Fix the Yips Forever: The First and Only Guide You Need to Solve the Game's Worst Curse Review
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.
Fix the Yips Forever: The First and Only Guide You Need to Solve the Game's Worst Curse Overview
Let the teacher who works with Tiger Woods, the world’s best player, help you cure the yips—the frustrating problem that can cause even the greatest players to miss short putts, jab chip shots over the green, or miss fairways by eighty yards off the tee.
"The yips can make you feel like you want to quit golf and take up fishing full time. I know. I’ve been there. But Hank’s experience and sensitivity to the problem make him unique in the world of golf instructors. If you have the yips, you couldn’t be in any better hands than Hank Haney’s."
—Mark O’Meara, from the Foreword to Fix the Yips Forever
Most golfers think of the "yips" as a psychological affliction, a confidence problem that causes them to lose control of their game because of a split-second glitch. But scientists are now starting to unlock the true root of the problem: focal dystonia, a motor-neural malfunction that causes a player’s brain to distort the message being sent to the muscles. Acclaimed golf instructor Hank Haney used these discoveries to overcome his twenty-year battle with the yips, and now he shares his breakthrough regimen that can "rewire" any golfer who struggles with the yips.
Showcasing dozens of practical, hands-on techniques for eliminating the yips from putting, chipping, and the full swing, Fix the Yips Forever delivers the brand of prescriptive advice and drills that have made Haney one of the most sought after golf instructors in the world. This groundbreaking handbook features more than 100 black-and-white photographs, including reproductions of diagnostic screens and Haney’s ultrasound "yips measurement System" for hands-on yip-free training. If you can’t make it to Haney’s Golf Ranch for a personal diagnosis, Fix the Yips Forever is the next best thing.

Yips be gone! - Eagle711 - South Pasadena, California
I struggled for two years with the worst case of the putting yips. Hank has two systems. Fix it mentally or fix it physically. By drastically changing my grip and taking my right hand out of the putt I am no longer yipping. It is a great book with lots of ideas and empathy for the dreaded yip disease that can be cured.

Great book. I got a lot out of it and have improved my chipping quite a bit based on some of the info and pratise ideas from the book.
Solid instructional book on the golf game - Eagle Vision - Southeastern United States
Hank Haney coached Tiger Woods in 2008. His credentials are extensive. When an expert writes about a common anomaly as the Yips, one should really listen to him.
Haney covers everything from the full swing, short game (chips) and putting yips. He shows methods of how to swing the club and how to cope with the yips. I read this book primarily for information, as a beginner and a golf scholar (having already read dozens of golf books). He advocates the arc type of putting stroke over the straight back-straight through stroke.
The text is easy to follow and the author cites clinical research behind the phenomenon of the yips. The book is well illustrated with sharp full color photographs.
Overall, Haney's advice is solid. I highly recommend this book (even if you don't have the yips).
A must read! - Brian D. Hamilton - Cape Cod, MA
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".
