Few things strike more terror in the hearts of golfers more than the threat of the yips. A case of involuntary wrist spasms that occur when golfers are attempting to putt, the yips have long been associated with performance anxiety. In reality, however, this condition has little to do with choking under pressure.
Although anxiety can heighten the yips, they can afflict golfers under any circumstance. Most often, the condition arises as the result of a neurological “focal dystonia,” which provokes involuntary movements around specific actions. To date, the yips have proven exceedingly difficult to diagnose and treat.
The new TYCHE T1 Putting Trainer is the first training system that promises to help you defeat the yips. It is also an ideal product for anyone who simply wants to refine and perfect a problematic putting stroke. A bundled system that includes three interactive components, the TYCHE T1 Putting Trainer gives golfers access to a range of movement guidance and ball-interference exercises.
The product’s base unit provides a solid green surface on which to putt and contains hardware to support optoelectronic sensor data micro-processing that follows both ball and club. It also supports El-RandomBOX technology to eliminate yips-severity fluctuation. The TYCHE T1 Putting Trainer also includes a Sensor S1 to track putting stroke motion and wirelessly transmits data to a its third component – a virtual Smart Coach on your mobile device.
