The worst thing that can happen to any golfer is a severe case of yips. It can be a maddening affliction that makes many golfers want to quit the game they love. Fortunately, there is a way to cure the yips. Jim Waldron has developed a system proven over and over again to be very effective at completely and quickly eliminating the root causes of the yips. By dealing with all four root causes from the outset, progress is rapid and permanent.

Jim will show you why you yip in the first place, how to use your conscious mind mental focus in a way that makes it virtually impossible to yip, how to shift your emotional state from a negative to a positive in just a few seconds, and how simple mechanical changes will make your brain use new “yip-free” neuromuscular pathways to perform the swing or stroke.

His mind/body connection approach has a 99.5% success rate with students using the in person instruction option, and a 94% success rate for students who choose the real time webcam/online program. Fixing your yips permanently is indeed possible.

Jim works with golfers with all types of yips. Chipping yips and short game yips are the most common type, with full swing yips and driver yips a close second. Jim also has cured scores of golfers with putting yips, pitching yips and bunker yips.

Jim can work with you in person or remotely via webcam.

What Jim's students are saying about his Yips instruction...

"I have struggled with putting yips for about 2 decades. I tried various methods, but never found any real consistency in both competitive and recreational play. However, over the course of this year, the lessons with Jim have absolutely transformed the way I approach putting and cured my long-standing yips. After implementing Jim's method, I went from shooting mid-high 70s to a 64 and 66 in the last couple weeks! I can confidently say putting is a weapon now and I really look forward to stepping on the green."      Zach G, East Hampton, NY

"Where do I begin? I didn’t pick up golf until my late 30s (now 55). I took a few early lessons and was playing decent golf—mid- to low-80s—but felt my swing was free, loose, and on track to becoming a scratch golfer. Somewhere along the way, though, I took a wrong turn—probably influenced by golf magazines promising “game improvement” and longer drives. That started a long, frustrating journey. For nearly 10 years, my swing made Charles Barkley look like Rory McIlroy. Being aDIY person, I was convinced it was purely mechanical and tried everything—countless training aids and fixes—but nothing worked.

About a year ago, I decided enough was enough. The bad swing was taking a physical toll, draining me mentally, and stealing the joy from a game I once loved. I made a choice: fix it for good—or quit.

After a few days of searching online, I came across Jim. His website and testimonials convinced me to give it a try. From our

"Jim Waldron of Balance Point Golf Schools could be the most interesting and compelling of the coaches I've ever spoken to..."     Fred Greene, host of the most popular golf instruction podcast on the web, GolfSmarter

"I started playing golf at the age of 35 and I am now in my 60’s.   Over the years I have sought to gain a thorough understand of the golf swing and develop my technique to execute a consistent and repeatable golf swing motion.   While I could score well at times, I was confused by all of the conflicting information I acquired through instructors, videos on the internet, books and magazine articles.  I never felt that I really understood how all the components of the swing should come together and how to swing correctly.   I was extremely frustrated and often discouraged because I love the game and wanted to gain some degree of mastery.  After spending two days with Jim, reviewing his videos and reading his book, all of the confusion and mystery has gone away and I have experienced dramatic improvement.   Jim is truly a master instructor who provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the not only all the elements of the golf swing and how they should be blended together, but also the importance and application of the “mind-body connection” specifically to my tendencies.  I have been able to enhance and improve the consistency of my ball striking through developing not only my physical skills, but as importantly, my mental approach to learning, practicing and playing the game.  I now have the ability to play with confidence under the pressure of completion.  If you are serious about understanding the golf swing and how to the play the game at a dramatically higher level with a clear understanding of how to do so, I high recommend working with Jim."       Larry G, Scottsdale, AZ

"Everything is working here Jim. My iron play is tremendous, my drives are prodigious, as well as my 50 yards and in game. I am 74 years old so I can’t hit 290-yard drives but I did hit one 250 today.

When I got this move down, I started working on my turn and leg motion. I now have the swing I did before my ankle injury in 1977. I came full circle. God bless you, my friend. If it hadn’t been for you and your brilliant mind, I would have never been able to fulfill that 47-year-old dream of mine."     Mark K. Paris, IL (referring to the Arm Swing Illusion)

"Jim, I know you hate marketing, but I’m going to scream this from the mountain tops. Look at these stats from before and after Thursday’s lesson! An additional 18 yards of Driver Carry from one hour with you. You realize I could show this at my club and have you 10 new clients in minutes! Yes, the million dollar surge charges seems more than fair! And I know there’s easily another 20 yards to be had as I clean up grip and sway!!"     Royce K. Philadelphia, PA

"I have been suffering from the full swing yips (think Charles Barkley) for roughly 10 years. At one point I was a 4 handicap. As a linear and logical thinker I tried to reason my way to a cure even though I knew it was a totally mental issue. I came across a podcast video of Jim talking about curing the yips. At my wits end I arranged a day and a half one on one session with Jim which I just completed. Jim gave me the strategy and mental program to put the yips in the past where they belong. I am excited to play the game again and see my 9 handicap work its way down. Jim has a positive teaching style and has the ability to make concepts understandable. I would recommend Jim to anyone for help but especially to those golfers suffering from the frustration of the yips."      Barry B. Seattle, WA
