Watch Viktor Hovland's takeaway. Notice anything?

Viktor Hovland’s recent practice focus after the U.S. Open has centered on a specific takeaway change meant to improve his shot shape. Coming off missing the cut by one on Friday, he spent significant time on the range refining the move before his swing, with guidance tied to what the article describes as the mechanism of his takeaway. The takeaway is highlighted as a key swing element that can go wrong when golfers either rely too much on body movement or allow excessive wrist action, leading to issues such as wobble, slices, or an overly open face. Hovland’s tendency, according to the piece, is to over-flex his lead wrist and “bow it” too much, which closes the clubface early and forces him to compensate. After working on a flatter wrist at Shinnecock, he arrived at the Travelers Championship sharp, led the field in SG: Off The Tee, and won.
