Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf swing straightening device useful for wearing a correct swing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a tool for correcting a golf swing, there have been golf clubs having a special shape and used exclusively for practice, and those utilizing a large-scale device. These impose a load on the user's body and try to lead them to the ideal swing of a professional golfer or the like.

However, the swing corrected by such a conventional device ignores the sex, age, height, weight and other physical characteristics of the user and is not suitable for the characteristics of the user. In many cases, it was hard to say that it actually contributed to the improvement of the swing.

Further, it is not possible for the person himself to confirm whether or not the swing corrected by the conventional equipment can be reproduced in the actual play without using the equipment.
In the end, getting the right swing was extremely difficult.

[0005]

Therefore, the present invention is
An object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing straightening device that can wear a correct swing that can be accurately reproduced during actual play.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

The golf swing straightening device of the present invention has a mounting portion 3 for mounting the golf club 1 on the grip end 2 and a light beam emitting portion 6 for emitting a light beam 5 in the extension direction of the shaft 4 of the golf club 1. The grip end 2 of No. 1 is detachable, and the position where the light beam 5 hits the ground 7 can be confirmed when swinging.

The mounting portion 3 may be a screw that is screwed into a hole 16 formed in the end surface of the grip end 2.

The mounting portion 3 may be a leg 19 that grips the peripheral surface of the grip end 2.

It is also possible that the light beam 5 is not emitted or dimmed at least while the grip end 2 is oriented upward from the horizontal during swinging.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The golf swing straightening device of the present invention has a mounting portion 3 for mounting the golf club 1 on the grip end 2 and a light beam emitting portion 6 for emitting a light beam 5 in the extending direction of the shaft 4 of the golf club 1. The grip end 2 of No. 1 is detachable, and the position where the light beam 5 hits the ground 7 can be confirmed during a swing.

FIG. 1 is a view of a golf swing straightening device according to an embodiment of the present invention mounted on a grip end 2 of a golf club 1, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view thereof.

This orthodontic appliance is a main body 10 having a light source 9 built in a cylindrical case 8 and a light beam which is attached to one end of the main body 10 and through which a light beam 5 emitted from the light source 9 passes. A perforated cap 11 having an injection portion 6 and an attachment cap 12 having an attachment portion 3 attached to the other end of the main body 10 and detachably attached to the grip end 2 of the golf club 1. .

The main body 10 has a light source 9 using a laser light emitting diode and a lens, a small button battery 13 for powering the light source 9, and a switch 14 protruding outside the main body 10 for turning the light source 9 on and off. ing. The light source 9 has, for example, a wavelength of the emitted light beam 5 of 630 nm to 670 nm,
The maximum output can be 5 mW or less. Since the light beam 5 is a laser beam 5 having high directivity, it does not spread and the position hitting the ground 7 can be visually recognized accurately. It is desirable that the light beam 5 does not cause damage even if it hits the eyes of a person, as long as it can be confirmed that the light beam 5 hits the ground 7 at a maximum distance of about 2 m from the light emitting portion 6. The light beam 5 is not limited to a laser beam.

The mounting cap 12 has a spring 1 for supporting and electrically connecting the button battery 13 inside.
5 are provided. The mounting portion 3 is a screw that is screwed into a hole 16 formed in the end surface of the grip end 2.

Since the mounting portion 3 of this orthodontic appliance is a screw, the user can very easily attach it to the golf club 1 during practice or remove it during play.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a swing practice using the golf club 1 to which this orthodontic appliance is attached, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing light emitted from a light source 9 when an ideal swing is performed. It is a figure which shows the locus | trajectory 17 in the ground surface 7 of the ray 5 which did.

According to this orthodontic appliance, the trajectory of the golf club 1 becomes clear. The user follows the trajectory 17 of the ray 5 that hits the ground 7 between the backswing and the follow swing.
By following the eye, it is possible to immediately find the tilt and shake of the swing direction, and to confirm whether the swing is correct.

An ideal and efficient swing is considered to be conditional on the fact that the direction of the trajectory of the golf club 1 due to inertia during the swing and the target direction of the ball 18 which the user intends to fly match. . When an ideal swing is performed, as shown in FIG. 4, the light beam 5 draws a straight trajectory 17 that is parallel to the width direction of the user's body and passes over the placed ball 18.

Further, since this straightening device can be easily attached to and detached from an ordinary golf club, it can be attached to a golf club used at the time of ordinary play to correct the swing. Therefore, it is possible to solve the problem that the correct swing worn during practice cannot be reproduced at the time of play because the golf club for practice and the golf club for practice are different.

In order to prevent the light ray 5 from hitting the eyes of the user or the surrounding people, when the position where the light ray 5 hits the ground 7 is out of the visible range for the user, the light ray 5 is not emitted, or It is desirable to dim. In this embodiment, the user operates the switch 14 of the main body 10 to turn the light beam 5 on and off.
The light beam 5 may be turned off or dimmed automatically.

For example, a means for blocking the light emitting portion 6 or a means for turning off or dimming the light source 9 is provided at least while the grip end 2 is oriented upward from the horizontal during swinging. As these means, a movable ball is put in the main body 10 so as to close the light emitting portion 6 when the grip end 2 is oriented upward from the horizontal direction, or a small switch for detecting the inclination or the weight direction. By providing
It is conceivable to turn off the light source 9 or switch the dimming.

FIG. 5 shows a golf swing straightening device according to another embodiment of the present invention with a grip end 2 of a golf club 1.
FIG. 6 is a diagram when it is attached to the above, and FIG. In this orthodontic appliance, the mounting portion 3 has a plurality of legs 19 for gripping the peripheral surface of the grip end 2, and the mounting portion 3 is easier to attach and detach than the mounting portion 3 using screws.

The golf swing straightening device of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned structure, and may have an appropriate shape, structure and the like.

[0026]

The golf swing straightening device of the present invention comprises:
With the above-described configuration, it is possible to acquire a correct swing that can be accurately reproduced during actual play.
