In my humble opinion it might be a good device for one type of swing. But, again in my humble opinion, that type of swing is not the best for most amateurs and especially for seniors.
Although I do like aids, I'm not a big fan of the type of aids that restrict movement.
In the video in this ad, the golfer has his shoulders moving on too flat of a plane. His arms then follow his shoulder plane. My solution would not be to force his arms closer to his body, but to get his shoulder plane corrected and then to get his arms to swing on a more upright plane.
Forcing his arms closer to his body on the follow through might make him get the club face closed, but he'll most likely end up hitting pulls. And then what happens when the device is removed? Unless the shoulder plane is fixed and he learns to move his arms on a correct plane, he's going to go back to swinging the way that he did in the past.
No device is going to fix your swing. You are not going to strap this thing on for a few practice sessions and suddenly go from slicing to hitting it straight.
Improvement in golf takes time and an understanding of the correct fundamentals that match your swing.
