Is it impossible to have the "Yips" with the anchor method? And is that why they now say anchoring is cheating?

golf is as much mental as physical, and the mental challenges are there to be overcome. I disagree with your sentiment 100%. The yips are no more terminal than first tee jitters. It's just a question of finding the solution that fits the individual's make-up and approach.

Anonymous and David B--both of you are partially correct according to a research report I read involving the use of fMRI equipment on elite athletes and musicians, where one chapter was on the yips. According to the report, it is not the same as first tee jitters, and finding the solution is the key. Anonymous is partially correct in that even if you find a solution, the mental process that brought the yips the first time will probably bring it again. The report explains why and how this happens. True yips, according to the report, and different from first tee jitters in that people who are highly proficient in an activity can develop the yips. For those who are a little interested in the mental process of the yips, it apparently occurs when the brain sends multiple messages as to when to start the s wing and thus confuses the person.

thanks for the reply; you wouldn't happen to have a link or a title to that report? I'd be very curious to read it. I may have inferred that the yips are similar to first tee jitters, I didn't exactly say they were the same, but that they could equally be overcome. I do think the solution (for both) is in a new mental approach (which might allow one to bypass the faulty electrical impulse paths in the brain, lol).

Because I tended to aim towards the left and flip my wrists in putting, I changed a few years ago to putting with left hand (lead hand) low. This helps a lot but I can still manage to occasionally flip the wrists to give it a little something extra. Suggestions for a drill with left hand low putting?

Why not put the ball on the other side (forward arm side) and putt. Now if the wrists break, the ball will fall out.

Seems to me like it would not necessarily fall out, depending on your wrist bend. LH Tom

Just in the nick of time. I have been fighting the yips on short putts and meaningful putts (for birdie or to save par) inside ten feet. Devan, do you recommend keeping one's head still after impact to avoid the old sneak-a-peek syndrome? Maybe listen for the ball to fall into the cup? Thanks again for a timely tip.
