How to Train Modern Golf Swing Muscles

The modern golf swing requires a golfer to tap into golf swing muscles to exert more force on the ball at impact.

Here is how you can train your muscles for the modern golf swing.

Instructions

1. Determine the golf swing muscles that are vital to the modern golf swing.

   The modern golf swing is defined by keeping the torso in line during impact instead of the old golf swing that involved more sideways movement in the hips. Training the core and lower back is essential to developing your modern golf swing muscles.

2. Prepare your body for the twisting action of the golf swing.

   The modern golf swing emphasizes coiling your body on the backswing to exert more force against the golf ball. An effective golf swing training method for this twisting action is rotational dumbbell twists.

3. Train your golf swing muscles with twisting resistance.

   Place a dumbbell in each hand, pin your elbows against your ribs, tighten your core golf swing muscles, and twist your torso. As you twist from one side to the other, focus on using your golf swing muscles to move the weight, not momentum.

4. Perform rotational twists for modern golf swing muscles as part of your golf training regimen.

   By preparing your body for the twisting motion of the golf swing, over time you will improve your golf swing strength. This can be an effective golf training technique for golfers that are switching to a more modern golf swing.
