Description

State of the art

The invention relates to a learning device, in particular for learning a golf club.

Usually, golf cards are printed with imprints to help them learn the correct posture for the stroke.

The direction of the golf ball after the impact moment should coincide with the track hole golf ball on a level surface of the ground. For bumps results in a correspondingly desired deviation from this direction. The swing line is crucial for the hit rate of the beaten golf ball.

An ideal swing line should lie in a vertical plane to the hole golf ball line. Slight deviations from the ideal line lead to warped punches. If the club head hits the golf ball at the wrong angle, the ball will be hit too short or too far. As a result, the trajectory of the golf ball deviates from the intended curve in the direction of the target.

A faulty orientation of the player, for example, in a right-handed mainly too far to the right of the target, the left-hander vice versa, often leads to too shallow removal of the racket, as this is too much inward led away. This results in the blow to the ball from outside to inside. This error is called "slice". The wrongly hit ball starts when executed by a right-handed person to the left and then turns to the right.

A faulty shift of weight during the downswing in the direction of the target results in too strong or weakly struck balls, as a result of which no control of the length and in some cases the direction of the impact takes place.

A wrong angle on a badly hit ball will result in no or too weak so-called "backspin" of the ball.

Training devices are known, in particular for learning the so-called "putting". In this case, rail systems, such as aluminum, proposed.

A "putting practice device" ( US 5 024 442 A ), which has an elongated solid body, which at its bottom over a bottom plate ( 26 ) with two tab-shaped projections ( 16 ), the introduction of two fasteners ( 20 ) (see. 3 and 4 ) for fixing on a ground, disclosed.

Also known is a "Multi-Purpose Sound Tool for Golf Training" ( WO 2004/085 001 A2 ). This disclosure is an approximately triangular solid body having a right angle (see angle between the surfaces B and C, Fig. Abstract).

A disadvantage of such training devices is that only the direction of the racket is given in the direction of the hole. A really the ideal swing line corresponding impact, for example, when knocking off or the long game, is not supported.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a device that allows learning a golf club in a simple manner.

Disclosure of the invention

According to the invention, a learning device, in particular for learning a golf club, has a body in the form of an elongate so-called A-beam with a substantially trapezoidal cross-section. The outer limbs of the body are arranged at an angle to each other such that the golf club is steep enough for an optimal impact moment on the golf ball along the outer leg is performed and the club head impinges in an optimal angular position on the golf ball. Thus, the learning device allows a vertical arrival angle control.

In its longitudinal extent, wherein the learning device has a rectangular shape as seen from the side, the learning device is aligned in the direction of the hole in which the golf ball is to be played, thus allowing a direct hit without deviation by the guidance of the golf club along an outer leg towards the goal.

By aligning and guiding the racket in the straight orientation towards the hole, the optimum impact moment of the racket head on the golf ball is also made possible by avoiding the rotation of the player's upper body when the player is in the correct position towards the learning apparatus aligns. The weight of the player also remains in the weight transfer from one foot to the other within the body, which is a weight transfer aid. Directional control is achieved by aligning with momentum from the inside to the golf ball. Thus, the learning device allows alignment control.

The combination of the angle in which the club head is guided on the outwardly angled outer leg, as well as the longitudinal orientation of the shock by guiding along the outer leg of the learning device with the substantially trapezoidal cross-section is an optimization or clarification of the swing line for the tee of the golf ball and thus achieved high hit rates. The golf ball thus gets the necessary spin and the optimal alignment frequency. Thus, the learning device allows a weight transfer aid for the player as well as a swing direction control for the swing line to be played.

The learning device can be printed with directional arrows, which visually illustrate the optimal guidance of the racket to achieve the optimum swing line on the trapezoidal outer legs of the learning device and on the narrow top surface on the top of the learning device.

To facilitate the swing direction control for the player, the learning device has on its top surface an imprint of a longitudinal direction control directional arrow for the impact. Furthermore, the learning device has on at least one of its outer legs at least one further imprint of a directional arrow for the angle of incidence.

In this way, by means of the learning device, punches with an optimized angle of incidence for generating the so-called "backspin" can be practiced. For this purpose, the learning device is placed behind the ball on one of its legs at a distance of about 1 finger length. The direction of the impact can be determined by means of the small arrow printed on the learning device. Thus, the impact moment is optimized from top to bottom. The hit ball will have a high "backspin" on the green and "bite".

To optimize the impact, the learning device is thus aligned with the help of the printed arrow exactly on the target, the striking surface aligned at an angle of 90 ° to the target line in the direction of the arrow, and aligned with the feet, knees, hips and shoulders of the player in the target direction. As a result, an improved removal of the racket is not supported too far inward or too far outward. This results in a better angle of arrival. As a result, the ball is hit optimally. This results in a straight and longer punch.

The learning device can also be used in the so-called "bunker" to support a high or shallower, longer or shorter bunker stroke by the appropriate orientation.

According to an advantageous development, the learning device on its underside no continuous floor, but narrow elongated feet. These serve the better state of the learning device on different surfaces. By this design, a tilting security is ensured because the feet do not slip by lightly pressing.

Another advantage is that the learning device serves by a different arrangement and orientation as a footrest for when kicked back foot. The trapezoidal configuration, namely wider below and narrower above, allows a firm and stabilized state of the player at the tee.

For example, an exercise is possible in which the player with his right foot is halfway on the learning device in order not to lose the weight to the outside and to be able to repel at the same time during the downswing with the help of the learning device. Thus, the learning device serves as a stand-up aid and at the same time as a weight transfer aid.

The upper part of the learning device, that is in the tapered portion of the body in its configuration with the substantially trapezoidal cross-section, is compact in order to ensure a good stability by the weight of the learning device.

The learning device can be made of various materials suitable for this, preferably made of a plastic.

The learning device is suitable by its design for both right and left-handed.

Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the invention are the following description of the figures, the drawings and the claims removed.

The learning device 1 has a body with a substantially trapezoidal cross-section. The learning device has approximately the shape of a so-called A-carrier. However, the upper part of this "A-beam" is solid and does not have the opening at the "A". This serves to increase the weight of the learning device 1 To increase and to ensure a firm footing, since the pressure is dissipated by the acting weight from top to bottom on the floor space. The learning device 1 has two outer thighs 2 . 3 , which have an angle of about 32.5 ° to each other.
