The present invention relates to a golf swing correction tool that plays the role of assisting golf swing (hereinafter, the user is a right-handed symmetric person).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-229754 proposes a golf swing correction device, but it is correction only for the upper body, not correction by movement in conjunction with the upper and lower bodies.

2004-229754

An ideal golf swing creates torsion of the upper and lower body around the waist axis, and the maximum torsional force is transmitted to the golf club by solving the torsion. It is done. Although indirect human body movement varies depending on each person, as long as there is no damage to the body, each person moves freely, and each person has a difference in their physique as well as the hardness and softness of the body due to the above indirect and age differences. It is extremely difficult for the body to remember the golf swing in a certain form even after repeated practice. All golf swing correction tools devised in the past are focused on the movement of only the upper body, and the upper and lower bodies around the waist axis are twisted and integrated to transmit them to the body in conjunction. It does not correct.

In the golf swing correction tool according to claim 1 (hereinafter referred to as the present invention 1), both arm members worn by the user are arm poles via ball joints 8 and 8 at both ends of the telescopic pole 1 with arm stoppers, respectively. 2 and 2, and the arm belts 3 and 3 formed so as to form a ring with a hook-and-loop fastener via ball joints 8 and 8 at different positions on both ends of the telescopic pole 1 with the arm stopper. To the cap 74 at the tip of the upper pipe 72 of the intermediate pole 7 via the ball joints 8 and 8 where the arm poles 2 and 2 are in contact with each other. The members for both thighs, which are connected to the universal bracket 75 and worn by the user, are attached to both ends of the telescopic pole 4 with a thigh stopper via the ball joints 8 and 8, respectively. Further, the thigh winding belts 6 and 6 are formed so as to form a ring with a hook-and-loop fastener through ball joints 8 and 8 at different positions on both ends of the telescopic pole 4 with the thigh stopper. The thigh poles 5 and 5 are connected to one end of a cap 74 attached to the lower pipe 73 of the intermediate pole 7 via the ball joints 8 and 8 where the two thigh poles 5 and 5 are in contact with each other. The intermediate pole 7 which connects the both arm members and both thigh members is constituted as a whole.

In the golf swing correcting tool according to claim 2 (hereinafter referred to as the present invention 2), the intermediate pole 7 of the present invention 2 has a structure in which an upper pipe 72 and a lower pipe 73 are inserted from above and below the single shaft 71, respectively. In addition, an endless elongated groove 76 having irregularities is formed in the bottom surface extending up and down around the upper peripheral surface of the shaft 71, and a sphere 77 fitted into the groove 76 of the shaft 71 is formed on one of the upper pipes 72. A presser cap 78 having a cylindrical shape and a bottom surface at the tip is fitted and held from the outside, and the length of the shaft free portion inserted at the upper end of the lower pipe 73

A stopper 79 for adjusting and fixing the lens at a desired position is provided.
The golf swing correction tool according to claim 3 (hereinafter referred to as “present invention 3”) is configured such that the telescopic pole 1 with the arm stopper and the telescopic pole 4 with the thigh stopper move the body for the user to obtain an appropriate golf swing. Although it has a structure in which a stretchable part that restricts the movement is fixed by a stopper, it can be used in a stretchable state without being fixed.

As an effect of the present invention, when the user wears a golf swing correction tool and performs a golf swing using the present invention 1, the members for both arms and the members for both thighs are linked by the intermediate pole 7 and centered on the waist axis. It plays the role of assisting proper golf swing by transmitting and remembering torsion and interlock of upper and lower body to both arms and both thighs.

If the present invention 1 is used as an effect of the present invention, the length of the telescopic pole 1 with arm stoppers of both arm members is further adjusted and fixed, and the arm winding belts 3 and 3 are attached. Both forearms holding the golf club are in a state of maintaining a triangle from the start to the end when the golf swing is performed.

When the present invention 1 is used as an effect of the present invention, when the user further wears the golf swing correction tool and performs a golf swing, each member is adjusted by the respective telescopic portion and fixed by a stopper. It has a structure that restricts movement. Therefore, if the upper body and the lower body are twisted around the waist axis and the golf swing cannot be solved properly, the ball 77 that rolls in the groove 76 of the shaft 71 stops and the movement of the body is restricted. I can't. Therefore, by taking advantage of the features of the present invention 1 and repeatedly practicing golf swings in the same manner as the machine, the members for both arms and the members for both thighs cooperate with the intermediate pole 7 in the upper body and lower body to transmit the interlock to the body. By doing this, it plays the role of assisting an appropriate golf swing in a short period of time.

If the present invention 2 is used as an effect of the present invention, if both the arm member and both thigh members adjust the length of the intermediate pole 7 and perform a golf swing, the upper portion of the shaft 71 inserted into the upper pipe 72 will be described. A ball 77 that is fitted in a groove 76 with an unevenness on the bottom surface that extends around the circumference rolls to roll, and twists the upper and lower body around the waist axis. When swinging, the upper pipe 72 rotates simultaneously as the ball 77 goes up and down around the inner peripheral surface of the groove 76 of the shaft 71, causing the shaft 71 to expand and contract, and the arms and thighs are linked to each other during the golf swing. It plays the role of assisting proper golf swing by transmitting and remembering.

If the present invention 3 is used as an effect of the present invention, the telescopic pole 1 with an arm stopper and the telescopic pole 4 with a thigh stopper further extend and retract to limit the movement of the body in order for the user to obtain an appropriate golf swing. The part is fixed with a stopper, but it can be used in a telescopic state without fixing.
