Broom, belly, arm lock and dozens of ways to grip the putter: I've used all. Not because it would be more successful or easier, but just to be able to play at all! It's only about the physical disability called The Yips. Putting is reading the line and the pace. No equipment model makes that easier. The whole discussion about past and possible banning rules is only about squeezing yip handicapped competitors out of the game. If a standard is necessary, it should be an equipment rule enabling yippers to play. I can already hear the outcry, if arm lock putters of at least 40 inches would be compulsory!
