A friend of mine asked me the other day if I had any tips or tricks that could help fix the yips he was having on the putting greens. I’m obviously not an instructor, so I gave him the best advice I could. The topic did get me thinking about it though.
I went to GolfChannel.com and started looking around for a possible solution and came across a great video by Brad Brewer. I’m sure many of you are familar with Brad, he operates a Golf Acadmey in Orlando Florida. Anyway, checkout this video from Brad that could help solve your putting yips.

Proper putter fitting can make all the difference in your putting performance. There are many things that go into determining which putter fits you the best, things like lie angle, putter length and putter face loft. Their is an excellent video by Eric Hogge, the Head Golf Professional for the Center for Golf Learning and Performance and the Director of Club Fitting for PGA of America, describing these three elements of putter fitting.
Proper fitting is important, so much so that you can’t buy a new Coutour model putter without getting fitted for one first. They have devised a way scientific way to gauge your proper fit. They call it the Tri-Fit Measurement System. I’m not sure putter fitting needs to be quite this exact, but then again I was never very good at math.

Half of putting is knowing you can make any put, so when your lacking confidence even the “gimmie’s” feel more difficult. To gain feel and
confidence with you’re putting try different putter inserts.
Inserts are located on the face of the putter and are designed to give you greater control of speed, distance and promotes a true roll of the ball. Because inserts are 
typically made of a lighter substance then the putter head, the ball stays on the face longer increasing stability through impact.
Try to find the type of putter that not only fits your stroke, but one that feels good as well. Confidence can take you a long way on the greens, so go out and find a putter that feels like a million dollars! Oh, by the way, all four majors we’re won with putters using insert technology.
