Justin Thomas
Top golfer Justin Thomas just has a new driver in the bag at this week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind. This happened just when it seemed like an odd time late in a major-winning season.
This is the first Titleist’s new driver for Thomas, who won the 2020 World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. For those who don’t know, Titleist first brought the TSR drivers out on TOUR at the Travelers Championship, which Thomas had to, unfortunately, withdraw owing to a back injury.
“The biggest difference is the spin,” Thomas said after his first-round 67 in Memphis, as quoted by the PGA Tour Website. “When I feel it, it doesn’t spin crazy high and when I toe it, it’s somehow spinning a little more. It’s unbelievable in terms of misses.”

“Don’t like when I can’t see a lot of face”
The Kentucky native Thomas is currently using a 10-degree Titleist TSR3 with a Mitsubishi Diamana ZF 60 TX driver. The head is on the D1 setting, which takes three-quarters of a degree of loft off the face which decreases the loft as Thomas prefers.
“I like it being a little bit open,” Thomas said. “I don’t like when I can’t see a lot of face because then I feel like I have to get it up in the air and then I start getting underneath it and that gets the two-way miss going. I feel like when I’m driving it my best, although I like to work it both ways, I feel like I aim at something and rip it and it goes pretty straight and falls right. Kind of letting the openness in the club let it fade a little bit.”
