After reading about yips, I started thinking if I ever had them, to which I can yes positively.
It's funny though, I like to think that going to a superstore grip is what got me past them.
But I think the answer is a little more nuanced.
The fact that the grip was consistent width the whole way through did something for me that was so key:
It let me grip the putter grip further down the handle than in all the pistol grips that required you to be right at the edge to feel right.
So what did that do?
That finally allowed me to let my left arm hang down naturally and then grip the putter, so my lead shoulder and arm were not jammed up, allowing me to make a free stroke.
Proper length of the putter could have been the technical fix as well, but for me, once my lead arm was hanging freely and lead shoulder was squared up, putting has been a joy again.
