Justin Thomas spoke to the media at the WM Phoenix Open, where he was asked about the changes he has made to his swing to try to get back to winning form.
Over the years or in my career I feel like I’ve um I mean my dad will be the first to tell you and and I will too now as I I chase perfect maybe a little bit too much or it’s just a tendency I think a lot of us have uh maybe not
Necessarily perfect but wanting your swing to look a certain way and I felt like my hands were really really start I mean I’ve always had high hands but I felt like they were just creeping a little too much I just felt like it it was something that was uh I just kind of
Needed to Monitor and so I wanted to just try to get him a little bit lower and um and because of that I I ended up doing it off of the ball and instead of at the top so I just would basically suck it inside get my hands away inside
And then my club would get really steep going back and then because of that I had to lay it down to get it on a good plane and it just was I mean I look back at videos from last year and I’m not surprised that I played as
Inconsistently as I did because I I said it last year I mean I I I really do feel like I I have good enough hands to make it work you know a couple days a week but it’s just completely unrealistic to do that for four days uh and as good as
The players are out here I think it’s um I I was making it very hard on myself but honestly it was after the British Open uh obviously a very long flight home I really just was looking at current videos old videos I mean I have
A a folder on my phone of you know all my favorite swing videos over the years and and ones that I like the most and I really couldn’t fathom or understand how I got that far off so uh just trying to yeah kind of like you said get back into
Some old habits some some things that maybe I don’t like how it looks as much but just that’s in my DNA that’s that makes me who I am and um and yeah it’s taken and still is a lot of golf balls to get that muscle memory back and and
Get it in a in a spot that I’m comfortable with but uh I I sure like this version a lot better
