I've published a lot of daily videos over the years and nearly all of them are available in our archives. Don't forget that whenever you have a question, there's a search bar that will scan hundreds of daily videos about all topics we discuss here on the blog.
Some golfers like to ground their club behind the ball before they swing. Others prefer to hover just off the ground. Personal preference can come into play here, but the determining factor should be how consistently you hit the ball. Fred Soobhany has found great success using the Peak... more
A couple weeks ago I shot a video on how you can avoid chunking wedges. I gave some reasons why it could be happening and some cures to fix it. But, I focused primarily on alignment and ball position. Today, I'm going to address another issue that causes people to hit behind the ball when they... more
I was recently going through my daily archives and found a video that I never shared with you. I feel the content is so good that I just had to get it published. Towards the end of the summer, I was working extremely hard on my game because I was preparing to play in the Carolinas Senior PGA... more
As we age, our bodies change and we aren't physically capable of doing the same things we were able to do 20 or 30 years ago. But, what we give up in power we can gain in accuracy. It all starts with a good setup.
For many golfers, maintaining control is a big challenge. Most would like to hit the ball as far as possible. This often leads to a lot of lower body movement during the swing because they are trying to crush the ball.
Do you have trouble hitting your driver consistently straight? If you answered yes, you're not alone! I get many students who hit their irons beautifully but when it's time to tee it up and let the big dog eat, suddenly they lose confidence and their fundamentals go out the window.
Sometimes a golf shot may call for a slightly open or closed face. There may be a tree in your way and the only shot is to go over it. Adding loft by opening the clubface is a good way to attempt to hit the ball higher in the air, but you must be sure that the clubface is still square to the... more
There are many unique features of the Peak Performance Golf Swing that make it so simple and body friendly. One of them has to do with the setup position. Roy Mullen sent in a question asking about being pre-loaded heavy right. He is having some issues with where his weight should be in relation... more
Hello Surgites! Today's date is pretty meaningful to me. It's my birthday and I've had a lot of fun sharing laughs with family and friends but I still wanted to bring you a daily lesson. I get so much enjoyment out of helping you all become better golfers so I had to make sure I published a... more
All golfers want to hit the ball on the sweet spot of the clubface. You'll no doubt have the best results if you can consistently hit it there every time. The tricky thing is that most golf clubs today are built with the sweet spot out near the toe of the club. You'll find that's the case with a... more
Nothing gets a round going like a great drive off the first tee right into the middle of the fairway. But, hitting your second shot from the short grass doesn't do much good if you're topping the ball.
The Peak Performance Golf Swing setup is highlighted by wide knees with outward pressure. But, how wide should your knees be? This was Skip Fraker's question, who has slowly been introducing my swing theories into his game.
Today's question is pretty unique. It's so interesting that I wanted to share it with you all. Gary Kinne has a physical feature that forces him to alter his alignment slightly and it got me wondering if anyone else has ran into the same situation.
Cheryl Cassidy has been using the Peak Performance Golf Swing for nearly two years and has expressed her excitement in the progress she's been making. But, she wrote in a question that I think a lot of you may relate with.
Barry Sinclair, of Western Australia, sent me this question asking for an explanation of why many golfers have difficulty hitting their longer clubs well.
Today's tip is the natural follow-on from the one we covered yesterday on how to grasp your club correctly to set the proper amount of forward shaft lean at address. The question is from a Surgite named Tom, who is just getting into the game.
Today's question from Paul Myers of Franklin, Indiana is a really good one because it foucses on a key difference between the Peak Performance Golf Swing and almost every other golf swing theory out there.
It has to do with how we initially place the club into our forward hand.
