LOOK HERE! IMPORTANT! To All Of My On-Line Colleagues When I started a year ago learning about the PPGS methodology, I never anticipated such a collective interest and such a collective acceptance of “The Gospel According To The Surge,” Lol! In the spirit of this holiday season, I would like to compliment and acknowledge the brilliant and insightful swing information shared on this site by individuals brilliant and insightful! In recognition of outstanding posters, the honor role listing is as follows…. “Mr. Chief Justice” Warren, Craig “I’m really 64” 63, Ken “The Gem” Genz, “Golfing Jones” GJ, “Ms Master Teacher“ Pamela, “Famous” Amos Terrell, “Handy” Randy S, Jim ”I Know How To Read” D, Tom “7-10 Split” Daugherty, Charlie “Rose,“ Ronnie “The Analyzer” Mc Curry, “Words Are Us” Stretch C, Michael “The SwingArch Angel,” John “Never” OB, Harry “Don’t Call Me Hairy” Thompson, Randy “The Dandy” Beckett, Jimsha, and Ken “When?” (Do we play)! And last but not least, as regards the anatomy and physiology of all golf club implements, special commendation to the Master Club Fitter and Builder, J Griffin. Together we have formed a PPGS resource team second to none! An investigative body sensitive to the pitfalls of the big muscle rotary swing of yesterday. Ours is a research body ever cognizant and watchful of PPGS interpretation inaccurate and misleading. And I also want to recognize those who have joined me since the first of the year in a crusade to vanquish those pathetic miscreant hackers whose sole existence in life is to disparage innovation and ridicule innovators. It now appears in the last few months, the instigators themselves have been vanquished into a well deserved oblivion. Amen! MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! HEY! LOOK HERE! IMPORTANT!

You are at your best when you counsel others on golf club fitting. And that was an amazing original statement, one I've never had anyone espouse before: "...I loved hearing golfers say that they were going to wait until they got better to get clubs that were fit to them. My question is how do you hope to get better if you are playing clubs that are totally unfit for you? The game is hard enough without fighting the equipment too." You go, boy! To Griffin

I have been playing now for over 12 months and have had lessons. I take a lesson now when I feel I am struggling with something. When I tee off I have the problem of sending the ball straight then it goes of to the right? The problem is when you get it right you forget what you have just done so next time you tee up you forget where your stance ball placement etc was and then you get the hook shot? Have you any answer to this I live in Australia and work away for 2 weeks I then get 2 weeks off so try and play as much golf as possible.

Griffin Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:30:47 +0000 http://www.peakperformancegolfswing.com/?p=5504#comment-57878 Craig, The simple short answer is YESSSSS! The silliest example would be to give a right handed player a left hand set of clubs and see how he does. Not the right equipment! So, more subtle things such as length, lie angle, weight, shaft frequency, club MOI, head design, etc. etc. would have a bearing on the game of an individual. It's not so much the better clubs, it's the having clubs that "fit" you that's the important consideration. I loved hearing golfers say that they were going to wait until they got better to get clubs that were fit to them. My question is how do you hope to get better if you are playing clubs that are totally unfit for you? The game is hard enough without fighting the equipment too. If you'd like the name of a qualified fitter/builder in your area, just let me know where and I'll give you some names. Craig,

Griffin Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:25:17 +0000 http://www.peakperformancegolfswing.com/?p=5504#comment-57877 One note of further clarification. If you do the PPGS correctly you should not need to "get behind the ball" as the set up favors the PLHR (pre load heavy right) with a slight tilt. This one position alone sets you with the necessary amout of weight on the right side and it then becomes a rather simple matter of the limited 3/4 rotation and lift. The lower body can remain relatively quiet as any lateral movement and minimal rotation. A true sway constitutes a lateral hip movement to the extent that the weight is shifted outside the back foot. For new students of the PPGS, the narrower stance requires that you pre load on the right side and limit lower body activity One note of further clarification.
