🛠️ Justin Thomas’s 2025 WITB: Precision Meets Power
🪓 Driver: Titleist GT2 10°, Mitsubishi Diamana Prototype shaft
JT’s big stick of choice in 2025 is the new Titleist GT2, a low-spin missile launcher that’s as sleek and unforgiving as a country club divorce attorney. Paired with the Mitsubishi Diamana Prototype shaft, this combo is built for elite ball speed and surgical control — exactly what you need when you're trying to nuke a fairway while dodging deep rough and emotional scarring from a 2023 slump. Thomas isn’t just swinging hard; he’s swinging smart. This setup keeps spin down, flight penetrating, and JT’s name near the top of the leaderboard.
🌲 3 Wood: Titleist TS3 15°, Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Blue 85TX shaft
Ah yes, the TS3. Old faithful. While some players upgrade every season like they're shopping for Teslas, JT keeps this one in the bag for a reason — it just works. With a 15° loft and the beefy Tensei AV Raw Blue 85TX shaft, this club is his fairway finder and off-the-deck bomber. The raw blue profile adds a mid-launch, mid-spin balance, which is just code for: “JT can hit high fades into greens that make grown caddies cry.” If you’re looking to copy a club from his bag, this one’s a hell of a candidate. It’s his utility knife wrapped in horsepower.
🪵 5 Wood: Titleist 915 Fd 18°, Fujikura Motore Speeder VC 9.2X shaft
Wait, a 915 Fd? From 2015?! Yes, JT is still bagging a club that was released when people thought hoverboards were the future. Why? Because it’s a nuke on a stick. This 18° canon is weighted just right, and paired with the Fujikura Motore Speeder VC 9.2X, it produces a spin-killing, fairway-scorching flight that gets more airtime than a LIV Golf rumor. He uses this mostly off the tee on tighter par 4s or when the wind’s up and he needs a punchy flight. It’s got old soul magic and a shaft stiff enough to double as a javelin.
🪛 Irons: Titleist T200 (4), T100 (5), 621.JT (6-9), True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts
JT’s iron setup is a gapping nerd’s dream. Starting with a T200 4-iron for that blend of distance and forgiveness, he transitions to a T100 in the 5-iron — a buttery middle ground — and then drops the hammer with custom 621.JT blades from 6-iron onward. That’s right, he has his own damn model. These irons are made for one thing: laser beams. They’re milled so tight you could slice a tomato on the sole. And with X100 shafts throughout, they’re built to handle his aggressive transition and late release. These things don’t just hit greens — they make pitch marks you could lose a finger in.
🧂 Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM10 46° (10F), 52° (12F), 56° (14F), 60° (04T), True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 (46°), S400 (52°–60°)
JT's short game toolbox is Vokey to the core. The 46° is basically a strong PW — a transition club from his 9-iron to wedge setup — and gets the trusty X100 shaft. The rest go S400, slightly softer, to allow for more feel and touch around the greens. The 60° with the 04T grind is the wild child of the bunch: low bounce, tons of versatility, perfect for flops, skidders, and the occasional “how the hell did that stop?” JT doesn't just hit wedges; he paints with them. And with this combo, he's wielding four brushes that turn bunkers and tight lies into galleries.
🎯 Putter: Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 Tour Prototype, SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol Tour
This is JT’s wand — the blade he uses to cast birdie spells and break hearts on Sunday. The Phantom 5 Tour Proto is a tour-only masterpiece, custom-built for JT's eyes and stroke shape. It’s a compact mallet with alignment for days and stability through the arc. Wrapped in a SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol Tour grip, it’s tuned for feel without sacrificing firmness. When JT starts rolling it well, greens feel like Velcro and holes look like buckets. The putter’s been clutch in his 2025 resurgence — finally syncing up with a retooled putting routine that emphasizes tempo over torture.
🏐 Ball: Titleist Pro V1x
JT’s trust in the Pro V1x remains unshaken. This ball is built for high-speed, high-spin, high-control shot-making. Off the tee, it carries like a Tesla Plaid on a runway. Into the greens, it drops and stops like a mic. It’s the perfect pairing for his steep swing and elite short game — high launch, tight dispersion, and soft touch. It’s a tour ball with bite, and JT chews through scorecards with it.
✋ Grips: Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord
JT's choice here is all about feel and feedback. The Tour Velvet Cord is gritty enough for the humid Southern events and provides the control he demands under pressure. There's no slipping, no second-guessing, and no excuses. These grips are for grown men with calluses and majors.
🔮 Thomas’s Prospects at the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow
As the 2025 PGA Championship tees off at Quail Hollow, Thomas enters the fray with a blend of experience and determination. The course's demanding layout poses challenges, but Thomas's strategic acumen and shot-making prowess could see him navigate "The Green Mile" with finesse.
Though not among the top favorites, Thomas's history of defying odds serves as a reminder that he thrives when least expected. With a well-honed arsenal of clubs and an unyielding competitive spirit, he could very well script another memorable chapter in his storied career.
