Kev, I just got out of a mini case of the chip yips, myself. What helped me was watching the hands peripherally as opposed to watching the clubhead peripherally. Address , Top , Finish. The three Stations. The travel from one Station to another is Hand travel, not clubhead. When you're monitoring the Hands instead of the clubhead it makes it way harder to throw the clubface at the ball. Thank goodness.
In Basic Motion , Homer said to start without a club at first , then with a club. Its the Hands you are swinging, ideally. Its impossible to swing the clubhead when there isnt a club in your hands! He also said that if you arent getting all you want out of your shots despite your knowledge of alignments ..........."Stop monitoring the clubhead instead of the hands".
I could kick myself for not figuring this out earlier. It was a concept I had known intellectually but not taken to heart. How Homer figured this one out is beyond me. All you ever get in golf magazines is "keep your eye on the ball". Homer qualified it with the Aiming Point concept, looking fore or aft of the ball to great advantage and watching the hands peripherally as opposed to the clubhead.
He was sensory based, Homer was. Im talking vision here but it goes oh so well with the touch , Lag Pressure awareness its sustainment and the direction there of (deliver path).

Thanks guys. I used to live off of my chipping and short pitches, I had to. Somewhere I made a wrong turn, but Im back , touch wood. And when I do the above it looks and feels so sweet. My brother who has witnessed the whole thing over the course of our last few games said............"thats like a Lynn Blake shot".
High praise indeed.
Try it out and let me know if it works for you guys. I got a feeling it will.

Homer was a genius.
