Colin Morikawa’s tee-shot starts with a very tidy address

SportLocation Golf Desk · 22 Sept 2026

Colin Morikawa’s driver swing is built from a wide, stable setup: feet planted, hands quiet and the clubhead parked neatly behind the ball.

Colin Morikawa’s tee-shot starts with the bit that matters most: the address. He stands wide, bends from the hips and sets the driver squarely behind the ball, with very little wasted movement before the swing begins.

That stillness gives the rest of the motion its shape. Once the club goes back, the body turns cleanly and the finish is balanced, but the key detail is the calm start — a simple, repeatable setup that leaves the strike looking organised from the first frame to the last.
