Here are some frequently asked questions about the yips.

 

Who gets the yips?

• Recent studies show that up to 48% of experienced golfers suffer from some forms of the yips.
• High achievers, ultra-competitive golfers, perfectionists and longtime players are particularly susceptible.

 

Why is this?

• Because avid golfers and individuals with these traits generally try harder or work more when presented with a challenge or an obstacle that’s difficult to overcome.

 

Why won’t trying harder work?

• Because trying to consciously force athletic actions is not as effective as specific training to allow subconscious mastery of athletic action.
• You cannot overcome this; it’s the way our brains are wired.

 

Why can’t I just work at perfecting my stroke?

• Because nobody’s perfect so stop trying to be!
• Some of the greatest players of all time have already tried this method with poor results.
• Conscious force may result in some short term success. You may have already experienced this, but it won’t last.

 

Why can’t I train my way out of the yips?

• Because technical flaws are not the sole factor in causing the putting yips.
• So any training that involves only physical drills designed to improve technique, changing to a new putter, putting grip or putting style—CANNOT and WILL NOT have LONG TERM SUCCESS.

 

If it’s not all technical flaws then it’s mental and how do I deal with that?

• Sports psychologists have developed many outstanding peak performance programs that focus primarily on mental training. But because your conscious brain acts as a filter you cannot fool yourself into being confident by talking or thinking alone. Especially, when your mind continues to see you perform poorly.
• That’s why you need a comprehensive plan, and not just another tip.

 

What makes this program different than all the other yips solutions?

• Because it’s revolutionary in it’s approach to the problem.
• It offers a multifaceted solution that attacks the issue from every angle.
• Every aspect of the training is very specific to addressing the problems that cause the yips.
• And it gives you the time you need to succeed.

 

Will I have to do visualization training, because I don’t think I can do it?

• You already are—you just may not realize it.
• It’s really about changing your mental images so that they are productive rather than destructive to your performance.

 

Visualization training just seems like a waste of time, do I really need it?

• Absolutely, you won’t fix the yips without it.
• Plus if the greatest players do it why wouldn’t you?
• It gives you the best chance to reach your own potential.

 

60 days seems like a long time, why is the program so long?

• It takes time to break down your current established habits and beliefs and then rebuild and embed new habits and beliefs.
• Curing the yips WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

 

I’ll do just about anything to fix my yips, how do I know this program will work?

• Because nothing you’ve tried to date, will be as comprehensive in addressing all aspects of the issue so that you fully understand why you’ve got the yips.
• Nothing you’ve tried to date will provide as detailed physical and mental training regime to resolve them.
• And nothing you’ve tried to date has provided the time you need to rebuild your confidence.

 

Is it as easy and straightforward as it sounds?

• I never said it was easy, just that it works.
• You’re going have to put in the time and effort.
• You will have plenty of set-backs and you need to be prepared for these set-backs.
• But CURING YOUR YIPS will be well worth the sacrifice.
