Retrofitting Golf Clubs

Today I'm back with Greg MacDonell and Dale Moser, as we continue our discussion about club fitting and what Dale did to each of our students' clubs.

Playing Golf After Back Surgery

I've always described the Peak Performance Golf Swing as the body friendly swing. More specifically, I feel like it's the back friendly swing too because of the low amount of stress that is put on the back throughout the entire swing. A question came in asking if anyone had ever used the PPGS after having an operation on their back that required fusing. I've also been asked if the PPGS could even eliminate the need for surgery all together.

Hitting Down vs. Swinging Up AFAP

One of the biggest misconceptions in golf is that you should hit down on the ball. With the Peak Performance Golf Swing, I teach swinging up as fast as possible (AFAP). Some of you seem a bit confused with the concept of swinging up because I continuously get questions asking about what should be happening from impact to the finish.

Practice Mode vs. Play Mode

Because golf is such a challenging game, there is always room for improvement and areas in your game that need some fine tuning. But, it's important that you work on your game at the right time and not in the middle of an important round.

Is Golf Exercise?

There's always been a long running debate about whether or not golf provides the body with exercise. Some have even argued that golf is not a true sport because there is no running or jumping involved (except when you drain a putt to beat your buddies!). I think the real answer depends on what kind of golfer you are.

Doctor's Orders - PPGS After Surgery

A couple weeks ago, I posted a daily video on Playing Golf After Back Surgery. In that particular post, I talked about a Surgite named John who was curious about playing golf after undergoing a back fusion. I sent off the quesiton to my mentor on all things related to the body, Dr. Ned Armstrong. Today, I'd like to share his response with anyone whose ever had surgery of any kind.

How Straight Is Forward Arm?

Today's topic is about the forward arm and how straight it should be throughout the golf swing. Because there is a slight rotation in the Peak Performance Golf Swing, the forward arm cannot be in a locked position. While the back elbow breaks to allow turning to the toe line, the wrists and forward arm remain in a nice, firm position.
