Transferring motor skills in golf

greenspun.com : LUSENET : APA Division 47 Exercise and Sport Psychology : One Thread

I am a 9 handicap golfer and recently have developed something close to the yips at the top of my swing. I know exactly what I am doing wrong, the problem is I have been working on the same thing for 9 months and havent been able to replace the old motor skill with the new motor skill. I have tried everything- eyes closed, slow motion, dolphining tech....it just won't transfer when I take a normal rhythmic swing. What is the best way to transfer or replace an acquired motor skill with a new one? Thanks.
