BY HANK HANEY with MATTHEW RUDY"Yips," or simple tasks suddenly one can't do, can afflict anyone, not just the golfer. Tiger Woods coach Hank Haney and Golf Digest writer Matthew Rudy use the latest scientific thinking to suggest the cause is neurological, not psychological. The cure lies in changing physical process. Here is prescriptive advice, and hundreds of drills, to fix the yips.
Customer Review: A must read!
Must read this book if you are afflicted with the putting, chipping or full swing yips. Many, many good tips on how to minimize and perhaps overcome this dreaded "disease".
Customer Review: If anything can help, this book can
The review by Fernando L. Sosa "periososa" was both unfair and inaccurate. This book is both interesting and helpful. It begins with a history and explanation of the yips and then differentiates between ordinary mechanical setup problems and true nervous yips. This is the only book to my knowledge that goes beyond a simple paragraph or page explanation in other books. I started golf forty years ago with horrible driver yips which took me thirty years to manage. Then, I developed chipping and putting yips. This book has been a great help identifying and offering typical approaches to manage your yips. I switched to a belly putter and a cross-handed grip and now I only have a rare twitch at contact with the ball that drives the ball to the left. I have a feeling that the critical reviewer wanted a simple, one paragraph, permanent solution to his problem. As sport psychologists and philosophers suggest, the answer lies within you; you already have the cure. Hank Haney gives you the insight and techniques to help you help yourself.
