Rory McIlroy has one of the prettiest swings in golf. With a move that’s got equal parts grace and power, he’s got a swing that’s admired by pros and amateurs alike.

McIlroy has made good use of his sweet swing, too. So far in his career, he’s racked up 26 PGA Tour titles, four majors and has appeared on seven European Ryder Cup teams.

His swing isn’t just the product of natural talent, though. Each week, McIlroy is busy working on his swing to make sure he’s finding the right positions to hit the ball just the way he wants.

One of his favorite drills to help him find those positions is the split-hands drill, and in today’s edition of Play Smart, we’re going to show you how it works.
