Robert Rock’s long-iron swing, from set-up to finish

SportLocation Golf Desk · 28 Sept 2026

Robert Rock’s practice swing moves from a settled address into a broad turn and a held finish.

Robert Rock’s long-iron swing unfolds in a single, unhurried sequence on a grassy practice area. He settles over the club, turns his upper body and extends the arms before rotating through to a finish with the club raised near his shoulder.

The movement is easy to follow because the set-up stays compact while the swing opens out around it. Rock’s finish is held long enough to show the turn carried through: his body faces away, his weight is forward and the club rests high across his shoulder line.
