Nice, Yoda! I alternated between cringing and wincing watching Sir Charles attempting to execute Haney's habitualized ignorance! That is not to start a tirade against Haney...he appears to be a very sincere person. What he never seems to be able to do is tailor-make his instruction to Chuck's needs. It seemed as though he would give the same treatment to everyone. If you cannot diagnose do not prescribe! My wife became quite tired by me shouting "Two minutes with Yoda!" Heck two minutes with Bucket!
I do not think I have ever had the grown version of the yips, but I have had issues from close range from time to time. I have recognized two negative tendencies that other may recognize.
1. Power accumulation disorder (also known as scraping the bottom of the barrel)
a. Not being aware of how to zero out or add power accumulators creates a great deal of indecision which leads to adding (surge splurge) or subtracting power (limp-losing) in fact you can do both during the same stroke!
2. Hinge-hysteria (hell-rhythm hands)
a. Not selecting a hinge action, again creating a great deal of uncertainty and crossed wires.
b. I prefer an angled hinge action on the greens but using all three during an actual round has proved helpful...just not at the SAME time! The horizontal hinge has proven very helpful when putting from long range and from the fringes. TGM provides the versatility that makes choice meaningful (note the last sentence is copyrighted!
