McIlroy<\/a> uses it.\u00a0<\/p>\nSo what is it?<\/p>\n
It’s called The Connector from Sure Golf and it costs \u00a375.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What does it do?<\/p>\n
The training aid helps golfers improve their arm structure and feel a proper body connection throughout the swing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sure Golf also say it helps improve compression control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How do I use it?<\/p>\n
Put the ball between your forearms with the alignment rods on top and think about squeezing it as you make few half swings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You should feel your upper body, core and lower body syncing up almost immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As you get more comfortable, try making bigger swings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why is Rory McIlroy using it?<\/p>\n
McIlroy used The Connector ahead of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The DP World Tour’s social media team caught McIlroy explaining his thoughts to his long-time coach Michael Bannon about how it helps him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the time, McIlroy was also seen using an aid called the ‘G-Snap’, which promotes better wrist position in the takeaway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ‘G-Snap’, McIlroy said, allows him to fully release the club and not miss miles left.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the last couple of years, McIlroy has spoken about how he routinely misses left, particularly with short irons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It led to McIlroy seeking the help of legendary coach Butch Harmon ahead of the 2024 Masters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
