Now now Bob no need for that, .......breathe
Returning to the thread , it seems clear that the (proper) yips is an actual psychological condition that stops you from pulling the trigger or which causes you to hit the ball wildly,
It's causes are probably bad technique, leading to a massive lack of confidence, leading to an actual psychological issue.
Kevin Na had the driving yips a few years ago.pretty well documented on here at the time.
Now I have no idea if Del has had the proper yips or he is just a rubbish putter.
Most of us havnt met him or played with him and so it is wrong for us to comment on that.
He does however seem to have a fixation with the yips, and as such his problem won't go away if he keeps reminding himself of it.
I think proper yips are very rare. But lack of confidence is just round the corner for most of us, so we do need to be aware of the difference
