Do you have an unconventional swing thought that helps you hit the ball more solidly and consistently? If you answered yes, you're not alone. A lot of golfers use unorthodox swing thoughts in order to get the club positioned correctly at impact.
Your hands are the only part of your body that come in contact with your golf clubs, so your grip is critically important. There's a few different ways in which you can grip your clubs, which is why you might want to experiment in order to see what style works the best for you.
Today's video topic is all about why club fitting is so important. Custom fit clubs will give you an edge over every other golfer who doesn't have them, so why not take advantage of it?
Every now and again, I get a question from a Surgite that asks me to review a particular golf training aid. With so many on the market (especially on the internet), it's easy to wonder whether or not they can help your golf swing.
Do you know what the bounce of a club is? In what scenario would you want to use the bounce of a wedge? These are questions that you should know, especially if your goal is to improve your golf game.
Whenever someone writes in to say they've switched to the Peak Performance Golf Swing, it brings me great pleasure. But, it pleases me even more when that person says they're finally finding success on the golf course because of this swing.
Being a golfer, you've no doubt heard the term "the slot." But, you might not know exactly what it means. The slot is where you want the club to be when you're swinging from the top of the backswing to impact. It can be a challenging position to consistently put the club, especially if you... more

I'm sure most of you are busy watching your favorite NFL team today, as the new football season gets underway. But, there's still plenty of good weather left this season, so I'll bet the majority of you still plan on playing some more golf before putting the clubs away.
Tempo and timing are two pillars of a well maintained golf swing. Without one, it's hard to have the other. Your backswing and forward upswing are both related to tempo and timing, so it's important to understand how each can affect your overall game.
If you've ordered any of the PPGS instructional materials that are available through www.swingsurgeon.com, you've heard me talk about the "5 Secrets." I call them secrets to start off, but then they become rules for you to live by whenever you're playing golf.
The inspiration for today's video didn't come from a question submitted to the website. Instead, I'm going to discuss a recent lesson I had with a longtime student from Atlanta, Georgia. Because we don't live as close as we used to, he started taking some lessons from another instructor.
When you're hitting the ball great, nothing can be more frustrating than a cold putter. No matter how many fairways and greens you hit throughout a round, it can be all for not if you can't get any putts to drop.
Today's video is all about why you shouldn't break your wrists when swinging a golf club. When starting your takeway, don't think about breaking your wrists. Instead, you should think about your arms rotating as a unit. By using what I call the 3P setup, you'll be able to get into the right... more
If you find yourself in the rough off the tee and you're faced with a lengthy second shot, what club do you pull out of the bag? If the rough is thick and your ball is sitting down, you shouldn't think about hitting a wood. Instead, you need to get back in play, while advancing the ball as much... more
The PGA TOUR is home to the best golfers in the world. But even the best players can sometimes struggle at certain points in their career. My son, DJ, was a fully exempt player on the PGA TOUR for nearly a decade, and I couldn't be prouder of him for it.
Some golfers like to use a forward press before they start their swing. This could be with the putter or any other club in the bag. Paul D'Andrea has been experimenting with a forward press and is seeing some success. He wanted to hear my opinion on whether or not using a forward press to start... more
There's a few ways to cut strokes off your game. One of them is eliminating multiple chips on the same hole. Getting it up and down is critical to posting lower scores, but you've got to know what each shot calls for.
Today's video covers parts of the setup and the swing. Ball position is often overlooked, especially when using the Peak Performance Golf Swing. Because we have flared feet in the setup, our ball position is based on our heels, not our toes.
If every club in your bag was the same length, would golf be an easier game? That's the question Eric Lans submitted after reading about a type of golf system that encourages golfers to keep the length of their clubs identical.
I know what you're thinking. How can a straight drive bounce to the right instead of straight? Well, it is possible but if you're truly hitting the ball straight it's not likely.
Being a good ball striker means you can consistently hit the ball at your intended target time and time again. It's about repeating shots, splitting fairways, and hitting greens. DJ has always been one of the better ball strikers on the PGA TOUR, and it's because he uses the Peak Performance... more
As I've said many times before, the ball doesn't know who is swinging the club. That means that the basics of the Peak Performance Golf Swing are the same for everyone. That includes right handed golfers and left handed golfers, male or female.
The driver is typically the hardest club to hit in the bag, especially with any sort of consistency. If you tend to hit your drives to the right with a slice, today's video could be exactly what your game needs.
If you occasionally lose the ball to the right or have trouble squaring your club at impact, today's video should help you understand why. Regis Rauch is a 7 handicap and hits straight shots, so he's grasped the concepts of the vertical swing and successfully implemented them into his game.
