Justin Thomas’s swing

Thomas is playing nicely at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open. He has 14 PGA Tour victories, as a result, making him one of the best professionals of all time. Justin is very well known for his big-hitting off the tee and does it with ease. The 28-year-old was also part of the 2021 Ryder Cup-winning team, team USA at Wisconsin.

Justin has an elegant yet powerful golf swing. For a not so physically well-built person, he hits it a long way down the fairway and generates most of his power from the ground. Let’s try to break the Americans golf swing.

Justin has a nice set up with an upright posture with the shoulders parallel to the target line. His feet are shoulder-width apart. Thomas has a strong takeaway and fully rotates to the right side, with a huge shoulder turn.  He shifts his whole weight onto the right side enabling him to generate power in his downswing.

Now on to his downswing, this is the part where he generates his power from and hits it miles. The downswing starts with transferring the weight onto the left side. The thing to notice is his belt buckle. How he rotates the belt buckle through the ball and pushes hard up through the ground with his feet and clearing his left side.

After turning into the left side he just lets the club fall and hit through the ball keeping his head down. As a result, making his swing is probably one of the technically sound ones.
