I've been interested about Ernie's issues with his putting over the past year, just watching the European Tour Dubai Desert Classic and the Big Easy seems to be going pretty well.

If you didn't know he's struggled with the 'Y*ips' (must not be named) on the green especially close putts (there's a video going around where he is literally gimme distance and just pushes it wild right).

Judging by his score so far today & recent performances he's coming back, this is an interesting read too... http://www.golfdigest.com/story/ernie-els-may-have-found-fix-for-yippy-putting-stroke

I personally went to left arm low putting at the start of last summer, admittedly partly due to Jordan's success, but boy am I glad its paid dividends since and its one of my most improved parts of the game. It's interesting to see this method slowly becoming more and more popular, and one wonders if its not long before every newcomer will be taught to putt left arm low.

I saw this for the first time the other week - maybe not worth watching if you are already a nervous putter!

@ZappyAd I get a cold chill down my spine every time I watch it, but I think he did it more then once...hence the change

That is classic example of a yip . People describe it but I don't think I seen a professional do it.  

No wonder he went cross handed
