Following a noteworthy shift in footwear at the ZOZO Championship in October – from the modern classic style shoe he’s worn his entire professional career to the new HyperFlex Carbon – JT has played in 12 events and earned seven top 10 finishes, including three second place positions and this win.

As the 2024 season started to wind down, JT met with his team to evaluate every aspect of his game from top to bottom. Part of that analysis was his footwear. As someone who understands the important role his footwear plays in how he maximizes ground force interaction, JT and his trainer, Kolby “Wayne” Tullier, evaluated nearly every shoe in FootJoy’s lineup to see if there was one that stood apart.
When they arrived at the HyperFlex Carbon golf shoe, they discovered a significant and surprising improvement in ground force reaction. According to JT and Tullier, HyperFlex allowed JT to explode off his right side. He was able to use his body more efficiently to naturally create more vertical force and his ball speed and overall performance went up significantly….just by finding the right golf shoe.
“This shoe is perfect for me,” said Thomas. “Super comfortable and flexible in the right areas, but also gives me all the support I need to make a strong, confident move on the ball.”
For JT, like many players, footwear testing has become very similar to Driver or Ball fitting -- they are trying to get as much data as they can around how shoes are improving their ability to maximize performance.
Justin Thomas also chooses the Pure Touch® Limited glovefrom FootJoy, the standard in product leadership, innovation excellence and outstanding performance for the discerning player.
