Let's face it, many good to average golfers never beat their putting yip problems

Let's face it, many good to average golfers never beat their putting yip problems. To my way of thinking it's because they can't re-train their subconscious mind, therefore they always approach shortcopy wallet pressure putts with a negative mental attitude.
Over the years there have been hundreds of so-called experts arguing to and fro as to whether putting yips is a mental or physical problem. Well in my opinion "It's all in your head" based on trying all sorts of solutions over a 27 years time span.
However that said, in my case the only way I could stop yipping was by creating a grip and putting stroke that converted my subconscious mind into believing I couldn't move my hands, wrists and arms whilst executing the actual putting stroke.
The simple all shoulder action enabled me to stroke putts under 4 foot once again without feeling I would turn my right wrist over or do a block push the other way trying to mentally compensate for what I knew was going to happen.
Getting to this point was very exciting and inspiring because I once again had the feeling I could make a decent stroke on a short putt again. Then gradually over the next month or two I practiced the action until I no longer had any thought or inclination to yip short putts.
To my way of thinking people trying to solve their putting yips problems tend to make it too complicated. Also most of us do not have the mental strength to simply self-talk our way out of the yips. So you have to find a solution you can gradually implement that helps you re-train your subconscious mind into receiving positive not negative messages.
If correctly used the method I developed enables you to still play golf whilst learning to implement the grip and technique, because your subconscious mind is now convinced you will not jerk and turn over or block your hands, wrists and arms when executing the putting stroke.
When I had the yips really badly if I played a good chip to only a few feet away from the hole I would then be consumed with the thought of having to try to make the putt. By the time I got to the point of actually putting the ball I had worked myself up into such an anxious and stressful state I had virtually no hope of making the putt.
Now I don't ever think like that -- it's just another putt that I expect to make and usually do. If putting yips were purely physical you wouldn't put yourself through this negative stressful mental state and talk yourself into missing these little putts.
I beat the yips in 2005 after 27 years of sheer misery; my completely new approach enabled me to start over with a fresh new attitude leaving behind all the mental putting garbage I had built up over time. By introducing a completely new grip and technique I invented whilst practicing on the carpet inchaussures my home office.
If I can beat the dreaded putting yips with this simple but effective method -- I don't see any reason on earth why you can't, if you're prepared to do what I did.
This method gradually enabled me to re-program my subconscious mind back from the negative to the positive building my confidence week by week with short putts.
