I Think I Have The Driver Yips (Can My Coach Fix It?)

Golf coach Andrew Nicholson diagnoses Hannah Holden's driver snap hooks and off-center toe strikes. By controlling neck axis overturning and pushing the driver head back low along the turf, Hannah restores proper extension, radius, and synchronized hip rotation off the tee.

• Prevent overturning the neck axis in the backswing, which shifts the base of the swing arc and forces toe hits or drop kicks.
• Maintain backswing stretch by pushing the clubhead low away along the ground rather than lifting the arms up.
• Synchronize the downswing sequence by letting the left hip clear first while keeping the head stabilized behind the ball.
