Upper Body. The primary muscles in the upper body that are used when performing a golf swing are the shoulders and back muscles. As with all muscles involved in the swing, it is important for the upper-body muscles to be both fit and flexible.
Work on being confident with your release and donât shy away from firing through the ball with that trail arm. There is no doubt that the lead arm is an important element in the golf swing, but donât forget to work on your trail arm positions as well. Only when both arms are working together properly can you achieve a swing that lives up to its potential.
