship between timing and tempo. Some golfers may confuse one with the other, but in actuality, they must work as a team.
Today I'm going to do something a little different. Instead of providing a tip that I've discovered, I'd like to share one that was sent in by Bob Chipps.
