People with stiff shoulder blades tend to sag at the elbows.
In order to play golf for a long time, it is most important to avoid injury. At the moment of impact, more than one ton of force is exerted, so wrist injuries are inevitable.
To prevent injury, I always stretch my wrists by rotating them, dorsiflexing them, and palmar flexing them after taking a bath.
The hip joints and shoulder blades are also very important. People with stiff shoulder blades tend to have poor swings because their elbows tend to sag. By doing the stretches introduced here, you can make it easier to fold your right elbow inward when you take the backswing, so please try them out.

The hip joint and iliopsoas muscle are extremely important for increasing the distance you can hit the ball. However, the iliopsoas muscle is the hardest to train and stretch, and it is also the muscle that tends to stiffen easily.
If you raise your backswing and then swing as is, you won’t get the distance you want. If you lower your backswing a little and then head towards the impact, you can use the ground reaction force to increase your distance. The important thing at that time is the iliopsoas muscle.
I think your flexibility when bending forward will change by about 10 cm before and after performing the stretches I’m about to introduce.
