Обсуждение участника:Sprinter vs. middle distance runner...Yoon Na and Bang Shin-sil seen by 5 experts
If Yuna is a muscular sprinter, B.C. is a middle-distance runner with power and flexibility
"Yoonna is like a car with a high power output, and Bangshin has a relatively good sense of rhythm."
Experts say that Yuna and Bang Shin-sil are expected to have a fierce long-shot battle in the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) tour this season. The swing moves are similar, but they are subtly different. So who will count? In fact, it is difficult to compare Yuna's long-distance shots with Bang Shin-sil. Yoon's average driving distance up to July 2022 when she was a rookie in the KLPGA tour was 263.45 yards, and Bang Shin-sil's average tee shot distance last year was 262.47 yards.
Yoon is leading by 1 yard in the record, but it is impossible to simply compare who is better, as she has played differently in different seasons. However, they both took first place in this category during their debut season, spearheading the "long-shot craze." As for the accuracy of tee shots, Yoon was ranked 65.23 percent (93rd) and Bang Shin-sil (61.34 percent) in the fairway seating rate. For example, they all hit long shots first and then aim for birdie opportunities with short clubs.
In general, experts say that Yuna and Bang Shin-sil are making good use of their ground reaction force. During the impact process, the maximum force is generated through the lever effect by strongly stepping on the ground with the feet. However, there is a slight difference between the two players' movements.
Yuna slightly raised her left foot right after the impact, spun slightly toward the target, and fell backward, but her foot position did not change. Instead, her characteristic is that she slightly lowers her head at the beginning of the downswing and then comes back up to give an impact. There were some differences in experts' interpretations of this.
"Yoon-na seems to jump, and the body room only presses the ground in place, then turns around and bounces fast," Lee said. "However, the principle of using the ground reaction force is the same. It is hard to say which swing is good. It can be seen as the difference in slope."
Kim Ki-hwan, on the other hand, said the difference is that Yuna uses the rotation and uses the reaction force well when the body moves up and down. He said, "Yoona moves her weight to her left heel right after the impact. Because the center of gravity is on her left heel, she throws the club away from the follower to maximize centrifugal force. On the other hand, the body rotates her pelvis toward the target before completing the top of the backswing, bending her left knee slightly, and then grabbing onto the moment of impact. It feels like she is making a strong jump."
There was an opinion that Yuna's posture is lower and wider in the address posture (Kim Hyung-min, Lee Si-woo). Tall Yuna and Bang Shin-sil basically have big arcs, and Choi said, "You may have problems with your control in that case, but it's not a big problem because both players have high swing speed." Hong Hyun-jun also said, "When two players takeout, they move the driver's head first, not their body. This increases the arc."
In addition to the ground reaction, Lee also explained the additional power movements of the two players. "Yoon-na has excellent movement by rotating her lower body first before completing the backswing saw to maximize the X Factor (the angle at which the upper body and lower body are separated from each other when viewed from above)," he said. "The hinge motion of the body room, which strikes with the wrist bent as long as possible, stands out."
