What a great video. Thanks so much. Im in Australia and have the yips and not enjoying the game because of those 3 foot puts. Yesterday on one hole I was on for 2 and had an 8! Going down tomorrow with a couple of tees to see if I can sort it out. Thanks again Brendon
Let me know how it goes. I was so excited to release this video as I know so many people struggle with putting and Chipping Yips and knowing that there’s a solution that really works that isn’t just about thinking positively as exciting to think how many people it can help.
It’s amazing when instead of fighting it you lean into it. See that you’re capable of making putts in all types of ways and the pressure is off. It was so much fun playing golf with him yesterday and seeing him rolling pets in one after another from 4 feet.
Great video. I'll give these drills a try. I have the yips. It's an involuntary twitch of the right hand, just before impact. And it's so debilitating. I have to putt left handed just to get around the course and it's hard to see the line from that side of the ball.
Update..after many month after following your instruction, the yips have returned. I can hit a tee contantly from even 10ft, when i practice. Probablyvas good as a pro, but on the course, in comps i am so anxious I cant drop a 2 footer! I am convinced now that the yips are totally mental. I am devastated as no matter how much i practice, (100 every day) I still cant put.
I have a student just the other day they reached out to me that has severe Chipping Yips . He was meant to come out Wednesday, but unfortunately got sick. Planning to meet up with him next week. I’ll throw it on video and make sure to post it on RUclips. My suggestion for now is to lean into it not fight it have fun selling. Have fun blading have fun sliding underneath it have fun, gripping the club hard. When we fight it, there’s no learning when we feel it and understand it then we can improve it
Just watched your video. I sometimes suffer from putting yips. It rears its ugly head anytime I get to thinking I must make this one or that one. Just this past week in the club championship I reached a par 5 in two shots and had an up hill 40 footer. Ran the first putt by about 6 feet, then missed the next putt and ran it by 3’. Then left the third putt short. Four putt bogey. Pressure mounted on the first putt because I wanted to not leave the putt short. The second putt I was very nervous on and yipped it. The third putt I almost missed the ball by decelerating into it then bumping it and leaving the three footer short. I’ll try your drills but when people like myself place extreme importance on putting, it usually goes sideways for us. I’m tired of having 40 putts per round.
How crazy is this I just had Alan out for his first playing lesson the day we launch the five. Made 4 or 4 putts from 4,5,5 and 6 ft today. No more yips.
I can square cut and 4 putt a 1 footer lol low handicappper and love pressure. Super reliable under pressure in other sports and was once in golf. make it make sense lol
I had putting then chipping yips. No problems practicing but then midway through round yips would creep in. The problem for me is I was fighting the natural motion of the putter and wedges. Changing to a claw grip helped but this is just masking the problem.
Richard, are you saying that you change the claw. You can see in this video is leaning into tension that creeped into the natural motion. That’s why I take all my golfers on the golf course in small groups to add pressure so that we can see what we’ve been working on works under pressure. I hope this video helped you.
@@thescoringmethod I tried the tee behind the hole. Amazing when you narrow the focus how accurate you can be, regardless of the length. Thanks for posting this lesson. It helped.
Has anyone had the yips when they first started playing? I believe it happens over a long period of time in which it becomes a fight between the arms or hands. One of them gets out of sync. It truly is a bad feeling because it doesn’t happen while practicing.
I only get the yips when I’ve got a scorecard in my hand. Can’t emulate it during practice, therefore it only affects me in competitions! Therefore no amount of drills can help
I'd pay a lot of money to take my yips away. Can putt like a king on the putting green and as soon im in competition they come on. Have switched to right handed putting (I play lefty) and im getting better at it. But my left handed putting used to be the best part of my game
I've been playing 25 years, about 6 years ago, i had to change to a long putter to change my putter game.. new start ... It will be in your soul till the day u die, and you'll still miss putts under pressure, but a change will help for a bit....
I might disagree with that seeing the Bernard just shot 63 this weekend and one more tournament after the yips than before the yips as had Lucas glover.
I really like the do this and this - 90% of YT golf Vid's are Don't do this don't do that, it creates a problem in golfers subconsciously end up doing the Don'ts because it is ingrained as the first msg in the Video, at the end of the day its all about Good Communication and NOT excessive BLAH BLAH, the Americans are really bad at BLAH BLAH - personal Opinion!!!
Thank you for your kind words. I do agree we got a direct people where they want to go to what they wanna do so they can achieve what they’re capable of.
I’m not sure that you can quite understand a yip unless you’ve had them yourself. He kept saying to you “no that wasn’t a yip” but you said “oh but the face opened”. That tells me you don’t know what a yip is.
Definitely a big difference between somebody having a face open and impact and pushing the ball like most golfers do and having a violent jerk as you go through the putting stroke that is out of your control. I’m trying to explain to him now is if you miss a part because you push it or pull it, that’s just a normal part of he has to start to see the positive in a decent stroke that doesn’t have the action. Tell you how great it was to watch him make every pet. He had a 5 feet getting to know him a bit more and knowing that this had held him back for the past 20 years has a Pga Pro and Coach really makes your day when you see that you’ve been able to help somebody.
My dad has the chipping yips, he can chip perfectly when it doesn’t count but when it’s in the game it is the craziest thing to see. It’s a neurological thing and he’s tried every chipping method. You’re absolutely right this guy doesn’t know what a yip is
That’s why the best strategy to minimize those yips on the course, is to elevate the tension of your practice! Get that tension level as close to playing as you can. You can’t completely replicate it, but you can learn to play through tension and mentally overcome that elevated tension on the course!
It is a great accent. But Dan when I’m coaching, my focus isn’t on how quickly I can make a video it’s about supporting the player in front of me to help them break through a 20 year struggle. I think great Coach just take that time and we did cut out a lot of the in between time. I could send it to you if you wanted a little bit more.🤣

Did you see the video from Alan yesterday shot 74. Totally new man tip free
Any success in getting out of them?
Great stuff I've been struggling for a while can't wait to try some stuff.
Let me know how it goes. I was so excited to release this video as I know so many people struggle with putting and Chipping Yips and knowing that there’s a solution that really works that isn’t just about thinking positively as exciting to think how many people it can help.
Like the stagger step and the 3 second pause, awesome stuff.

Will your content is really helpful. Please keep posting more videos !
That's the plan! Thank you for your kind words. Let me know other things you’re interested in learning about.

Excellent video. I have the chipping yips. Could you recommend a practice routine for chipping please.

I will believe somebody has a cure for the yips when a former yipper is giving the lesson.
Brilliant lesson. Started a twitch just like this months ago. Off to the putting green tomorrow.
Let me know how it goes?

Some if this is partially useful. Some of this came from Dave Pelz and Phil. These vlogs are also useful
Looks like his misses are to the right almost ever time

My dad has the chipping yips, he can chip perfectly when it doesn’t count but when it’s in the game it is the craziest thing to see. It’s a neurological thing and he’s tried every chipping method. You’re absolutely right this guy doesn’t know what a yip is
Yips are neurological. Between the ears. Psychological. If u never had it u dont understand it. You dont have yips when youre practicing
That’s why the best strategy to minimize those yips on the course, is to elevate the tension of your practice! Get that tension level as close to playing as you can. You can’t completely replicate it, but you can learn to play through tension and mentally overcome that elevated tension on the course!
You Brits. That is 23 minutes of talking for the brilliant 3’ putt routine. Should have taken 3 minutes. You guys love hearing yourself talk.
It is a great accent. But Dan when I’m coaching, my focus isn’t on how quickly I can make a video it’s about supporting the player in front of me to help them break through a 20 year struggle. I think great Coach just take that time and we did cut out a lot of the in between time. I could send it to you if you wanted a little bit more.🤣
Speaking of someone liking to hear themselves talk...
