Choke down on the putter ~1/2 way down the shaft length.
Today I had a ~3' to 3.5' birdie putt (for a bogey/double bogey golfer playing with 3 others). I wanted to save my putt (for ~last), and they started ~yelling "putt it, putt it". So, I 'instinctively' choked way down - to pleasantly find it MUCH EASIER to see both the line the ball should take, and the angle of the face of the putter - to make the putt! Then I made it easily!! No lie. THIS IS THE ANSWER FOR THE "YIPS". (Think about it.)
Defined: "Yips or the yips is an expression used to describe the apparent loss of certain fine motor skills seemingly without explanation in one of a number of different sports." ..."In golf, the yips is a movement disorder known to interfere with putting." http://en.wikipedia.org/Yips
