Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a golf garment for learning the movement of golf for an upper body having two sleeves such as a polo shirt.

[0002] Golfers must remember various arm and waist movements. The movement is learned and observed by means of various adjusting devices and markers. The markers include a mental marker, a muscle strength marker, and a visual marker. The first two markers are
Consistent with the player's impressions and perceptions, these are very subjective ideas, and from experience they are often wrong. Thus, they do not give the player accurate information about the correct position of the part of the body to perform the action or of the action. Only the visual markers are certain, but nonetheless they tend to be somewhat uncertain. Because
The player cannot immediately see all the movements of the various parts of the body that are adjusted to perform the movement during the movement.

Therefore, it is difficult for a player who learns a stroke to observe the stroke and correct the stroke in accordance with how the stroke is performed.

[0004] Some learning methods use external teaching materials, such as videos of recorded actions for comments and corrections. However, the recording is somewhat inaccurate. It lacks the precise means for defining the action to be performed.

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to overcome these drawbacks, and the present invention is intended to allow a golfer to observe the position of a body part involved in performing an action and to keep up with its deployment during the action. Suggest creation of means.

To this end, the present invention is a golf garment for learning the movement of golf for an upper body with two sleeves, such as a polo shirt, comprising an on-axis connecting an elbow bend and a thumb. A golf garment characterized by a sleeve marker having a sleeve marker and means for restraining the sleeve for rotation with the arm.

According to another feature of the invention, the garment has a shoulder marker on the upper shoulder.

[0008] According to another feature of the invention, the marker is a line, a point or a sequence of points or lines.

[0009] The marker is preferably a straight line. That is, the shape of the club, in which the elongation is in a visible shape and it can be perceived within the field of view whether it is at or around the center of the field of view, and the starting point of movement for the player, e.g. a club shaft with both hands somewhat vertical in front of the player Observable when above. These markers allow for semi-automatic reflection adjustment of the arm arrangement during upward / downward movement.

Similarly, during operation, a straight line marker on the shoulder allows the player to determine whether the shoulder is operating correctly by seeing or not seeing the marker.

[0011] The shoulder marker remains in position on the shoulder, but due to the shape of the garment, the sleeve has to be provided with a fastening means to restrain the sleeve in order to rotate with the arm. Thereby, the sleeve does not float on the arm, does not prevent the linear marker from being seen, and prevents the sleeve from rotating with respect to the arm. The marker loses its effect either because it is always visible but in the wrong place, or when the marker is hidden.

[0012] The fastening means can be of various types to accommodate the extension of the sleeve required to wear the garment. This closure can be made easier by the elasticity of the sleeve material and by tightly attaching it to the arm, or by fastening the sleeve material (if not stretched) using a buttoned or Velcro strap. But it is achieved in a robust manner, rotating the sleeves with the arms.

The garment according to the invention may have a marker on each sleeve and each shoulder, or may have a marker on each sleeve and one shoulder. Various combinations are possible depending on the observed or corrected movement.

[0014] The markers must be visible even around the field of view.

According to another advantageous feature of the invention, the straight sleeve and shoulder markers comprise a middle stripe of a first color and lateral stripes of a second and third color on opposite sides thereof. Having.

[0016] The two colors of the marker are preferably contrasting colors that are easily distinguished from each other even when the marker is at the limit of the field of view as described above.

The colors can be, for example, red, white and blue.

When the ground color of the clothes is white or gray, it is very effective. This color forms the first stripe, while the second and third stripes are red and blue.

This avoids color compounding, but preserves the effect of a fairly large linear marker with three ranges that give a completely qualitative indication by color.

The brightest color, red, is used, for example, for the inner stripes of the sleeve markers, whereas for the shoulder markers, this color is used as the outer stripes. In the sleeve, the color of the inner stripe is on the torso side. The right and left arm markers are therefore symmetric with respect to the central plane of the body. The same applies to the shoulder marker. However, in this case, the shoulder must be turned a long distance to perform the action, so the brightest color stripe of the shoulder marker is behind and the less vibrant color (blue) is in front.

It is particularly advantageous if the marker is attached to clothing. For example, a small piece of stretchable material, such as woven or similar material, may be attached to the sleeve or shoulder of the garment.

The marker is advantageously attached to the garment by a removable fastening device such as sewing, gluing or Velcro.

This allows the marker to be removed and replaced if necessary.

It is equally beneficial that the garment has a V-shaped chest marker, each branch of which is similar in two colors. If the movement is recorded on video, the chest marker facilitates observation of the player's position and movement.

It is particularly beneficial to duplicate the marker, ie, to have a first V-shaped bottom sub-marker and a second V-shaped sub-marker at the top of the chest. The marker at the key position on the chest is also preferably two colors, the vertex of the V-shaped is one color, and the end of the branch of V or Vs is another color. The edges are preferably bright colors, and the vertices of the V-shape are dark or less vibrant colors.

In some cases, it is also possible to use one fluorescent color for various markers.

Although examples of colors have been given above, other colors may be envisaged. Nevertheless, the color of any individual marker must be chosen to avoid simultaneous symmetry effects. This is increasingly the case when some markers are only visible around the player's field of view.

The present invention is described in detail below, using a schematic polo shirt-type garment and by way of example with reference to one accompanying drawing.

The garment has a body 1 and sleeves 2, 3. Each sleeve has a linear marker located in the area between the cuff 21 and the elbow 22 on the axis connecting the elbow bend and the thumb. The location of the thumb is clearly defined relative to the garment. The marker 4 is a straight line, that is, a straight line that is coaxial with the axis defined above, and has three stripes 41, 42, 43 of three different colors in the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the ground color of the clothing is white, and the middle stripe 42 is also formed. On the other hand, the stripes 41 and 43 on the opposite side of the center stripe are dyed or attached to the garment. Two outer stripes 41, 4
3 is a different color, for example, blue and red. The first color, blue, for the sleeve marker 4 is on the outside, and the second color, red, for the stripe 43 is on the inside, that is, on the body side.

According to the invention, the second sleeve 3 also preferably has the marker 5 formed by the tricolor stripes 51, 52, 53 symmetrical with the linear marker 4 on the intermediate plane where the clothing is symmetrical. Have in position. Thus, the brightly colored stripes 53 are on the inside, the central stripe 52 is the ground color of the garment, and the stripes 51 are on the outside.

The sleeves 2, 3 are held firmly on the arms, so that the sleeves 2, 3 are constrained to rotate together with the arms, due to the elastic nature of the material or by fastening with buttons or Velcro. The sleeves 2, 3 are secured on the player's arm using external means such as a strap to be worn. This is important not only when the garment is worn in direct contact with the skin, but also when the garment is worn over one or more other garments.

In the upper part, the shoulder, the garment has straight shoulder markers 6, 7, preferably one on each shoulder. Straight shoulder markers 6, 7 are at the apex of the shoulder. In the case of the present embodiment, the shoulder markers are also formed by stripes 61, 62, and 63 of different colors.

The middle stripe 62, 72 or in some cases one stripe of the three stripes is at the apex of the shoulder. The front stripes 63, 73 are on the shoulder adjacent to the collarbone and the other stripes 61
, 71 are located on the shoulder adjacent to the scapula.

The color can be the same as the other markers or it can be different. In the case of this embodiment, the stripes 61 on the outer side, that is, the rear side are bright stripes, and the stripes 63 on the inner side, that is, the front side are dark stripes. The middle stripe 62 is preferably formed of a garment material.

In contrast, another marker 7 on the shoulder has an outer or back stripe 71, a middle stripe 72 and a front stripe 73.

The stripes 61 and 71 on the back are bright colors, for example, red, while the stripes 63 and 73 on the front are dark and blue.

The benefit of this arrangement of colors is that large movements of the shoulder can be seen, whereby stripes 63 outside the right shoulder appear around the player's field of view (for right-handed use).

The front of the garment also has markers. These chest markers are intended to assist the player directly, but are intended to make it easier to observe the player's movements, especially when the player's movements are recorded on a camcorder. The chest is V
Have a V-shaped marker or two V-shaped sub-markers with the vertex facing downward. The markers 8, 9 also have central portions 81, 91 corresponding to the vertices of V and two lateral portions 82, 83, 92, 93. The two lateral parts are preferably bright colors (red), while the middle parts 81, 91 are blue.

In the embodiment shown, the origin of the first marker, sub-marker 8 (V
Is located on the sternum, the two branches of which extend towards the collarbone in the direction of the shoulder marker. Another sub-marker of the same shape has at the navel the origin of the vertex of V and the branch extends toward the pectoral muscle.

The various markers described above can be a permanent feature of the garment by dyeing the stripes to form a component of the garment, or by a durable attachment, for example, by sewing or gluing. They can alternatively be removably mounted with an adhesive strip, especially a velcro strip. This allows the marker stripes to be discarded, replaced or removed for care.

Thus, the marker can be replaced with an inconspicuous or conspicuous marker, or when the color has faded.

The marker on the garment can be used under the following conditions. The conditions are given only as an example, and the color is the color selected in the above example. 1) When holding To find a position where the arm is at a right angle (neutral), that is, a natural and relaxed position where the arm forms a triangular line with the shoulder, the white stripe on the polo shirt must be in the middle of the forearm edge No.

If the forearm is rotating to the right, blue occupies the left forearm and red occupies the right forearm (strong position).

Conversely, when red occupies the left arm, blue occupies the right arm (weak position). 2) In Action During the trial half swing, the player can ascertain the quality of the swing alignment in swing and follow through thanks to the various markers.

[0045] If the player is holding and using the square position and the chest and shoulder movements are well aligned, the white stripe remains completely in the center of the three colors in view.

Similarly, the alignment of the forearm and the chest at the end of the half stroke is good if the white stripes are 3
This is the case in the middle of the color.

When swinging up, if the blue occupies the left forearm and the red occupies the right forearm, the club is in the navel direction and the swing is flat.

In contrast, when red occupies the left forearm and blue occupies the right forearm, the swing is vertical.

However, if the reverse arrangement is seen at the finish, it is possible to perform a swing-up in which blue occupies the left forearm and red occupies the right forearm (this is called an “open-closed” technique). , The club is at a right angle at the point of impact. Similarly, if the reverse arrangement is seen at the finish, it is possible to perform a swing-up in which red occupies the left forearm and blue occupies the right forearm (this is a "closed-open").
