Jon Rahm’s driver swing is built on one clean move

SportLocation Golf Desk · 22 Sept 2026

Jon Rahm goes from a settled address to a full, committed release, with the finish showing how much speed he keeps through the ball.

Jon Rahm’s driver swing is at its most telling in the middle of the move. He starts with a quiet address, then turns the club all the way back before unwinding hard through impact.

What stands out is the way Rahm keeps the motion connected: the hands stay in front of the body, the club comes through fast, and the finish is held rather than snatched at. That gives the swing its shape and its force.

The result is a tee-shot action that looks controlled even at full pace. Rahm’s weight is already forward by the end, with the trail foot up and the body facing down the fairway.
