Took Peak Performance lessons and learned the swing. I’m 59 and have mediocre back and arthritis in my knees. I am not fat and quite fit. This works great for me. Shot 73 and 78 this weekend. Hit more fairways and greens with limited turn vertical swing. Check it out I did golf tech and Natural golf. This is easier. Not easy. Easier.

I was hesitant at first because it is a vertical swing… And my original swing was actually vertical when I started golf almost 4 years ago…. I was in a learning curve by then when a teahing pro corrected my swing to the traditional swing… but I was not happy with it and sure enough my handicapped become higher….. So my brother in the US sent me a copy as a gift ( since he never played golf anyway) …
When I watched the video I noticed some similarities with my old swing and I followed some of his tips and fixes…. It was not akward to me at all, it feels right and I regained my old swing back with improvements…. As they said , you dont only go to attend trainings to learn new things but you also want confirmation what you are doing is also correct or being used by other people…. ( For me Golf swing are subjective, it depends on the golfer) Having this in mind and hours of watching old great golfer video footages, I have noticed that all swings varies…. and they are hitting that old ball (less superior than what we have now) with an old wooden clubs and shafts for a distance of 250 yards!!!
I could hit an average of 250 yards with all the technology in the world…..

I could say PPGS is a swing that is sound and no gimmicks… Maybe not for everybody but certainly for me… I am a handicap 14 and playing golf for almost 4 years now (Not a really consistent player) , I play almost once every week end… Vertical Swing really does work!

But Ofcourse learning from this site one of the true fact that short game and putting is also a factor in lowering your handicap. I played with some guys who are already in the seniors, they dont hit long….. they dont even reach the long par 4s in regulation! But their short game works and almost all the time they chip it near the pin! I seldom see them 3 putted, 2 puts max ….

So I could declare, PPGS is the real deal but still need to work on those course management, short game and putting….

I have used Natural Golf (you need very strong upper body and forearms for this), Simple Golf (good but not easy to repeat from shot to shot) and Peak Performance Golf over the last 4 years. While Simple Golf and Peak Performance Golf both really save the back, Peak Performance Golf is the best, most repeatable golf swing with the fewest moving parts. Fewer moving parts means less stress, less timing, easier to learn and repeat. People who say they are losing distance need to look at the new released, updated video, width of stance, to understand what Surg is telling you to do from the top of the swing through the hitting zone. I’m 71 and I love it. Only negative is Surg is too detailed. Needs to simplify the teaching to make it easier to pick up what he is trying to teach you. It’s not how far you hit it, it is about where to put it. Done correctly you will have both accuracy and distance. Study the instructions, just don’t simply watch it.

I am from Australia and joined Dons course. When I tried to unsubscribe I was told that I had to phone in my resignation. This is nearly impossible, so I am still paying $19 month 2 years later. Its a scam

I have begun using the Peak Performance Swing & must say for my iron shots it really is quite good. I feel as though i can hit it just as far and much straighter. However i have problems with the driver and 3 wood. I tend to use the rotational golf swing for these as cant quite make such a good contact using the PPS. Don Trahan says you prob need to have your driver cut down slightly in terms of length to ensure you can hit the driver. So i am a believer & maybe if i had more talent i could do the PPS with my driver, 3 wood etc. I only started using PPS for my sore back. Its interesting to see that other people on here have some success also with the PPS. So maybe there is somethin in it for Iron shots but for driver / 3 wood im not convinced.

PPGS will revolutionize the golf game. Instead of feeling like I was hitting a baseball (left field, right field, pop up, strike out, etc.) once I got the swing down (about 3 weeks 2x a week) I felt like I was a sniper with a scoped rifle. Where do you want the ball? 10 feet left of that white stake 230 yards out? No problem. While that sounds like an exaggeration, I would love to show you how close I came to tree lines while cutting dog leg corners. It almost scared me until I saw the ball rolling into the sunshine just past the tree stands. Unbelievable. 6 greens-in-regulation on 9 holes and those were the final 6, after I got warmed up, including two par 5′s. It’s not a golf bag any more, it’s a quiver!

I’m 63 years old with a 23 handicap. I have been transitioning to this swing for the past 6 weeks. The number one thing is that it is much easier on my back. I don’t have to eat Advil during and after my round. It has straightened most of my irons and hybrid. My driver is still a work in progress. With my old swing I would go from a hard hook to a huge slice and everything in between. My misshits now are either skyed shots that go 100 to 140 yards right down the middle or fades and slices. I think that is due to the increased swing speed generated by the club being perpendicular at the top. It has lowered my overall scores by about 7 strokes.

I’m 31 years old and a 16 handicap. I bought Don’s program, which details the whole peak performance swing and used it on the course without practicing it at all on a range first (I know, crazy).

The results: I improved my score 7 strokes in the first round (over the previous time I played the same course). I have to say my irons are much more accurate and I hit it as long or longer with the driver. My problem is using the swing hitting hybrid clubs off the ground, which almost always produces a topped shot. Also, when I do make a mistake with the driver, it’s a smashed pull hook (very long and wrong). I think I need time to get used to the “bump” move in order to cut down on the hooks.

My verdict after one round: I definitely see promise with this swing, so I’m going to stick with it and see how it goes. I truly believe If I can master this swing, I’ll be able to cut 10 strokes off my average score.

I have only received the 10 email tips. I have found three things in particular to be very useful: 1) grip equally with both hands, 2) no wrist cock & 3) outward pressure on knees. I have been trialling these now for c 3 weeks and have found that I am hitting the long shots very much straighter with no loss of distance. Previously, I tended to over swing with the driver/long irons. These tips have kept the swing very much more compact and hence consistent. I play off 10 but have always been held back by my inconsistent driving. I think that these three tips will prove to be extremely beneficial to my game as I now believe that I will end up in less trouble off the tee. The swing changes were also extremely easy to make although I am still getting used to having a shorter swing (nb I still go for a full shoulder turn).

Let’s face it. Anybody who lacks flexibility will strike the ball better with a flatter, shorter backswing. And they won’t lose any distance because their flexibility is limiting distance anyway when they lose balance and get the club off plane trying to make a bigger turn than they can make. They may even hit it further.

But take that move back to 7,000+ yards and you’ll get your butt handed to you.

Single plane, double plane, its all baloney. Work on your conditioning, then find the relative level of up-rightness or flat-ness you need in your backswing to consistently hit a good trajectory WITH a shallow divot and you will see a sub 5 index very shortly thereafter and you won’t be in pain.

i just went to the range last night after watching some of Don’s videos. at first i was shanking balls like crazy, then i made a few mild adjustments (got rid of wide knees) and began striking the ball very well. i am an ex baseball player so the 3/4 back swing was comfortable to me as it is similar to how i would load just before my swing. and i did not lose distance. i was however much more accurate..long story short, soak up all the knowledge you can and then incorparate what works for you and discard the rest.

I downloaded all the videos three months ago and even have them in my iPod. I “bought in” because I was frustrated on how I was hooking the ball. Where I live (South Dakota) the nearest pro is 45 miles away and the nearest good pro is 100 miles.

I no longer hook the ball like I did, but I have to agree with some of the posters here who say they’ve lost distance. I certainly have. Many of the things that Don says makes sense. Some seem to be stretching logic a bit. I have the same problem with his swing as any other — who do you trust for advice when you’re not hitting the ball well.

I also think that if your fundamentals are sound — good turn, connected swing, not swinging over-the-top — you can make a lot of swings work.

The season here is almost over. I think I’m going back to a traditional swing (no back problems) and seeing if what I’ve learned while testing Don’s swing will allow me to continue to hit it straight but at the same distances I used to.
