Definitions
- the invention relates to the sports field and more specifically the field of golf.
- the swing is the technical basis of golf and can be broken down into four phases: a placement and aiming phase (the address), a preparation phase (the ascent), a motor phase (the descent), a frenetic phase (the final).
- the swing technique is therefore privileged within the framework of the teaching of golf, each of the phases workable component.
- the main objective of the present invention is therefore to propose a tool teaching for teaching golf allowing the player to better understand the movement of his club at the impact zone with the ball.
- Another objective of the invention is to propose such a tool which can be adapted to any type of club.
- golfers indeed use clubs differentiated by the angle of inclination of the face or loft, calculated from the axis of the handle, this angle ranging from zero degrees for the putter, up to around 70 ° for the club the most open.
- Yet another objective of the invention is to propose such a tool which can be used to allow the player to refine the trajectory given to the club but also the hitting height of this club in relation to a ball.
- Another objective of the invention is to propose such a device for mechanical design not involving electrical or electronic parts.
- a device for teaching golf characterized in that it essentially includes a base plan, a head mounted on said base having a face essentially reversed by relative to the face of the head of a golf club, and means for indicating the angle of striking of said club on said head comprising a disc integral with said head and mounted in rotation on said base essentially in the plane thereof, said head being positioned substantially in the center of said disc, and means for displaying the displacement of said disc with respect to said base following the impact of said club on said retractable head
- the player can thus correct his swing and possibly his address so as to improve the quality of the impact and consequently the trajectory followed by the bullet.
- a disc is integrated in the base of the device so as not to protrude therefrom.
- the base of the device according to the invention has a thickness provided for it allow not to go too far above the ground so as not to disturb the player and allow him to take a position identical to that which he would take on a golf course.
- this base can be covered with a material imitating the lawn.
- this base preferably does not have any projecting element, apart from the retractable head, so that the swing can take place normally.
- the head of the device is mounted mobile on said base and likely to retract under the impact transmitted by a golf club so as not to hinder the trajectory of it.
- this head can also be made of a material having a certain elasticity and fixed by its base to the base. According to such a characteristic, the head may retract temporarily upon impact of the club and automatically return to position after the passage of the club.
- the means for indicating the striking angle of the device are implemented to reflect the quality of this angle.
- the device therefore constitutes a device enabling the player to work on the quality of the impact he instills in the ball through the club.
- the invention thus makes it possible to approach a educational aspect of teaching golf particularly interesting because approximating the real conditions of practice of this game.
- the rotation of the disc can be facilitated by the presence of bearings. However, to avoid inadvertent rotation of the disc, it may also be provided means for attenuating this rotation. Such a goal could in particular be obtained by not using ball bearings while limiting the surface of the base in contact with the lower part of the disc. Such a goal can also be obtained by predicting surface irregularities or a slope on a part of the base in contact with the disc. It may also be considered to limit the rotation of the disc by creating friction between the folded head and the base.
- these means of visualizing the movement of the disc can be made in many ways.
- these display means comprise a graduation provided on said disc and / or on said base.
- a graduation makes it possible to give more precise indications on the typing angle and thus on the magnitude of the typo.
- this graduation is colored. This graduation can thus, for example, consist of a arrow or any other indicator sign provided on the disc (or on the base) and quarters of different colors distributed around the disc on the base (or around the base on the disk).
- the retractable head is constituted by an element integral with the disc comprising two fixing arms thereon, said arms extending essentially over the entire diameter of said disc.
- the forces transmitted by the club face to the inverted face of the retractable head are communicated to the periphery of the disc as soon as they are not perpendicular to this inverted face and sufficiently amplified to result in significant movement of the disc.
- the disc rotates enough to signal the fault to the user of the device and the extent of it.
- the means authorizing the rotation of the disc on the base must be chosen so as not to slow down the movement of the disc but also, as explained above, not to amplify it too much so as to allow qualitative but also quantitative assessment of the typo
- said head is removable and interchangeable. So, he it is possible to adapt the device to all golf clubs, from the putter to the club presenting the highest loft angle.
- said device comprises adjustment means of the inclination of said head which also allows it to adapt to all golf clubs, by allowing a tilt of its inverted face more or less large.
- these adjustment means will be designed to allow positioning of the face inverted from the head of the vertical (corresponding to a putter type club), up to a angle of about 70 ° (corresponding to the most open clubs).
- They can for example be constituted by a toothed stud placed in front of the head in a specially recessed provided for this purpose and capable of cooperating with notches provided on another part so to be able to adopt several positions.
- the quality of the impact transmitted by the club to the ball depends on the striking angle but also on the striking height of the ball.
- the device according to the invention may also include means for indicating the height of strikes said club on said retractable head.
- means for indicating the height of strikes said club on said retractable head means the terms "means of striking height indication” as means making it possible to give a more or less precise indication of the height of the impact carried by the club on the head.
- these means for indicating the height of striking will consist of the material covering the base.
- this material will exhibit surface irregularities that will cause noise when they are hit by the club during the swing.
- Such a material could for example be made with synthetic turf.
- these means may consist of a element mounted movable in the retractable head and capable of retracting only when the striking height of said club on said retractable head is correct.
- a element mounted movable in the retractable head capable of retracting only when the striking height of said club on said retractable head is correct.
- Such element is described in patent application FR 9507615. During the swing, this element will only be knocked down when the impact of the club on the head occurs at a height of the base sufficiently weak. The height of this second element will therefore be chosen so as to to correspond to a correct strike height according to the practice of golf.
- the player can thus work not only the angle of strike instilled by the club but also the strike height, which is particularly important for beginners, who very often tend to hang the floor during the swing.
- the device for teaching golf essentially comprises a base 1, a retractable head 2 and means indication of the striking angle 4 including a disc 8 rotatably mounted on said base 1 and on the axis of rotation of which the retractable head is fixed 2
- the retractable head has a face 3 essentially inverted with respect to the face of the head of a club so as to essentially marry the club face in the event of impact correct of a club against said retractable head.
- this head Under the effect of the impact transmitted by such a club during a swing, this head is capable of being folded down so as to be housed in an opening 11 of the disc 8 specially designed for this purpose and designed so that when the head 8 is folded down in the opening 11, this head does not protrude from the disc 8 so as not to hinder the pursuit swing after impact. Under the effect of the impact, the head 8 is also liable to communicate a movement of the disc 8 relative to the base 1, if the striking angle between the face 3 of the retractable head and the face of the club head is not substantially equal to 0, i.e. if the strike angle and therefore the swing are not correct for actually correspond to an acceptable trajectory of the ball.
- visualization means 12 of the movement of the disc 8 following the impact are provided on this disc and on the base 1.
- these display means 12 are constituted by an arrow 12a cooperating with a colored graduation 12b provided on the base 1 at the periphery of the disc 8.
- these means of visualization could be constituted by any other suitable means. So he can in particular be envisaged to provide a window in the disc 8 so as to allow the display of a colored graduation on the part of the base 1 present under the disc 8.
- the disc 8 therefore rotates according to one or the other possible direction of rotation symbolized by the double arrow 13.
- the arrow 12 indicates one of the colored graduations 12b. It is thus possible for the player to assess the importance of the fault committed and thus to work its swing in order to fold down the retractable head 2 without the disc 8 rotating, thus indicating that the club face correctly attacks the retractable head, to actually correspond to a good trajectory of the ball.
- the retractable head consists of a element 6 mounted integral with the disc 8.
- the first element 6 has arms 9a, 9b extending along the diameter of the disc 8 and making it possible to transmit the forces instilled by the club during the impact on the periphery of the disc, by allowing it to rotate as soon as these forces are not perpendicular to the inverted face 3 of the retractable head 2. Furthermore, the upper part of the element 6 is notched so as to facilitate the raising of this element when the head is retracted. Note that it will of course be considered other means of raising this part without departing from the scope of the invention.
- these adjustment means are constituted by a removable stud 10 having teeth 10a provided to cooperate with notches 10b of a part 10c. According to position sought from head 2, it is possible to choose the position of the removable stud on the workpiece 10c.
- the player When using the device described, the player after choosing his club positions the retractable head 2 at the angle corresponding to the club in question.
- the retractable head 2 inclined at the angle corresponding to the club used the player can take his position relative to the retractable head of the same way he would position himself in real face of a golf ball, and work the impact he communicates to the head through his club.
- the quality of the striking angle is given by the rotation of the disc 8. If such rotation does not occur, the striking angle is considered correct. If disk 8 observe a rotation following impact, the strike angle is incorrect. According to the district of color 12b indicated by arrow 12a, the extent of the fault can be easily and quickly assessed by the player.
