Colin Morikawa’s range work starts with a tidy address

SportLocation Golf Desk · 12 Sept 2026

Colin Morikawa’s clip is all about the first move: a balanced setup, a quiet takeaway and a repeatable top of the swing.

Colin Morikawa is shown in the sort of range routine that rewards patience rather than drama. He starts from a neat address position, feet set, head down and the club resting close to the ball before the swing builds from there.

The interest is in how little is wasted. The takeaway is compact, the turn is controlled and the club reaches a high, coiled top without any obvious rush. That gives the motion a clean shape, which is exactly what practice work is meant to preserve.

By the time he comes through to the finish, the swing has stayed organised from start to end. It is not a shot about ball flight or a result; it is about the sequence itself, and the discipline of repeating it on the range.
