CN101137418A - Method for teaching a golf swing using simple thought imagery and very limited body awareness - Google Patents

Abstract

A method for teaching a person to effectively swing a golf club includes establishing a pivot line or imaginary plane used by the golfer during both the setup and swing phase of a golf swing. A hand line is established when the person feels when gripping the club. A nose line awareness is created by the natural, vertical line existing between the golfer's eyes. A foot line is also established for the golfer's awareness of releasing or shifting his weight at the proper time. The method emphasizes how these reference lines align relative to the ball during setup and impact and involves first visualizing the pivot line extending beneath the ball and perpendicular to the intended line of flight. The pivot line provides a simple frame of reference for alignment of the club face, hands, feet, waist, head; and a natural plane for the golfer's body to turn and pivot around. At the beginning of each swing the golfer's hand line is aligned straight along the pivot line and his nose line is set behind the pivot line. During his swing, the golfer's thought is to return his hand line straight along the pivot line at impact, and then release his nose line or foot line after his hand line passes the pivot line. Practice aids such as a quick reference guide incorporating the unique mental golf imagery techniques are used to help facilitate learning and actually experiencing the method.

The application requires the priority of the U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/647879 of proposition on January 28th, 2005.

Technical field

The present invention relates to teach golf swing, comprise that those have just known the sportsman that how to participate in this motion and those sportsmen that see service to the sportsman of various technical merits.Please note that the description and the accompanying drawing that present are suitable for right-handed golfer here.

Background technology

Usually, train someone to impact golf and need teach a series of skills to him.These skills comprise:

How to hold club;

Erect-position when Grounding and posture;

Position with respect to the ball of people's erect-position;

Upper boom; And,

To follow-through (forward swing) or direct (through swing).

Anyly spent the people of some time these motions of trial learning to begin very soon to recognize that too many different professor's method is arranged.In a large amount of different books, magazine, TV programme, video recording and DVD, diverse ways is flattered greatly.The good form that swings, good club shaft brandished the plane, good health rotation, maintenance hand, arm, the synchronous basic conceptions such as (steps) of stern has been carried out classification to most of professor's methods.Because the countless method of available information content and appearance is easy to make the people what should be done to them and their how do i becomes puzzled.Even professor's method of claiming is easy to learn and easy application, the result is not like this.Last result especially for the people of the golf of beating once in a while, is endlessly to baffle back and forth.Pointed out once as someone that golf was spontaneous activity, like this, should be pleasant experience.Yet, for many people, be not like this.This point will be described below:

The anonymous author's of free translation words, in case the sportsman has grasped holding rod and erect-position, in of short duration two seconds intervals that swing, all he what must remember is to keep its left elbow to point to left stern, and its RAR and than the more close health of left arm, then, when he begins it when swinging action, drive the bar head through its right knee, and subsequently just left arm still behind ball the suitable moment of a direct acting separate wrist; Right arm stops and nestles up health, and buttocks is walked around in the circle of standard.Therebetween, his weight must 60% on the right crus of diaphragm and 40% on left foot.Just at suitable point, its left knee is towards the action bending of its right knee to drag, and is still not far up to the left heel built on stilts in rotation.Both hands must be crossed right crus of diaphragm, but it is not many than crossing heel to cross toe, unless the left side built on stilts of right crus of diaphragm is still not far.When finishing upper boom, both hands height and club shaft are pointed to (and if slope, shaft also should be the sensing of tilting) along the line that is parallel to ground.Now, suspend and a several number in the top of swing.Then, the wrench left arm is always downwards just as chimes master's belfry rope of wrenching, but do not allow wrist put down too early, and spurs left stern and walk around in the garden, but do not allow both shoulders rotate with buttocks, because they must face match play.At this moment, 60% of transfer weight keeps 40% at right crus of diaphragm simultaneously to left foot.Side by side, the left foot that tilts now makes that its right side is straight, because you should impact firm left side.Remembeing to note left hand, should be that stretch rather than stiff, otherwise batting can not play any effect.Equally, do not allow hand fluff otherwise you will hit Draw.Allow wrists uncock, but do not force them, otherwise you will suppress to bat; And separately wrist too early still will not keep head to impact ball downwards then.

From above-mentioned recognizing, most of linksmans, comprise world-class sportsman from other sports events, when they require to learn to keep their head downward, left arm stretches, the right hand enlivens, and when brandishing club, they begin to stand a large amount of setbacks to make great efforts the conventional plane that swings (plane or two planes that swing), edge.By comparison, method of the present invention is all learnt easily for the linksman of all technical merits and is grasped, particularly the newcomer of this motion.Also greatly reduce study and kept the good desired practice periods of golf.Though this method does not guarantee to bat or impacts all is perfectly at every turn,, uses identical method by each golf ball-batting and produce acceptable result really for the linksman of all technical merits.

Summary of the invention

Be called " the magic line of golf ^TM" the present invention be a kind of method of greatly simplifying golf teaching.The advantage of this method is to be suitable for thing with a large amount of professor linksman thinkings and reduces to and be no more than two or three.Use the method, the student can learn the reference line determined apace, can use then they promptly be absorbed in from the driver full shot to the golf each time that comes the short distance push rod with push rod.

Especially, the linksman learns pivot line plane (pivotal axis consciousness), grip line (hand line consciousness), head position (De Salle's line consciousness) and weight and shifts (toe line consciousness).Use these simple notions, linksman's ball position, grip alignment, erect-position and posture can automatically be felt and know.Actual hand (club) brandish and with the relevant thinking processes that swings, thereby can reduce to the several key awareness points that only keep being absorbed in seldom.Therefore, being absorbed on the ideological and health of linksman can be greatly dwindled in the use of this method, only be absorbed in the reference line of core seldom, just sportsman's " toe line " consciousness that also can easily feel of " pivotal axis " consciousness, " hand line " consciousness that the sportsman can easily feel, " De Salle's line " consciousness that the sportsman can easily feel and the sportsman on imaginary plane easily.In addition, these core reference lines can be readily incorporated into the thinking that swings of two or three keys, allow the linksman from thinking deeply the conventional mechanics and impacting the moment of golf of swinging oneself to be separated.

Brain, eye, hand and lower trunk that method importantly of the present invention is got in touch the linksman in collaborative mode.In case these natural reference lines are used in golfer understands and experience and the thinking that swings, they begin to form basic sensation and repeat golf.These core reference lines are used on golf course any position and any state gets golf swing, all cause acceptable result.Similarly, method of the present invention has the advantage of greatly simplifying the mode of the complexity of normally teaching golf, and along with the past of time, the thinking that swings of core becomes effective spontaneous enlightenment.

Other purpose and feature will partly occur hereinafter and point out.

The specific embodiment

Following describing in detail by example rather than by restriction shows the present invention.This specification makes those skilled in the art's (being the golf professional) can obtain and use the present invention significantly, and described a plurality of embodiments of the invention, reorganization, distortion, replacement and use, comprised that present inventor thinks to implement best way of the present invention.Owing to can carry out various changes to said structure under the prerequisite that does not depart from the scope of the present invention, hope is included in above-mentioned specification or demonstration content in the accompanying drawings should be thought example rather than restriction.

As formerly replenishing, following description and accompanying drawing are applicable to right-handed golfer.For left-handed golfer, accompanying drawing will be opposite.

According to the present invention, the method that is used for teaching golf swing of the present invention adopts four basic reference lines and they is attached to two or three keys target that swings.With reference to figure 1, the first reference line is the bar visual line, is called pivotal axis PL, and the linksman can easily imagine this line when it swings.When golf, generally accepted be when club along the leap line of expectation when brandishing, golf ball B is the accident in the club head route only.Yet proof is compared the linksman and is faced the actual action of making when impacting golf that swings well, and it can make the action that swings different, that more loosen, that practise.The method according to this invention is recalled or absorbed golf is got back to the thinking consistent with imaginary plane imagination and replaced by brandishing both hands, and imaginary plane is called pivot line plane PLP.Pivot line plane be arrive ball at batting moment pole face this point from ground upwardly extending vertical plane.This is linksman's the absorbed natural plane of eyes, and health will will steadily return this plane in the moment of batting around its pivot and both hands.

With reference to figure 1, next bar line of Shi Yonging is called hand line HL in the method again.When holding golf clubs, the sportsman can feel line HL in one's hands naturally.Hand line consciousness is when holding club, holds the line that closes formation or the sensation of joint close at both hands finger and palm.Can understand described hold can be any hold that the linksman uses, and thinks that typically these are interlocking, overlapping or Vardon grip, and baseball style or ten finger grips.Because these holds widely known to, no longer describe in detail.Yet, usually for suitable hold, when club is held, when the linksman from last, usually can see two or three articulations digitorum manus of his left hand, and the thumb of left hand just is in the right side of handle.When the right hand was placed on the club, handle leaned against in the finger and palm of the right hand, and the thumb of the right hand usually points to linksman's right side shoulder.When holding club, arm hangs down naturally from shoulder, and both shoulders and both hands loosen.About method of the present invention, have been found that hand line notion is effective especially for the people who uses ten finger grips because the right hand its most strength is provided.

Be absorbed in consciousness and feel that hand line HL is the key of method of the present invention.Have been found that linksman's consciousness is dwindled line in one's hands, more important than the path that swings of attempting thinking club head or club.This is because neural the connection arranged between hand line and brain, and is then opposite between club head and the brain, because hand contacts with the handle of club rather than the bar head of club.Correspondingly, the hand line is used for concentrating linksman's thought to one a crucial body part, rather than a large amount of correct body actions.With suitable hold, both hands and club face are aligned with each other suitably, and hand line HL provides natural reference for both hands and club are aimed at the leap line of the expectation of ball.Because both hands control club in golf swing, by being absorbed in the whole action that swings and sensation hand line, being connected of brain and hand can be controlled, and the linksman only need note one or two task now during swinging.In addition, this awareness encourages in upper boom wrist movable naturally, and during follow-through, loosening hand (and club).

Being De Salle's line NL with reference to 1, the three line of figure again, is the reference line of the nature that forms of the nose by the linksman.De Salle's line NL provides simple reference line, and the linksman aims at its head position when addressing by this line, then its head movement of control in whole swinging.The adjustment period between, the linksman adjusts to its De Salle's line the right of pivotal axis PL simply.Normally, this is called when addressing and health is adjusted to " ball back ".According to this method, the linksman is absorbed in its De Salle's line of maintenance NL now in pivotal axis PL back, up to after hand line HL in the follow-through action is through pivot line plane PLP.Then, De Salle's line head for target point loosens naturally.Because people's De Salle's line is located immediately between its eyes, there is no need to allow self to be absorbed in for them to keep head, not look up downwards or head movement how far (side is to the combination of opposite side, upper and lower or these actions) in upper boom.Keep De Salle's line relatively stable (" peace and quiet ") and in the back of pivotal axis by reducing being absorbed in of linksman, after hand line process pivot line plane, the linksman will suitably shift its weight to its right side when upper boom, yet will suitably shift its weight to its left side to follow-through the time.

At last, and and for example shown in Figure 1, the reference line that has bar to form by linksman's right crus of diaphragm, and be called their toe line FL.Toe line FL provides other reference line (except De Salle's line NL), is convenient to that the linksman keeps the back of its weight at ball during swinging.As having De Salle's line, the core that toe line FL awareness can be attached to the linksman swings in the thought to promote the health rotation of nature.

Traditionally, the key component in the path that swings is called score, is shown as TL in Fig. 1.This line defines the direction between ball B and the desired destination point TP.For most of linksmans, swing and be absorbed in that to impact ball with the club brandished be very usual along this score adjustment.In most cases, the result sends into ball the direction of non-expectation.

As formerly stating, and according to the present invention, thinking or absorbed golf are replaced by the thinking imagination of pivotal axis PL.Next, this method requires the linksman to be absorbed in and returns this ideal of its hand line HL along this imaginary line always.As shown in Figure 2, pivotal axis PL is revealed as the vertical line of 90 degree for the leap line (score TL) of expectation.Be presented at pivot line plane PLP directed overshoot line among Fig. 1 vertically pass through ball below, and turn round for health provides the pivot plane axis of nature.In Fig. 2, this plane will extend in the paper and vertical with score from pivotal axis PL.Importantly and for this method uniqueness be, neither the integral part that the also non-golf ball B of score TL is linksman's a mental awareness.More suitably, in the line HL idea, therefore the mode with nature allows its health to follow and turn to its upper boom position to the natural joint close that the linksman is immersed in beginning fully and returns straight its hand along pivotal axis PL, as shown in Figure 3 on the other hand.In follow-through, replaced to be absorbed in and impact golf or swing along score TL, importantly the linksman only thinks deeply and feels swinging and returning of straight hand line HL along pivotal axis now.As shown in Figure 2, the meaning is to bat moment, and hand line HL is parallel to and overlays pivot line PL haply.The idea that initiatively swings by reducing the linksman is to this idea of simply remembeing easily, and impacts the inevitable anxiety that golf (" batting moment ") interrelates and can reduce greatly.By when swinging, adopt this idea always, found that swinging of linksman keeps more loosening and smoothness naturally, also stronger, produce more stable result simultaneously.

Concentrate on these simple reference lines and found to promote naturally better stronger the impacting that reach than alternate manner.For professor's purpose, pivotal axis PL is readily incorporated in the various training servicing units, for example as Fig. 4 and prompting card shown in Figure 6, comprises that the linksman limits its notice to core visible light, core body reference line and core on it task that swings.By using one to remind card in exercise or during real racetrack, the linksman can easily learn and strengthen method of the present invention, because it helps sportsman to be absorbed in the core idea (target) that swings.Its notice of transfer is to the simple positive target that swings from the common mechanics that swings when the linksman learns, and he will promptly begin to experience suitable swinging and feel what kind of is.

Two stages can be decomposed or be divided into to method of the present invention easily.Phase I is the adjusting stage.As shown in Figure 2, when addressing or adjust, hand line HL is set as consistent with pivotal axis PL or pivot line plane PLP.People's De Salle's line NL is located at the back of pivotal axis, and its right toe line FL is firmly settled.The second stage of this method is the stage of swinging.In-order figure as shown in Figure 5, when club earlier backward and upwards then forward and when moving down, the position of hand line HL changes through upper boom with in follow-through.From each situation of the batter's box that addresses, De Salle's line NL is always after pivotal axis.Only at the hand line through pivotal axis (promptly having impacted ball) afterwards, and continue upwards left with setting about line HL, when head when head for target loosens naturally, De Salle's line NL just passes through pivotal axis.

Importantly, compare with the conventional method of professor's golf, the advantage of method of the present invention is that the complexity of all actions that swings reduces to four simple reference lines and two or three targets that simply swing (idea swings).Once more, these address that Shi Qike easily imagines " pivotal axis " in case PL sportsman holds its " hand line " HL that can easily feel of club, the sportsman can easily feel and promote oneself to keep " De Salle's line " NL of the suitable relation of its head and ball and the sportsman can easily feel its weight transfer in whole swinging " toe line " FL the sportsman.Because brains can not be absorbed in too many thing simultaneously, reduce all golf main points to these four main points, linksman's brains is loosened, make the sportsman in whole swinging, begin and keep, thereby produce better result with the state of natural relaxation.

At last, following is width of cloth chart, more common golf professor explanation and the simplified illustration of the method according to this invention.From this width of cloth chart, can see simple pivotal axis, hand line and De Salle's line that all adjustment positions relevant with tradition professor method and the mechanics that swings reduce to this method or payment to a porter consciousness rule.
