Colin Morikawa’s finish says plenty

SportLocation Golf Desk · 15 Sept 2026

Colin Morikawa’s driver swing is all about the high, balanced finish, with the club wrapped over his shoulder and his weight fully on the lead side.

Colin Morikawa’s driver swing is shown in its cleanest form at the finish. By the time the club has wrapped over his shoulder, his weight has already moved onto the lead side and the body is fully committed through the shot.

That high finish is the point of the sequence. The hands stay controlled, the chest keeps turning and the club exits on a tidy line rather than collapsing across the body.

Earlier in the clip, Morikawa is set side-on over the ball with the driver grounded and the eyes fixed on the tee. It is a simple setup, but it leads into a full, committed strike rather than a tentative poke.

The result is a compact tee-shot picture: address, turn, release and a balanced end position. The last frame is the one that matters most, because it shows the swing completed properly and the club held high above the shoulder.
