Creative Commons License photo credit: Kevitivity     Putting slumps are quite common and are usually caused by tension, the fear of missing.   Don't mistake this for the Yipps, which are much more serious and experienced by many seniors.

To correct a  temporary putting slump simply relax your putting stroke.   When tension sets in, the tendency is to grip the club  tighter which prevents a smooth stroke.   Every great putter will tell you that they grip the club with an extremely light touch without the least bit of tension in their arms.  

Every  club in your bag  should be  swung with minimal grip pressure, including your putter.   Many amateurs  try to  control the  direction  of the ball and this is when grabbing the club tighter occurs.   Trust your ability to swing the club properly and the rest  will fall  into place.   Thought Key: light grip pressure.
