Do You Have The 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.”

“I Am Confident These Skills Will Hold Him In Good Stead For The Future”
“Last year at this time, my eldest son Martin fell 3m from a tree and broke both his arms. A little inconvenient for his golf and for his basketball.
I took decided to subscribe to your site and undertake the kids focus program with him to take the opportunity to develop his mental side of sports.
The improvement has been very good and am very proud of how he now prepares, plays, and evaluates his performances as he has shown a great maturity for being ten years old. I am confident these skills will hold him in good stead for the future.”

Changing My Routine Has Been a Big Help
“You helped me with my routine—it’s almost like it has a flow to it—you pull your club and boom you are into it. You should glide through the routine. It’s when you try to make yourself stick to a cadence; the routine feels out of sync. Helping me get into the flow of the routine has been a big help.”
