Warming Up With Justin Thomas

How does Justin Thomas warm up for a tournament round? What does he do to hit a fade? How ‘bout a hook? What does he do to pick up extra speed? And what’s the iron shot he remembers the most? He joins GOLF's Dylan Dethier from the range at Panther National, Thomas’ brand-new course design, to hang out and handle some questions.

This is the type of thing golf sickos want to see: uncut, unfiltered range sessions. Going through the bag, explaining shots, this was phenomenal. Shoutout to Dylan for the great hosting as well. Would love to see more of these!

5:37 very true. Some of the best rounds of golf I have ever played

[JacquesPenisson]

What a guy! Justin Thomas is pure class!

As a weekend single digit hdcp, this was the best video I’ve seen.

At 12:00 he goes into a takeaway / one piece wide strike routine. He says he could play a round like this, but doesnt. Its because he's reached a point where he feels the nuances of the golf swing.

I am pointing this out because in the real world, with people that don't hit 500 balls a day, every day, this is a great way to warm up and play if you are a mid to high handicapper looking for more consistency. Half of the playing lessons I give to higher handicaps consist of a simplistic swing to show them that controlling the club head, tempo and turn will give you more opportunities for pars and birdies than being hyper aggressive and trying to play by feel and playing fancy shots.

I wish youtube viewers understood a couple simple things:

There are no 'quick fixes' and 'secret moves' to make you 'always' or 'every time'. The secret to golf is work. And the work has to be specific. If you don't pick something specific to do, you cant gauge how much you achieved or missed by.

That what the pros do isnt really what the average golfer should do. Good golf can be played simply. And until you can play simple, every time, the advanced moves only make you do the wrong things. The best case in point is 'sitting to shallow' vs 'limiting the back swing'. Its the bane of my existence as my clients get better. When the swing gets 'bigger/longer' its far more complicated to get back into the right positions in the down swing.

Thanks for the video

You know what's wild? I completely forgot Dustin Johnson existed until he said "DJ" around 17 minutes.

Also, dude name drops Nicklaus, Tiger, and Jordan. Who else is friends with that many GOATs?

[teammusky]

What iron's does JT use I wonder?

[GolfOnTap]

Pro Am with JT would be amazing. How does one make that happen?

[alesanaulu]

We are sick sick people🤪😜 this is what we want to see 100% of the e time

[MotivLifter]

Is it me or is he using his 60 with the ball aligned with the back foot?

[jllymonstr]

I really like JT. Not during Ryder Cup week though 🇪🇺

[bryan]

Whats with the editing and it being so dark...

[rooboy]

jt must have to do so much more gym and recovery work compared to a unit like DJ to keep that high club speed

[daverichard]

Tiger wants to know if JT got BBQ sauce w those chicken 🍗 legs 👍🎯🇨🇦5️⃣⭐️
