How To Fix The Yips In Golf (Guaranteed Method That Works)

All golfers who suffer with the Yips know this sinking feeling...

The Yips are THE MOST frustrating and demoralizing challenge a golfer faces. They turn the simplest of shots into nightmares, shaking your confidence and making you question your game. But here's the truth: the Yips are not permanent. 

To overcome the yips in golf, it's essential to tackle both the mental and physical factors. Achieving this involves technical adjustments, mental conditioning, and practice routines aimed at restoring confidence. Crucially, it requires a combined approach, as the yips are not solely mental or physical.

There isn’t a one size fits all approach – that’s why you should be wary of advice from books, social media, YouTube, podcasts – anywhere that someone claims to be able to fix your Yips without first getting to know you, your history with the Yips, your current technique, and how your mind works.

Understanding the Yips: Mental vs. Physical Causes

The yips are often caused by a combination of physical tension and mental anxiety, which are closely linked.

Physically, an involuntary, uncontrolled muscle movement occurring at the most inopportune moments eventually results in a complete loss of confidence in your technique.

Over time, the intensity of this physical sensation creates deeply ingrained performance pressure and a strong fear of failure, prompting further attempts to manipulate or control the ball.

Recognizing that this is a continuous cycle of physical and mental issues is the initial step in overcoming the Yips.

How Long Does It Take to Overcome the Yips?

With the right support and consistent effort, many golfers see significant improvements in as little as 4-8 weeks. Every golfer is different, but a structured program targeting both mind and body accelerates recovery and makes it permanent. Such a program would need to include:

1. Technique Changes

2. Mental Conditioning

3. Guided Practice Routines

4. Address Performance Anxiety

5. Immersive Guided Audios
