"No bueno": The differences in feel versus real according to Justin Thomas
The PGA Tour star and former FedEx Cup Champion walks us through this key swing thought.
Justin Thomas is one of the best players in the world and the most consistent for a reason.
Thomas practices ridiculously hard and reportedly spends hours on the range and short game area trying to get that little bit better.
The 28-year-old has 14 wins on the PGA Tour to his name including one major championship and was previously ranked the world's best.
He took to Instagram recently to tell his huge social media following the difference in feel versus real when he swings the club.

Thomas is known to have very high hands at the top of his back swing.
He has previously spoken about how having high hands helped generate more distance as he was a short teenager and struggled for distance.
Now whenever someone gets their hands up that high they will invariably expect a JT comparison.
But for Thomas this can lead to a problem as the club gets across the line and he ends up pulling his shots left.
This is particularly troublesome with his driver, it seems.
Watch as Thomas practices a drill trying to get the club more laid off
"The last slide (driver) is a good example of a key for me of showing how "feel" and "real" are two totally different things. A tendency I have once I get to my longer clubs is to get long and across the line at the top which I then get underneath it and goes left (no bueno). So the beginning of that video is me trying to get lots of width with my hands while feeling it "laid off" if anything. The rehearsals never look the same as the real thing!!!! Happy Wednesday everybody"
