Recent Swing Mechanism

If I were to write about my golf using the Mandalart planning chart—which became famous because Shohei Ohtani achieved it—one of the extremely important factors to reach my ultimate goal is breaking the 250-meter average driver distance.
An average of 240 meters would allow entry into the top 3 in KLPGA distance (potentially 1st depending on the season),
and an average of 250 meters would allow entry into the lower ranks of the KPGA.
Even so, playing from the blue tees would be possible, so as a pure amateur golfer, I probably wouldn't need to increase my distance beyond that.

Woods (including the driver) and irons/wedges have different purposes.
Woods are clubs that can be swung harder and faster to go further, as long as the swing sequence is correct;
irons/wedges are clubs used to land the ball exactly at a set distance according to the swing sequence internalized in the body.
The driver, the eldest brother of the woods, is a club that gets a perfect score if you swing it faster to go further, provided the swing sequence holds up.
That swing sequence ultimately means even, even, even faster head speed.
As head speed increases, if you match the sequence with faster body movement, the ball goes far in the desired direction.

The actual purpose of writing this post is this Shorts video.
It was already quite famous, but I realized once again that Yoon Suk-min's swing sequence is truly excellent.
As I wrote before, I have been trying to match my swing sequence through external rotation of the pelvis.
On days when the timing was good, I hit long distances in the right direction,
but on days when the timing was off—or even on days when the timing was right but my body grew tired toward the end—I had days where my directionality faltered, resulting in everything from hooks to slices.
In a word, Yoon Suk-min's swing sequence is about 'waiting.'
He doesn't force a swing sequence.
At the top of the backswing, he doesn't try to create a transition that looks like 'dropping the head because it's heavy'; he simply waits.
Therefore, he doesn't lose power during the transition and delivers even less power more fully to the head.
In the past, when I wrote about golf, I saw quite a few comments that felt like a mix of hate and kind advice, saying I should be careful because I might laugh at what I wrote today when I look back on it later.
They were right. While loading more powerful force into the head through external rotation of the pelvis is good, such a movement is not only difficult to stabilize if balance is broken, but it is also a difficult movement to use for irons/wedges.
On the other hand, maintaining a relaxed and smooth transition is a necessary element for any club, so it can be practiced without much issue.
I'll have to test tonight whether what I realized at the driving range is correct.
The season where people go into debt just to get out to the field has quietly arrived.
Don't get injured, and I wish everyone a successful round.
