Overcome The Putting Yips EasilyThree Keys To Eliminate The Putting Yips Maybe you've been lucky enough to never have had the dreaded putting yips, but probably I'm guessing not if you're reading this page. Yipping during your short putts can leave a golfer feeling frustrated to the max. Sometimes a strong case of the yips can make golfers give up the game altogether. If you've had the yips or need help getting rid of them now, you've come to the right place. Make Sure To Keep Your Head Still The first thing to check if you are yipping is if you are moving your head during the putting stroke. A lot of times, golfers want to watch the putt right when they hit it to see if they made it or not. Don't do this. If you suspect that you may be moving your head while putting, take extra caution and hold your head still until well after you've hit your putts. Once, you can get comfortable not peeking to see where the ball went, you'll eliminate a common cause of bad putting and the yips. Moving your head in the putting stroke will cause the putterhead to move offline and you can be missing rights right or left with a head that is moving too quickly. So be careful and monitor this simple point and make sure to keep your head down until well after your hit your putts. Keep Your Left Wrist Firm Secondly, keep your left wrist firm while stroking your putts. When your wrists start to break down incorrectly in your putting stroke, you'll probably be hitting your putts off line and your short putting will most likely suffer. Take some time on the practice putting green to make sure your left wrist stays firm through the hit and followthrough of your stroke. This will help ensure your putts stay online and go into the hole. Make Sure To Accelerate On Short Putts This simple concept can help you eliminate decelerating through the ball on your short putts. Making sure the putter is accelerating correctly will give you a better roll and the ball will break less on short putts. Typically, you want to take out as much break as possible on short putts and hit them slightly firmer.
