Justin Thomas’s unique footwork lets him jump during his swing. Younger players see that perfect balance isn’t the only way to excel, especially with vertical ground reaction force. He rotates into a jump, unlike Jordan Spieth, who stays on his left heel. #golf #JustinThomas #footwork #golfswing #sports #athlete
The cool thing these days is you watch some of the footwork. Justin Thomas where he’s coming off the ground. Some of these young guys that are are hitting at, you know, 320. And of course, Scotty Sheffller, you look at his footwork now. Some of the younger players are thinking, well, you don’t necessarily have to finish on balance or have perfect footwork to be number one player in the world. No, you don’t. And uh if I show you Justin Thomas, you’re talking about it. Here he is. And we’ve got uh pressure mat on the right hand side showing things, but you’re going to see this guy really get vertical. Look at him jump. There he is. Look at the right foot. Look at the right foot. But his left foot in one of these frames is almost off the ground there. You can see down here at the bottom of the screen only 7% in his left foot. Well, that’s because he’s pretty much left the ground. Here’s the pressure on the left foot and he’s basically almost levitated. And we just see this. There’s a lot of vertical ground reaction force. He’s midcore, so he’s going to rotate into a pretty good jump. And that’s what a midcore player would do. A Jordan Spath is going to be more in his left heel at impact.

What do you set the red plane line to ? It looks like it matches the impact plane.
