Description

The present invention relates to a portable flywheel for training golf clubs according to the preamble of claim 1 and the use of such a portable flywheel for training golf strokes.

There are various such tee or swing plates known. In most cases, impact mats are used, which are e.g. have a surface made of artificial turf, from which a golf ball is hit. In this meadow, a stroke situation is to be recreated, which resembles that on a fairway of a golf course. In this case, auxiliary lines or the like are often mounted on or on the mat, which are intended to facilitate an aiming or alignment with a target in the stroke to be executed.

Also, other alignment aids are known, which e.g. when practicing or practicing golf strokes directly from the ground without a tee mat before, behind or next to the golf ball to be hit can be placed.

Above all with higher-class golf players and / or with practice coaches with a trainer also video systems and / or Abschlagmatten come with built-in sensors for analyzing the swing to the employment. However, these are relatively expensive and unwieldy, since additional equipment for evaluation are necessary.

When learning to play golf, however, it is also very important in addition to the correct orientation and aiming that the golf player not only hits the golf ball in the middle with the club head while carrying out the swing motion with a golf club taking into account its length, but also in the correct angle of attack happens. An optimal ball contact is very important for a constant golf game or a constant improvement of the same.

1. a) das Gerät in Form einer Rampe konstruiert ist und eine ebene Schlagfläche aufweist,
2. b) die durch die Schlagfläche definierte Schlagebene eine Durchführung für ein Gummitee mit Standfuß aufweist,
3. c) eine Auflage in horizontaler Ebene als Halterung für eine Gummitee mit Standfuß dient sowie
4. d) die Schlagebene mit einem weichen aber auch robusten Material, bevorzugt einem speziellen Teppichbelag zum Schutz des Golfschlägers versehen ist.

From the DE 202011107468 U1 is a training device for golfing with a wood or driver (golf club) to train the movement of the racket on an ideal swing track at the time just before and shortly after the meeting point of the golf ball, executed in a design that is portable and both for the training of a tee mat as well as for the training of the lawn can be used. It is envisaged that

1. a) the device is constructed in the form of a ramp and has a flat face,
2. b) the impact plane defined by the striking surface has a passage for a rubber leg with base,
3. c) a support in the horizontal plane as a holder for a rubber tee with stand serves as well
4. d) the beating plane is provided with a soft but also robust material, preferably a special carpet for the protection of the golf club.

In the case of the tee with a driver, a golf ball's encounter with a slight upward movement and an arrival angle of about 3 ° tends to be the most efficient, which is why in this prior art exerciser the golf ball is positioned on the upper half of the ramp above the striking surface by means of the tee. But this training device is basically only limited for the swing training usable, just for training the tee with a driver.

The invention therefore has for its object to provide a portable swing plate for training golf strokes to assist the learning, training and practicing of golfing, which without electronic means to assist the meeting of the golf ball with the right angle of attack for golf clubs with other golf clubs as a driver.

This goal is achieved with a portable flywheel for training golf clubs according to claim 1.

According to the invention it is thus provided that the portable flywheel for training golf strokes includes a wedge body with a thinner side and a thicker side and an underside of the wedge body faces a substrate through which a background plane is defined, and one of the underside opposite, substantially flat Further, the top of the wedge body is inclined with respect to the ground plane at a wedge inclination angle (a), further comprising at least one side boundary and extending on or in the ground plane on the thinner side of the wedge body away from the latter in an impact direction from the thicker side is defined toward the thinner side of the wedge body, the lay direction being in a direction of impact direction which is orthogonal to the ground plane and parallel to a wedge line defining, together with the ground plane, the wedge inclination angle (α).

Thus, the portable flywheel can be used to train golf clubs while achieving the objective of the invention, and most advantageously for training golf club golf clubs.

When using an iron (golf club) is a meeting of the golf ball in the Down swing movement is an advantage, ie the club head should strike the ground at a flat or steep angle after the golf ball, depending on the nature of the ground. As a result, the practice of the correct angle of incidence of the club head on the golf ball, which is an essential aspect of learning and practicing and training the game of golf, with the portable swing plate invention is easily and reliably possible.

The wedge body assists a golfer in finding the right angle of attack when training with the swing plate when hitting the golf ball with iron golf clubs. For example, when training with iron golf club strikes, Place a golf ball at a certain distance in front of the thinner side of the swing plate. The closer the ball is placed to the flywheel, the harder the execution of the stroke becomes, as the area between the ball and the flywheel becomes smaller. It is best to hit the ball still in the downward movement of the club head without contact with the ground and to hit the ground after the ball hits the ground. Too early a hit (spoons) gives the golfer a direct and audible feedback, as he hits the flywheel with the clubhead. Thus, the essential for constant golf game ball-ground contact can be optimized.

As a further aspect is added by the portable swing plate according to the invention that the golf ball can be placed during training relative to the one side boundary or between the side boundaries, which may be formed, for example, substantially in the form of just one or more lateral rail (s) / can. When hitting or meeting the golf ball contact with the two side boundaries should be avoided, ie the club head is just durchzuschwingen between the two side boundaries. As a result, the center of the meeting can be trained.

Thus, the portable swing plate according to the invention provides all the constraints for learning and practicing golf clubs with iron golf clubs, with which a golf ball is played or hit from the ground and not from a tee in an elevated position above the ground.

The wedge body of the flywheel may e.g. be made of plastic. But other materials that do not damage a golf club when hitting them and also not easily damaged by an impinging golf club are conceivable. The wedge body can be solid or hollow. In terms of weight, it is preferably in the range from 250 g to 600 g, more preferably in the range from 300 g to 450 g and in particular at about 350 g.

For handling reasons, the wedge body of the flywheel plate may preferably have outer dimensions of about 220 mm in length, 180 mm in width and 20 mm in height. Other dimensions, which ensure a portable use of the flywheel, are possible. Portabel, by definition, generally refers to easily transportable items, and in this context means that the flywheel can be transported and carried by a user without any aids and without much effort.

Others, such as electrical and / or electronic aids that are expensive and cumbersome to use, are not required to provide particularly simple support for hitting a golf ball with the correct angle of attack with an iron golf club.

It also results in an advantage when the side boundaries of the flywheel plate are releasably formed, resulting in different settings for the side boundaries. If a golf ball is placed between the side boundaries at predetermined locations on the side boundaries, preferably in the direction of the direction of impact at a forward end of the swing plate farthest from the flywheel, the center of impact of the golf ball in the swing between the two side boundaries may be optimized. by the golfer trying not to touch them when hitting the ball as well as before and after. If the projecting side boundaries are detachable, the swing plate remains very handy. The coupling between flywheel and side boundaries can be done in any conceivable way. In particular, the side boundaries without the use of tools by hand can be coupled to the flywheel and decoupled, for example by means of clip, snap, snap, Velcro or plug connections.

If the side boundaries are detachably formed, advantageously the width of the side boundaries can be adjusted substantially orthogonal to the impact direction plane. This allows different levels of difficulty to be set. The less space there is between the golf ball and the side boundaries, the harder it is to hit the ball without contact with any of the side boundaries, and the midrange of the golf ball's encounter can be optimized. Particularly easy, the width can be adjusted by either rails of different widths are provided, or rails that are asymmetrical, ie For example, have a side with a curvature (increase in width) and / or a recess (reduction in width). Such side boundaries may then be attached to the flywheel such that less space remains between the side boundaries (bumps inward), or that more space remains between the side boundaries (side boundaries reversed with respect to the impact direction plane; bumps directed outward).

In addition, the length of the side boundaries may be adjustable substantially parallel to the direction of impact direction. This also allows different degrees of difficulty to be set and makes the execution of the golf stroke more difficult the closer the ball is placed between the length-adjustable side boundaries on the flywheel as the area between the ball and the flywheel becomes smaller. The distance between the ball and the flywheel plate, that is to say also between the locations of the lateral boundaries between which the ball is placed and the flywheel plate, may be e.g. be adjusted by rails of different lengths or preferably by a plurality of coupling points on the flywheel and / or on the side boundaries by the rails are simply offset in the longitudinal direction, parallel to the direction of impact plane.

Advantageously, the wedge angle between the ground plane and the top of the flywheel plate between 2 ° and 8 °, preferably between 3 ° and 6 °, and in particular be 5 °. Such inclination angles provide an optimal exercise effect. The smaller the angle of inclination, the easier the stroke (for beginners). With a larger angle of inclination, more difficult hit situations such as rough or divot positions can be adjusted (for advanced users). Rough in golf refers to the areas between the fairways, which are rarely mowed, and Divot refers to a damaged area on the fairway where a piece of grass was knocked out by a golf stroke and the piece of grass itself.

In order to be able to align the flywheel in the swinging direction particularly easily and quickly in the direction of impact, it may comprise one or more alignment aids provided on the flywheel plate, which are provided in particular in a direction parallel to the direction of impact direction. These alignment aids may e.g. as printed or otherwise generated lines, as grooves or as elevations are present, which differ visually, in particular color, from the flywheel and / or may be formed in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of impact plane. Thus, the alignment aids provided may facilitate aiming and pointing in the direction of impact and may also provide orientation for the golfer during the execution of the stroke.

In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the flywheel may further comprise one or more lateral boundaries disposed on the top of the flywheel plate, in particular a pair of lateral boundaries which extend substantially upwardly and substantially parallel to the direction of impact plane with respect to the ground plane. When starting the backswing, the golfer should guide the club head relatively straight past the lateral boundaries or between the lateral boundaries, especially the pair of lateral boundaries, without touching the swing plate or the lateral boundaries. When swinging the club head in the direction of the golf ball, the area between the lateral boundaries, in particular the pair of lateral boundaries, should be hit, again without touching the swing plate or the lateral boundaries. If the golf club is guided either from outside to inside or from inside to outside, the golfer can get a feedback through the side limits, as he can touch them with the club head. Too early a meeting (spooning) can again be indicated by contact of the club head with the swing plate. This allows you to train the right backswing and the right swing before the golf ball hits you. The lateral boundaries may also have a different shape, as long as they still limit the swing path. Thought is e.g. to an auxiliary tool, which extends substantially from the top of the flywheel at an angle upwards and outwards, which may correspond approximately to the angle of the club shaft with respect to the ground plane in a response position.

The lateral boundaries arranged on the upper side of the flywheel plate may advantageously be formed from a resilient material, in particular be provided as a plurality of brushes. Lateral boundaries made of a resilient material or brushes are a particularly suitable tool, as the golfer receives a noticeable feedback when he touches them, but the feedback is gentle and thus gentle on the joints and also can not damage the golf club.

In an advantageous embodiment, the flywheel plate may further comprise a recess which is suitable for receiving a golf ball and substantially in the Impact direction plane is arranged. In this recess, a second golf ball can be placed. The second golf ball should not be struck when hitting the golf ball to be played, which can simulate an extremely steep angle of incidence (eg for rough and divot positions). When swinging over the swing plate, this second ball should not be touched and the club head should hit the golf ball and then the ground / ground after the swing plate first.

The golf ball receiving recess may be elongated in the direction of impact direction, and a golf ball received therein may be slidable in the direction of the direction of impact to be able to adjust to various degrees of difficulty. The further the second ball is moved in the elongated recess in the direction of the ball to be hit, the more difficult is the impact to be performed.

It is particularly preferred if the flywheel plate is adapted to be rotatably applied through 180 °, such that a ball to be hit on both the thicker side of the flywheel plate and on the thinner side of the flywheel plate on the thicker side of the flywheel plate, from the flywheel plate spaced, can be placed substantially in the direction of impact plane. Thus, a hit of the ball during an upward movement of the club head can be trained. This is e.g. at tee-offs with a driver or with wood advantageous, especially at a tee with a driver of a tee. The alignment, the aiming and the backswing can be carried out analogously to the above-described embodiment with iron. Aids may in turn be the page boundaries, the lateral boundaries (especially brushes) and / or the alignment aids (especially alignment lines).

In order to be able to train a tee with the swing plate as already mentioned, the swing plate rotated by 180 ° may further comprise a recess for receiving a tea, which is arranged substantially in the direction of impact on the top of the swing plate, the tea Receiving recess is provided near an edge of the flywheel on the thicker side of the flywheel plate. When punching with the driver of the tee, the golfer can swing the driver head in embodiments of the flywheel with existing pair of brushes in the swing without contact with the flywheel swing through the area between the brush pair. The ball is then hit from bottom to top and the golfer can achieve a high trajectory of the ball with a low spin rate of the ball, which provides for maximum length. If a plate contact is generated by striking too early, the golfer can receive a noticeable and audible feedback by the impact of the driver head on the flywheel. Since an angle of incidence on the ball of about 3 ° in the upward movement of the Driverkopfs is considered ideal, can be enhanced by a wedge angle of inclination of example, as mentioned above, for example, the training effect. Also, the tea receiving recess may be disposed near an edge of the flywheel on the thinner side on the flywheel, for example, to train iron impacts from the tea with a hit of the golf ball in a downward movement of the clubhead.

The swing plate of the present invention thus provides many opportunities for a golfer to self-control and / or receive direct feedback during training. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, for all levels of performance as well as for left- and right-handed use and is used for training support for golf instructors, but especially for independent training without guidance, and in a simple way an alternative to complex and expensive video analysis systems and / or sensors represents. The main task of the swing plate is to support the golfer with a clear idea for a good ball contact, especially ball-ground contact in the above points.

The object of the invention is further achieved with the use of a portable flywheel for training golf clubs according to claim 8.

Further preferred and / or advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the combination of the above-described preferred embodiments and the entire disclosure content of the present documents.

On the other hand, features that are included in the present description but are not visible or illustrated in the drawing will be readily understood by those skilled in the art.

The 1 shows a perspective view of a flywheel 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The swing plate 10 contains a wedge body K with a substantially flat resting on the ground bottom 12 and one of the bottom 12 opposite, substantially flat top 14 , The bottom 12 and the top 14 together form the wedge body K, which is defined by the wedge angle α.

The wedge inclination angle α can be between 2 and 8 °, preferably between 3 and 6 °, and in the present embodiment is 5 °. The wedge body K of the swing plate 10 naturally also has a thicker side 16 as well as a thinner side 18 on, in the direction of which the wedge body K of the flywheel plate 10 tapers.

Furthermore, the wedge K has the flywheel 10 Side boundaries 20a, 20b, according to the embodiment of the present invention, a pair of mirror-inverted side boundaries 20a, 20b, which are substantially in the form of side rails 20a . 20b are formed and front portions 22a, 22b and rear portions 24a . 24b exhibit. At the front areas 22a . 22b the rails 20a . 20b are predetermined locations 26a . 26b defines, between which before a golf stroke a golf ball to be hit 50 can be placed and which on one side a curvature or thickening 28a . 28b and on the other side a recess or dilution 30a . 30b exhibit. The further function of the front areas 22a . 22b the side rails 20a . 20b is referring to the 2 and Fig. 3 will be described in more detail.

The filled arrows R1, R2 in each of the 1 . 2 . 5 and 6 each indicate the direction of impact. In the 1 . 2 and 5 this impact direction R1 is the same, namely for the use of the flywheel 10 to practice with iron golf clubs, while the direction of impact R2 in 6 rotated by 180 ° and serves to practice with a driver golf club.

The 2 shows a perspective view of the flywheel 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein side boundaries detached from the wedge body K 20a . 20b are shown and the 3 shows an exploded perspective view of the flywheel 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein substantially the underside 12 the swing plate 10 is shown.

In the 2 you can see that at the rear areas 24a . 24b the page boundaries 20a . 20b through coupling pins 32a . 32b formed coupling sections 24a . 24b are provided while in the 3 you can see that at the bottom 12 the flywheel 10 or more precisely its wedge body K corresponding complementary coupling receiving openings 34a . 34b are provided, with which the coupling pin 32a . 32b engage. The rails 20a . 20b can thus without tools removed from the flywheel 10 or more precisely their wedge body K and attached to this. In addition, it is possible in the present embodiment, on the one hand, the rails 20a . 20b to swap. This allows the area between the rails 20a . 20b at the places intended for ball placement 26a . 26b be reduced by the bulges or thickening 28a . 28b be directed inward, or enlarged by the recesses or dilutions 30a . 30b directed inward or the rails 20a, 20b are reversed. Thus, the difficulty of the golf course can be adjusted accordingly. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is possible to displace the rails 20a, 20b in the longitudinal direction parallel to the direction of impact direction since, as in FIG 3 can be seen, more receiving openings 30a, 30b as coupling pin 32a . 32b are provided, which again the degree of difficulty can be adjusted.

The 4 shows an exploded perspective view of the flywheel 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially the top 14 the flywheel 10 and the wedge body K shows. On the top 14 the swing plate 10 are alignment lines 36a . 36b . 36c to see which as an orientation aid 36a . 36b . 36c and assist a golfer in aiming for the target of the golf stroke. The central alignment line 36b serves primarily to aim the respective target by the golf ball 50 in the direction of impact plane in extension of the middle alignment line 36b when hitting with an iron (golf club) in front of the thinner side 18 of the wedge body K of the flywheel 10 and when hitting the driver in front of the thicker side 16 of the wedge body K of the flywheel 10 is placed, which later with reference to the 6 as an additional function or additional benefit or additional use of the flywheel plate according to the invention 10 will be explained in more detail. The outer alignment lines 36a . 36c provide clues for the correct location of the clubhead. This should be centered between the two outer alignment lines by the golfer 36a . 36c to be placed.

Also, in the 4 lateral limits 38a . 38b shown, which in the present embodiment each of a plurality of brushes 38a . 38b are formed and related to the subsurface 12 extend substantially upwardly and substantially parallel to the direction of impact plane. This plurality of brushes 38a . 38b in the present embodiment is at the top thereof 14 the swing plate 10 turned ends in respective receiving slots 39a . 39b absorbed and so solvable on the flywheel 10 or more precisely attached to the wedge body K. These lateral limits 38a . 38b Both the backswing and the swing can provide the golfer with support for finding the right swing lane.

The 5 shows a perspective view of the flywheel 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention with alternatively formed side boundaries 120a . 120b , These alternative rails 120a . 120b , which in their front areas 122a, 122b on both sides with recesses 130a . 130b provided in comparison to the previously described page boundaries 20a . 20b of the first embodiment according to the 1 to 3 a simpler variant, since both side boundaries 120a, 120b are identical. Thus, only a single tool is necessary for their production and manufacturing costs can be saved. However, the possibility of reducing the area in which the ball can be placed in order to vary the degree of difficulty of the strike by exchanging the two side boundaries is eliminated 20a . 20b , Like previously described.

In addition, the shows 5 a recess 40 for receiving a second golf ball 52 (in addition to the golf ball 50 that is played). This recess 40 is adapted to receive a second golf ball 52, and may be elongated, for example, in the direction of the direction of impact, so that the second golf ball 52 within the recess 40 bounded by a front rounded edge 42 in the direction to the thinner side 18 of the wedge body K of the flywheel 10 and a second rounded edge 44 in the direction to the thicker side 16 of the wedge body K of the flywheel 10 can be displaced substantially in the direction of the direction of impact plane.

In the recess 40 can the second golf ball 52 which are when hitting the playing golf ball 50 should not be hit, resulting in a steeper angle of incidence (eg for rough and divot positions) than without a second ball 52 can be simulated. When swinging the club head over the flywheel 10 should the second ball 52 should not be touched and the club head should after the wedge body K of the flywheel 10 first the golf ball 50 and then hit the ground. Due to the elongated configuration of the recess 40 Different levels of difficulty can be adjusted. The further the second ball 52 in the elongated recess 40 in the direction of the ball to be hit 50 or the front rounded edge 42 is moved, the more difficult is the action to be performed.

The 6 shows a perspective view of the flywheel 10 according to a third embodiment of the present invention with side boundaries removed (for clarity) 20a . 20b ; 120a . 120b , although a tea 48 for practicing tees of a tea 48 is provided. The wedge body K of the swing plate 10 contains a tea intake opening 46 which for taking the tea 48 suitable is. The application of in 6 illustrated flywheel 10 differs from the cases described above, the design of the flywheel is, however, except for the missing side boundaries 20a . 20b ; 120a . 120b the same as the one described above. Turned 180 ° is the flywheel 10 according to the present embodiment for practicing teeing a Tee 48 , especially with a driver suitable. As you can see, the momentum becomes 10 for beating tea 48 , especially with a driver or wood, first applied rotated by 180 °. The golf ball 50 is on the tea 48 placed. The difference to that in the 1 to 5 shown structures is that the ball 50 is now hit during an upward movement of the club head, in particular Driverkopfs. The exact course of training with the flywheel 10 with the driver, as well as the training with iron, described in more detail below.

by the respective golfer, which the swing plate 10 used, described:

Train with iron

Aim:

The middle alignment line 36b on the swing plate 10 is aimed at the respective goal of the strike and the ball 50 (in extension of the middle alignment line 36b ) and the club head (between the outer alignment lines 36a . 36c ) are placed in the middle of the indicated mark.

Start of the backswing:

The start of the backswing is the first dynamic part that leads to a successful golf stroke. When training with the flywheel 10 to the club head without plate and brush contact is relatively straight between the brushes 38a . 38b taken away to the rear.

Swing path:

Also during the swing (the swing track), it is important to the area between the brush pair 38a . 38b to hit relatively straight in the downturn.

Should the club head vibrate either from inside to outside or from outside to inside, the golfer receives gentle feedback through the two compliant lateral boundaries 38a . 38b ,

of approach:

Ball-to-ground contact is essential for a consistent game of golf. Too early a hit (spoons) gives the golfer a noticeable and audible feedback as the clubhead hits the swing plate 10 meets.

An extremely steep angle of attack, for rough or divot, can be trained by a second ball 52 is placed in the central golf ball receiving recess 40. It applies, during the downswing again between the brush pair 38a . 38b swing through and the second ball 52 not to touch. The club head should be after the swing plate 10 first the ball 50 and then hit the ground.

Means of the meeting:

The golf ball 50 will be at the level of the predetermined places 26a . 26b ; 126a . 126b in the middle between the two side boundaries 20a . 20b ; 120a . 120b placed, which are adjustable for each level of play in the longitudinal direction. It is true when hitting the ball 50 a contact with both rails 20a . 20b ; 120a . 120b to avoid and beat between them.

Training with the driver

The swing plate 10 is turned 180 ° and a tea 48 gets into the tea intake recess 46 plugged. The aiming and the backswing are analogous to the turns with an iron. The Driverkopf should in Durchschwung between the brush pair 38a . 38b swing through without being in contact with the flywheel 10 or the to brush 38a . 38b to get. If this succeeds, the golf ball 50 is hit from bottom to top and receives a high flight curve with little spin, which ensures a so-called thump for maximum length. Becomes a contact with the flywheel by striking too early 10 generated, the golfer gets by the impact of the club head on the swing plate 10 a noticeable and audible feedback from the flywheel 10 , Even leaving the optimal swing path of the Driverkopfs by a noticeable touch of the brushes 38a , 38b.

A common mistake in driving is a too steep angle of incidence which creates too high a spin rate and the ball 50 does not allow it to fly optimally far. Ideal is a vertical angle of incidence, which is about 3 ° in the upward movement of the Driverkopfs. The swing plate 10 or more accurately, its wedge body K may have a wedge inclination angle α of 5 ° in accordance with the described embodiment, so that the training effect is enhanced.

The swing plate 10 The present invention thus offers a variety of opportunities for a golfer to control himself and / or receive direct feedback during training, especially when practicing alone without a trainer. The swing plate 10 helps the golfer in particular with a clear idea for a good ball contact in view of the above-mentioned points of view.

As a further added benefit, a version with at least one detachable side boundary, preferably two detachable side boundaries, can also be used for practicing with the putter, using only the side boundary (s) as a guideline for the putty movement. This can be done with the momentum plate according to the invention 10 be covered with a single device in a particularly advantageous manner, the entire spectrum of learning and training needs in golf.

The big advantage of the portable swing plate according to the invention is that in a simple way, learning and training of the types of punch chip, pitch and iron is possible, but by simple training also learning and training can be done with a driver and a putter, and that with a handy device.

The invention is illustrated by way of example only and not by way of example in the description and the drawing, but includes all variations, modifications, substitutions and combinations that the skilled person the present documents in particular in the context of the claims and the general representations in the introduction This description and the description and drawings of the embodiment and can combine with his expert knowledge and the prior art. In particular, all individual features and design options of the invention and the embodiments can be combined with each other.
