Product Description
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.

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".

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.

It took me many years to find out that I've had the yips since I learned to play golf when I was only twelve years old. Its terrible to love this game so much and not be able to progress simply because this strange ailment that came into my swing when I least expected. It affected not only my putting but every aspect of my game, maybe the wiring in my brain is not suitable for playing golf but because hope is the last thing you loose I keep looking for a cure.
A few years ago I started learning about the neurological causes of the yips from the studies on the Mayo Clinic, they found that is simply an involuntary movement similar to what is known as distonia or basically a nervous tic that appears in moments of stress. After so many years at least I have an explanation to my weird unexpected swings, the sad thing about this study is that the researchers didn't have a clue on how to cure the condition.
So you can imagine the illusion into which I bought this book, with such a promising title and by such a prominent author I couldn't wait to find out how to get rid of the yips that have make me so miserable for so many years.
Good explanation about the causes of the yips and an interesting research by the germans with the device to detect the exact moment on which a golfer gets the involuntary movement, otherwise this book is a rip off. It does not deliver what it promises, it only make some suggestions on how to help yourself on controlling the yips not to get rid of them. The author recognizes the difficulty in controling the yips when chipping and give only a few hints for controlling your putting and the driver but no statistical evidence to prove if this methods work short or long term.
I feel like if I've been taken again by one of the golf gurus who keep selling magic clubs or devices to improve our game when most of the time they know the falseness of their claims, didn't expected from Tiger Woods coach and now I don't know whom to trust anymore.

If you suspect that the dreaded y word is part of your golf makeup, then this book is necessary reading. You don't cure them; you learn to live with them, and Hank shows you how. From the mild forms to the worst of cases, Hank Haney will help you learn to enjoy golf again.
