Either a stub or a skull.
Basically, I try to hinge and hold and make contact with the leading edge. Kind of a pinch it. Used to be great at this as a youth.
Now I either stub the ground because I jump/lunge at it or spaz out somehow and come in too high, resulting in a skull. It's the oddest feeling. I lose control of my rhythm/hands in the backswing and I can't stop myself.
It is straight up the yips.

what are your misses?
Most of the time it falls like this:
If I try to Stricker them and keep a firm wrist then I hit them thin
If I try to hinge and hold then I hit them fat

Sounds like the bottom of your swing is behind the ball. Fats and thins

That sounds better than reality.
It's the yips, man. Full blown, 100% chip yips. I'm thinking about chipping cross-handed. Not even kidding

Hinge and hold is supposed to allow for a bit of variance with impact point to some extent. The hold allows the face to retain its angle for a longer period of time through the impact zone.

Rewatch the Phil YouTube video. It's only about 20 minutes on hinge and hold.
Maybe you'll pick up a cue to get some confidence back

I just need to take everything out of one pocket and put it in the other. Then turn my hat around backwards.

Phil. Secrets to the short game. Have watched it 2-3 times. Game has improved.

this works for me. Set up as Phil says. The secret is interpretation. But if you are a good lob wedge player, just make sure and set up narrow stance, use the backward "K," (right-hander) have right knee in toward target, feet in cement.
I hope it helps.

This sounds exactly like me around the greens. When I'm practicing at the chipping green I can chip it high or low and spin it or let it roll out. When I get on the course it's an entirely different story. As my brother-in-law would say. I have the "touch of a rapist" around the greens.

If you can handle a British accent, I have hearing loss so the accent is hard for me to understand unless I turn the volume up, but give Danny Maude a try on You Tube. He is one of the best "video based Instructors I've seen. I've been playing golf for 54 years now, and he's my goto when I get the yips in any part of my game.

I’m either feast or famine myself. I have been drilling into my mind the following: actually rotate your lower body instead of being stiff, keep your arms relatively quite once you start swinging and DO NOT decelerate which is my biggest issue. Short game is like shooting free throws in basketball. You have to practice practice practice. But even with the most practice it can absolutely be mental.
