Description

Golf club grip

Technical field

The present invention relates to golf club grip, particularly a kind of golf club grip of architecture advances.

Background technology

Carrying out golf range game will use golf and various golf club with in ball is impacted into the hole away from the teeing ground certain distance from teeing ground.Yet club head is varied, and most of golf clubs comprise the shaft that is connected to club head and are connected to the handle or the lever on this shaft top, so that the people who plays golf can hold and brandish bat.

Typically, the people who plays golf with the hands holds golf club, normally, both hands is abutted one another on the shaft of golf club or near it.Traditionally, the people's who plays golf more unable or non-dominant hand is placed on the top position, and strong or dominant hand just be placed on described left-hand seat below.As everyone knows, the golf of controlling golf generation difference by brandishing of assistant or dominant hand impacts, but, when non-dominant hand and arm control golf, produce strong and accurate golf beating.In order to promote the better sensation of hand on bat, the people who plays golf with the right hand usually his left hand is placed near the lever upper end or lever upper end and his right hand just is placed on below, the little finger of toe overlap joint of the general right hand or the forefinger of interlocking left hand.This causes a kind of sensation between two hands, and is not using dominant hand too much to control when carrying out golf swing, allows both hands separately or co-operation.

The external diameter that most of traditional golf club grips are formed with from the top of golf club shaft or butt end is little by little tapered to the bat head end of this shaft, attenuate gradually along the direction of club head.In carrying out golf range game, the people's who plays golf guiding hand (leading hand), promptly the hand of close target is placed on the handle of the most close bat shaft end usually.From start (trailing hand) be generally the people's who plays golf the strongest hand, it is placed in picture handle portion taper or thinner below.In these relative positions, need the largest portion of more unable guiding holds and control golf club grip, and the least part of the strongest holds bat handle.Therefore, when carrying out golf beating, the left-hand seat or the more unable hand that are positioned on the golf club grip largest portion are that the people who plays golf keeps holding reliably on golf club having increased difficulty.

On the contrary, because the reduced size of golf grip bottom, so during carrying out golf beating, stronger hand is difficult to club head is applied flight and the trajectory of enough power with the maximum of acquisition golf.The smaller portions of golf grip often cause from unclamping in advance of starting, and cause the golf of a lot of offset tracks to impact.

Having carried out many trials provides to have and strengthens the golf grip that golf club is held structure.The U.S. design patent No.504 of Miller, 928 have shown a kind of tapered golf grip that up makes progress towards the golf club upper end.The U.S. Patent No. 3,295,850 of Garrity has shown a kind of golf grip with smaller diameter portion of the little finger of toe that is used for holding portion under the non-taper of starting and only is used to guide hand.The U.S. Patent No. 6,817,956 of Dagenais discloses a kind of putter-type golf grip, and this handle comprises the following handle portion than the up knob portion larger diameter that unloads separately.

Summary of the invention

The present invention relates to a kind of golf club grip of waving entirely, this handle has in the individual size portion that carries out strengthening when golf impacts sensation and control golf club.This grip structure comprises the top with first constant diameter near the golf club upper end.This grip structure also comprises handle portion down, and this time handle portion has the constant diameter bigger than upper diameter.Two parts of this handle are manufactured to separate part by little middle transition portion, and this transition part is tapered and connection upper and lower between the upper and lower.When bracing up, the structure of this handle provides independent sensation for each hand.Two hands and its size that this upper and lower is designed to hold the people who plays golf are equal substantially.Like this, the people's who plays golf left-hand seat is placed in the up knob portion, sets about to be placed on down on the handle portion.

The golf grip structure of the present invention that comprises the different and constant diameter that is used for each hand has produced the following feature that can not form at jug.Golf club grip of the present invention provides a kind of golf club control sense of enhancing of non-dominant hand, and the golf club of the minimizing of dominant hand control sense.

This golf club grip also provides the power of holding of the enhancing of non-dominant hand with less diameter.Owing to the physical difference that offers the grasping diameter of every hand by handle, this handle also provides the power of holding that reduces of dominant hand.During waving entirely, because the physical difference on the grasping diameter of handle, this golf club grip in fact and also provide with respect to dominant hand non-dominant hand enhancing the wrist flexing and unclamp, and in fact its with respect to non-dominant hand also provide dominant hand the wrist flexing that reduces and unclamp.

In addition, because the constant diameter of the non-taper of each part of handle, so compare with the taper golf grip, handle of the present invention provides the unnecessary discontinuous of opposing hand of enhancing to move during whole golf.

Compare with any other golf club grip that provides before this, above-mentioned whole features have promoted control preferably, bigger assurance, stronger strength and the higher degree of accuracy in the swinging of the people who plays golf.Total result is that the people that plays golf can carry out preferably that golf impacts, and the people who plays golf is improved confidence successively, increases the enjoyment of match and produces higher score.

One of purpose of the present invention provides a kind of golf club grip, carrying out during golf impacts, for unable left-hand seat or guiding hand provide stronger holding.

Another object of the present invention provides a kind of golf club grip, with prevent strong assistant during impacting at golf, from unclamping in advance of starting.

Another purpose of the present invention provides a kind of golf club grip, provides a kind of independent sensation with the hand of each only being held golf club.

In conjunction with the following detailed description and accompanying drawing, it is obvious that these and other objects of the present invention will become.
