Re: Count Yogi

Count Yogi used a lot of forward wrist action in putting. The amount of forward wrist travel could be adjusted for today's faster greens, I suppose.
Yogi's method was anti-weight shift during the full swing, using instead a lot of shoulder coil and hip turn with the forward heel remaining on the ground. He deemphasized physical aspects of the golf swing, but this was one instance where he did analyze physical motion. The backward pointing of the front knee downward toward the ball enables the back knee to straighten up, allowing the hips to turn without causing bodily sway.
