Yips or Pressure
You suspect that you have the yips because you see unpredictable speed and direction.
Driver Yips
Your tee shots are very unpredictable and you cannot pinpoint a cause for it. You might even notice a jerking sensation in your arms or hands at impact.
Tripod Putting
Your putting stroke is often jerky or outside of the intended putting line. This could be caused by placing your bodyweight onto your putter, forming a tripod setup.
Straight Putting
You are cutting across the ball when putting. The ball rolls much slower and off the intended target line.
Solid Wrist for Solid Putts
You come a few feet short of the hole because you allowed your top wrist to break down at impact. This causes the blade of the putter to pass your hands at contact.
Putting Yips
You have the yips and you have already tried to cure them with positive thoughts with no success.
Chipping Yips
You shank, top, or hit the ball thin because you jerk the club or the clubhead is taking an upswing instead of a downward blow.
Grips for the Yips
You are unable to make smooth putting strokes during short putts due to jerking or pushing the putter. Sometimes you might even notice a tingling sensation or are unable to stay still when standing over the ball.
The Chip Putt
You have difficulty with long putts and this is probably because you bend over more than necessary when attempting a long stroke. You are less likely to perceive the distance between your lie and pin correctly if you bend over too much. This is because you tilt your head during your pre-swing…
Long Putts
You miss-hit, use too much wrist action, or do not take enough backstroke on long putts.
