Abstract

Golf swing exerciser consisting of a golf club grip 1 and a golf club shaft 2, characterized in that as flywheel a fixed spherical Weight 3 at the club end is fixed and in the middle of the club shaft 2 an axially movable spherical Weight 4 is arranged so that when swinging the exercise machine at a certain speed, caused by the centrifugal force, this spherical one Weight 4 of the exercise machine itself moved forward and fixed with a bang on the front Ball 3 hits.

Description

Golf swing exercise machine for learning an optimal golf swing, especially for improvement and increase the golf club head speed, so that the golf ball continues to fly.

Of the Golf swing exists u. a. from a rotation of the shoulders around the body axis and a sling from the wrists just before the ball contact.

The Speed of the shoulders and hands around the body axis is not alone for responsible for the success of the golf swing. The maximum speed of the clubhead depends mainly from how fast the angled hands stretch from their flexion reach. This is done with the help of the golfer muscle's speed which is located on the inside of the forearm. This will the clubhead many times faster than those revolving around the body Hands. Naturally The extension of the wrists must be done at the right moment. The hands and the upper body have to rotate and after contact with the ball, the upper body must swing into the end position.

By the sling motion of the wrists becomes the golf club head maximally accelerated, so that he has his maximum speed when ball contact reached. Only then can the golf ball fly far and high.

As the prior art, several devices for practicing the acceleration of the racket during golf swing are known. One is designed so that the club shaft is internally provided with a movable weight and a return spring. In the golf swing, the weight is moved by the centrifugal force from the vicinity of the racket handle towards the lower end of the tube closure until it abuts the closure with an audible click. In this embodiment, the required flywheel is missing at the club end, where normally the club head is located. With this device, a golf-specific high-speed exercise is only partially possible ( DE 201.07078 U1 )

More golf swing training equipment is off US 4,378,113 . US 5,026,063 and US 5,580,321 known. These golf exercise equipment consists of a golf club shaft with handle and a container in which water can be filled. A disadvantage of these embodiments is that the water when moving, due to the earth's gravity, moves too slowly in the direction of grip, so that the downturn is delayed.

Further is a golf swing exercise machine known at the two ball halves in the middle of the club shaft are associated with magnets and a half in the golf swing, conditionally by the centrifugal force, to the club end moved. This exercise device is very costly in production.

To The present state of the art thus does not solve the problem that Spin or whip movement of the wrists optimal and inexpensive to train.

task

task of the golf swing exerciser is a training device to create and improve the sling movement of the hands, so that a spin effect arises.

The task is solved with a training device that allows very fast exercises and trains the speed of the golfer muscle when stretching the wrists. The exercise device can be slightly lighter than conventional golf clubs. It consists of a golf club handle 1 with a golf club shank 2 , as well as a weight 3 replacing the golf club head. The movable, spherical weight 4 snaps by means of a small spring-loaded ball 6 , which is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the club shaft, in the recess of the socket 5 one. At the same time, this socket still serves as an axial stop. The swinging motion releases the weight 4 at a certain centrifugal force and hits the ball 3 at the shaft end, so that a bang arises. By the bang an arbitrarily adjustable speed is acoustically displayed during golf swing.

The exercise device is based on closer to several drawings explained.

1 shows such a device during the recovery movement of the golfer. The movable spherical weight 4 the exercise machine is locked.

2 shows the golf training device during downswing after the spherical weight 4 , due to the centrifugal or. Centrfugal force has moved forward and with a bang on the fixed ball 3 is open.

3 shows the latch with the triggering moment of the movable ball 6 can be adjusted. The socket 5 is with the shaft 2 positively connected. The ball 6 snaps when they handle towards 1 is moved, under spring pressure of the compression spring 8th into the depression 7 the socket 5 one. With the adjusting screw 9 The release torque can be changed continuously.

4 shows a golfer in the recovery movement with the training device. To practice the whipping is enough a half momentum. Of course, a full golf swing is possible.

5 shows a golfer in the downswing in the position in which the wrists for whipping max. have to be bent. Here begins the whip bezw. Slingshot, then the racket max. accelerated.

6 shows the golfer in the downswing when the bat has reached its maximum speed. Due to the centrifugal force of the movable spherical weight 4 arises on impact with the front ball 3 a bang. Thus, the point of maximum speed can be displayed acoustically.

7 shows the same golfer after the swing out. Thereafter, the movable spherical weight 4 , due to gravity, when holding the club shaft or manually moved back to the starting position

at a left-hander all movements are equal.

For the golf swing the swing rhythm is especially important. This can optimally with the golf swing exercise device be trained, as you better without golf ball on the momentum can concentrate until it becomes routine.
