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.
Shoulder Muscles. The deltoids are the muscles of your shoulder, which play a crucial role in rotating your arm. Strengthening these muscles will help you put more force in your wind-up, allowing you to throw the ball harder. Among the most effective shoulder-strengthening exercises are the standing military press, seated dumbbell press and upright rows.
