Rickie Fowler’s driver swing ends in a tidy, high finish

SportLocation Golf Desk · 19 Sept 2026

Rickie Fowler’s tee-shot sequence is all about control: a settled address, a full turn, and a balanced finish over the lead side.

Rickie Fowler’s driver swing here is built on a simple, readable pattern. He settles over the ball, takes the club back to a full top position and then releases through impact without losing shape.

The best part is the finish. Fowler stays tall on the lead side, with the club wrapped high and the body fully turned to target. That kind of finish usually tells you the swing has stayed connected from start to end.

It is not a showy move. The value is in the sequence: address, coil, strike, balance. The red driver head and white kit make the motion easy to follow, but the real point is the control through the hitting area and the stable end position.
