Frozen Over the Ball With Full Swing Yips
Do you think you have the full swing yips and you stand over the ball for so long that you can’t take it back as if you are frozen?
Dr. Patrick Cohn, golf psychology expert and author of the Golfer’s Mental Edge CD program, teaches amateur to tour professional golfers how to improve their mental game of golf using golf psychology strategies developed over the last 20 years of his career.
In this week’s golf psychology session, mental game of golf expert and author of The Mental Game of Golf, Dr. Cohn, answers a question from a golfer who has the full swing yips.
Here is the questions Eric asks this week:
“I have the full swing yips and I’ve had it in the past and it went away… Now its back again. I waggle by moving my feet, I call it dancing. It can take 2-3 waggles, or maybe 25 waggles to move the club back. I’m frozen. I had the putting yips in the past but it went away when I switched to left handed putting. It’s my best stroke today. I’ve tried everything to figure out a trigger but nothing seems to help. I’m almost at a point where I have to give up the game I love. What suggestions do you have for how I can cure this horror?”
COHN: “There is no cure for the yips… It’s really not that simple but there are 2 things you can do to break the yips cycle.”
