Rory McIlroy's key to re-unlocking his golf swing?
Putter grips on his 7-iron and lob wedge.
McIlroy was spotted on the range at Bellerive hitting **** with Flat Cat putter grips attached at 45-degree angles to both clubs. He explained to Golf Channel's Kira Dixon on Thursday that his right arm was staying too straight in the backswing and was getting too far across the line at the top, not supporting the club like it should.
"I was trying to save it a lot," said McIlroy, who is coming off his worst finish in a no-cut tournament, a 66th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he ranked ahead of just three of the 68 other competitors in strokes gained off the tee and 35th in strokes gained approach.
The putter grips serve as a training aid for McIlroy's right hand, helping him get the feel of where the club needs to be hallway back, which then corrects everything else. McIlroy discovered the solution with his instructor Michael Bannon upon returning home last Sunday evening.
