General Golf Instruction
It's important to understand that my swing methods aren't just based on my own personal opinion of how to swing a golf club. The PPGS is the best way to swing a golf club because all of its elements are derived from the laws of physics and physiology. It's all based on facts!
Golf is all about hitting your targets. But, if you're not sure where your target is, how can you ever expect to hit it?
One of the easiest ways to spot a PPGS golfer is to look at the position of their feet in the setup. If they're set up correctly, you will see that each foot is flared out instead of pointing straight out in front of them.
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.... more
Because the Peak Performance Golf Swing advocates a 3/4 limited turn, vertical golf swing, many of my students think that the club must never rotate behind their toe line. While it's important to avoid swinging into the sacred burial ground, you still need to have some turn in order to maintain... more
Here at Swing Surgeon Golf, our full length videos are by far the best way to learn the Peak Performance Golf Swing. But, my short video tips that I publish throughout the week on this interactive blog provide a ton of useful information as well.
A few years ago, I conducted a golf school unlike the ones I typically host across the globe. The big difference? The average age of the attendees.
If you tend to hit the ground first when swinging a golf club, there are a few different reasons why this could happen. The first thing you need to check is the length of your clubs.
There are so many websites out there claiming that one little trick can help you add 40 - 50 more yards to your game. But, that's simply not realistic. If you work hard, you're going to become a better golfer, but I'll never tell you that the PPGS will automatically allow you to hit the ball 50... more
Do you waggle the club before you start your swing? Well, if you're not careful, you can easily be changing your grip without even knowing it, which can lead to hooks that have no clear explanation.
I like sharing success stories because every single one is unique. It's also because sometimes these testimonials can help other golfers who are having similar problems.
Whenever a golfer de-lofts their club at impact, it's essentially the same as taking more club. Taking loft off the club will cause the ball to go farther. Now, that's all well and good if it's your intention, but for most amateurs, that's not the case.
Today I'm going to explain exactly why the Peak Performance Golf Swing is the only swing you should be using. Not only is the PPGS the easiest swing on the body, but it's also the only swing that's based entirely on fact.
Many of us have to wear glasses when we play golf, especially senior golfers. Yet, I would confidently say that the majority of these golfers are probably wearing the wrong kind of frames or lenses.
Nothing pleases me more than when I receive emails and messages from Surgites around the world who express the vast improvement in their game after switching to the Peak Performance Golf Swing. It makes it all worth it!
The bump is one of the secrets to creating power and distance with the Peak Performance Golf Swing. Yet, a lot of golfers I work with in private lessons and golf schools don't quite grasp the correct motion of the club while transitioning with the bump.
If you find yourself topping the ball more often than not, there's a strong likelihood that you aren't maintaining the levelness in your swing. It all starts with the knees. The knees are the bees...move them too much and you're going to get stung.
Having correct posture is very important if you want to be a consistent golfer. It's just as important as any other element of the PPGS Master Setup position.
The parameters of the Peak Performance Golf Swing are in place for a reason. They are meant to help you achieve a limited-turn, vertical golf swing. But, you should always remember that how you're hitting the ball is what matters most.
When you're faced with any type of job, it's a lot easier to attack it with the right tools.
If you've ever had problems understanding or executing the "bump", today's video is going to help. Proper weight transfer and releasing the club to impact is very important in golf. If your arms aren't straight at impact, there could be an issue with your bump.
You may have already received some notifications about my upcoming golf schools, but I just wanted to talk a little bit about my upcoming schedule.
I've been known to have a lot of "Surgisms" (as I like to call them). I believe that having these sayings helps students remember the important aspects and movements of the Peak Performance Golf Swing.
I haven't received a question about grip in awhile, so today I'll talk about a common misconception that suggests the V's of your grip should both point at the back shoulder in the setup position. However, if you're setup correctly, only one of the "V's" should actually point there.
Boy it's good to be back! As you may or may not have known, I've been unable to play golf for the last few months due to my recovery from heart surgery.
I've managed to publish some daily video tips from my archives in the interim, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm back for real... more
