Description

  The present invention relates to a golf club head assembly, and more particularly to an improvement in the configuration of various golf club heads such as drivers (including fairway wood), irons, putters, and the like.

  Since golf is a mind game and psychological factors become an important factor, there is a problem that it is difficult to form an accurate golf sense because each person's personality is reflected. In particular, beginners often have an undesired golf posture due to the use of hasty golf clubs and do not improve their ability.

  The main requirement for golfers, which is generally regarded as important in golf, is relatively slow during backswing to accurately set the course of the golf ball without disturbing the striking posture when using the golf club. Operation of the golf club, hitting with the wrist only when using the golf club, minimizing the so-called coking phenomenon, controlling the force not to apply too much force when using the golf club Do not head up (because the head does not look at the ball position after hitting the ball, it can be raised), set the rhythm and timing accurately in the operation of the golf club, etc. These various matters are largely due to psychological factors due to the golfer's sudden use of golf clubs.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a golfer's visual concentration in the head, and to make the head keep a close eye even at the time of hitting, such as psychological hitting stability and prevention of head-up, self-control of back swing, etc. Provided is a golf club head assembly having various functions and effects.

The fourth of the golf club head assemblies of the present invention for solving the above problems is as follows:
As a means for guiding the line of sight of the golfer when hitting a ball on the hitting surface F of the head H of the iron I, it is connected to the head face HF, which is the bottom surface of the head H, and adjacent to the neck portion N having a bottom surface that contacts the ground when hitting the ball. A plurality of slip lines SL that are indented by a negative line or protruded by a positive line are provided on the slip area SA.

The fifth of the golf club head assemblies of the present invention for solving the above problems is as follows:
A rib that extends rearward with a concentrated surface tool 30 having a predetermined shape formed on the striking surface F of the head H of the putter P, and a line-of-sight guide flag 40 that extends rearward above the head H. It is characterized in that it is provided integrally with or separately from the head H as a shape, and on the line-of-sight guide flag 40, a line-of-sight guide protrusion as a line-of-sight guide means is integrally formed with an extension of a predetermined shape.

In order to solve the above problems, the sixth golf club head assembly of the present invention comprises:
The line-of-sight concentration guideline 60, which is a predetermined polygonal shape that converges or diverges with respect to the upper reference line L of the hitting surface F of the head H of the driver D, is indented on the upper surface CR of the head, positively protruding, and linear printing. It is characterized by comprising one or more by any one method of the body.

The seventh of the head assemblies of the golf club of the present invention for solving the above problems is as follows:
A mark body having a predetermined shape on a center line C in the striking line direction or a predetermined position other than on the center line C of the head upper surface CR in contact with the striking surface F of the driver D, iron I, or putter P. One or more line-of-sight concentration marks can be provided.

  According to the configuration of the present invention as described above, since it has a psychological and geometrical gaze concentration effect, it has the effect of increasing the neutrality and slowing down and swinging the putter. . Therefore, careful operation of the preferred golf club is naturally captured by the golfer's body. In addition, in the case of an important swinging motion of a putter, that is, a backswing, a golfer concentrates as an effect of focusing the line of sight on the hitting portion, which has an effect of preventing a sudden swinging motion. Therefore, the head-up posture to be prevented can be further minimized.

  The preferred configuration and technical idea of the present invention can be applied to all golf clubs as various embodiments. In the following, while keeping the same basic technical idea, a driver (hereinafter referred to as fairway wood) is used. The present invention will be described as an embodiment applied to an iron and a putter, and a modified example thereof, and the same type of head and the reference numerals in the corresponding parts of the head will be used the same regardless of the type of golf club. .

  FIGS. 1a to 1d show a first embodiment in which the head of the present invention is applied to an iron I and its modifications. As shown in the drawing showing only the head H of the iron I, conventionally, a plurality of parallel friction lines S such as inscribed lines are formed on the hitting surface F in order to generate friction and prevent the golf ball from slipping. . As shown in FIG. 1a, the iron I of the present invention has a machine-guided line-of-sight guidance channel C1, C2 indented in a substantially channel shape (groove shape) at both side ends with respect to the striking surface F toward the lower side. The gap d is formed to be narrow.

  FIG. 1 b shows, as a first modification, metal coloring, grouting, knurling, carbon coating, and metal powder coating at the center of the striking surface F so that an approximate V-shape is formed on the friction line S on the striking surface F. A line-of-sight guide figure G is formed by forming a colored portion Cf by a predetermined forming method such as the above, and providing non-colored portions Nc1 and Nc2 of a general metal surface plated at both ends.

  The line-of-sight guide figure G formed by the colored portion Cf and the non-colored portions Nc1 and Nc2 is an acute-angled V shape as shown in FIG. 1c of the second modified example, and the head as shown in FIG. 1d of the third modified example. It can be configured by a small V-shape formed adjacent to the lower bottom surface portion of H, and the vertex P of the figure formed by these is preferably located on the center of gravity of the iron I.

  The line-of-sight guide figure G gives the golfer high visibility at the time of hitting the ball. Therefore, the line-of-sight guide figure has the effect of visually and psychologically guiding the concentration of the line of sight to the golf ball and the correct hitting ball when the iron I is operated. Since G exists, the golfer intentionally hits the golf ball within the hitting point formed by the line-of-sight guide figure G, and therefore does not change the line of sight from the head H until the end. The problem caused by can be wiped out.

  2a to 2c show a second embodiment having both technical ideas, and similarly represents an iron I. FIG. The iron I includes various line-of-sight concentrated spheres attached to the back surface CB of the striking surface F, and the line-of-sight concentrated sphere is a golf ball cut in the shape of a ½ or ¼ sphere as shown in FIG. The gaze-concentrating sphere 10 of the shape of the object, the hemispherical gaze-concentration sphere 11 of the steel ball as in the first modification of FIG. 2b, and the gaze concentration of the star-shaped decoration as shown in FIG. 2c of the second modification. It is provided in various shapes such as a sphere 12.

  The line-of-sight spheres 10, 11, and 12 can be separately molded and attached with steel balls, stainless steel, and synthetic resin materials, or can be formed integrally with the iron I. More preferably, the line-of-sight spheres 10, 11, and 12 The center of gravity g and the center of gravity gh of the head H are preferably matched.

  By using the above-described line-of-sight spheres 10, 11, and 12, the golfer can hit the line-of-sight sphere and the golf ball B without being aware of the head H of the iron I against the golf ball B located on the batting line L. Therefore, it is very easy to visually and psychologically match the hitting center point, so that the correct hitting is induced and the posture correction is naturally performed.

  FIG. 3a shows the case where the third embodiment of the present invention is applied to an iron. In contrast to the iron I having a general configuration in which the bottom surface of the iron I head H connected to the head face HF of the bottom surface portion of the iron I is in contact with the ground at the time of hitting the ball is extended from the neck portion N, the present invention is directed to the iron I. A plurality of slip lines SL which are indented by an inscribed line body are provided in various shapes on the slip area SA adjacent to the neck portion N of the head H of the head H.

  As shown in FIG. 3 a, the slip line SL is a negative line or protruding line that is machined across the width of the head H, and is located closer to the neck N than the center line NC of the head H. Is desirable. The number of slip lines SL is not limited, and can be W-shaped as in the second modified example of FIG. 3c, and extended from the head face HF as in the first modified example of FIG. A slip figure SD that is configured to extend to the opposite surface of the surface F and that reduces friction during hitting can be configured to be added to the slip line SL.

  Further, in the case of the iron I having a configuration in which the wedge liner W including the wedge-shaped wedge pin WP is formed on the bottom surface of the head H as in the third modification example of FIG. It can be formed in various shapes extending from the part.

  In the present embodiment, the slip line SL has an effect of increasing the flight distance by reducing the friction with the ground, and the concentration of the golfer's line of sight and the role of the guide during the operation of the head.

  FIG. 4 shows an example in which the technical idea of the present invention is applied to the putter P. The body portion BD opposite to the striking surface F of the head H of the putter P shown as an example is shown in FIG. Since the line-of-sight concentration sphere 25 such as a golf ball cut in the shape of a hemisphere, a quarter sphere, or a hemisphere of a steel sphere is attached integrally or separately, the same effect as in the second embodiment can be obtained.

  FIGS. 5a to 5d show a fifth embodiment in which the head of the present invention is also applied to a putter and individual variations thereof. As shown in FIG. 5b of the rear view of FIG. 5a, the head H including the shaft SH for fixing the shaft of the putter P is integrally formed on the striking surface F with a predetermined thickness t, or separately. It is provided with a concentrated surface tool 30 which is processed and attached with a metal plate material. The concentrating surface tool 30 is configured by a separate plate as a graphical component in which a central inverted triangle concentrating mark 31 and guide marks 32 on both sides are configured in a regular triangular shape, or the head H The side surface margin V of the hitting surface F is cut and configured.

  Further, the line-of-sight guide flag 40 extended rearward by an arbitrary length L2 on the upper side of the head H is configured integrally with or separately from the head H as a rib shape extending rearward. A line-of-sight guide unit 41 of a protruding linear body is provided.

  FIG. 5c shows a first modification of the present embodiment, in which the line-of-sight guide projection 51, to which the line-of-sight guide flag 50 of the head H is extended backward, is formed in an inverted triangle shape having a guide line 52 indented in the center. The concentrated surface tool 55 on the striking face F is exemplarily represented by various polygonal shapes and partition lines.

  According to the putter P having such a configuration, in the case of an important swinging motion of the putter P, that is, a backswing, the golfer extends to the concentrating surface 55 and the rear thereof in order to hit the golf ball on the concentrating surface 55. The line of sight is moved according to the line-of-sight guide means of the line-of-sight guide flag 50, so that a slow impact on the golf ball is induced, and an effect of suppressing a sudden swing motion is obtained, thereby minimizing head-up.

  FIG. 6A is a perspective view showing a sixth embodiment in which the head of the present invention is applied to the driver D, and FIG. 6B is a perspective view showing a modification thereof. The driver D has gaze concentration guidelines 60 for various graphic bodies that converge or diverge with respect to the upper reference line L of the hitting surface F of the head H.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the line-of-sight concentration guideline 60 can be configured by indentation (sinking), positive protrusion (relief), or a simple linear print on the upper surface CR of the head. Various shapes can be adopted as the figure. A common feature of the apex AP of these line-of-sight concentration guidelines 60 is that the center of gravity G of the head H of the driver D is positioned on the batting line T on which the driver D moves.

  Furthermore, in addition to the single line-of-sight concentration guideline 60 as shown in FIG. 6a, as a first modification, there are three line-of-sight guide lines 60, 61, 62 on the head upper surface CR as shown in FIG. As a modified example, as shown in FIG. 6c, there is an inverted triangular line-of-sight concentration guideline 63, 64, 65, and the geometrical line-of-sight concentration effect provides accurate guidance of the golfer's line of sight and the direction of the hit ball. Can increase psychologically.

  The head D of the driver H can be configured to have various means capable of concentrating the line of sight at the time of hitting on the head upper surface CR continuous with the hitting surface F with which the golf ball of the head H contacts. In FIG. 7a, as one of such means, a line-of-sight concentration mark M1 having a substantially “W” shape is formed on the center line C of the head upper surface CR in the direction of the batting line.

  The line-of-sight concentration mark M1 is applied to the upper surface CR of the head in various shapes by a method such as printing, engraving, or positive engraving. In the present invention, in consideration of the concentration of the line of sight of the golfer and the direction of the line of sight, "It is represented by a letter shape. For convenience of explanation, although all are shown in the figure, the line-of-sight concentration marks M2 and M3 are selectively shown as dotted lines on the center line C in the hit direction of the head H and at predetermined positions other than on the center line C. Even if formed, it has the same effect. That is, the line-of-sight concentration mark M1 may be formed on the center line C, and instead, the line-of-sight concentration mark M3 is formed in a predetermined region on the neck portion side to which the shaft is attached, other than on the center line C. May be. Alternatively, the line-of-sight concentration mark M2 may be formed at a position opposite to the position where the line-of-sight concentration mark M3 is formed and the center line C. If the line-of-sight concentration mark is formed at least in any position, a golfer's line-of-sight concentration effect can be obtained.

  Instead of the line-of-sight concentration marks M1, M2, and M3, as in the first modification of FIG. 7b, the line-of-sight concentration marks MC1, MC2, and MC3 are integrally shown for convenience. It can be configured to be a maker sign with a typeface and brand shape, and in this way, it is possible to continuously promote the company and psychological impression to the user.

  The second modification of FIG. 7c shows a case where the present embodiment is applied to the putter P. The line of sight of various shapes such as a general “W” shape is also formed on the head upper surface CR which is the upper surface of the head H of the putter P. Concentration marks M4, M5, and M6 are attached to the left and right sides of the center line C in the striking direction, but these are shown as a unit for convenience.

  FIG. 7d shows a case where the present invention is applied to an iron I as a third modified example of the present embodiment, which is also shown together for convenience, but on the upper surface of the head H of the head H of the iron I in the striking direction. The line-of-sight concentration marks M7, M8, and M9 are selectively arranged according to the center line C, and the operational effects are the same as those of the putter P and the driver D.

  The gaze concentration mark of this embodiment acts as a kind of guidance mark that continuously induces the gaze at the time of hitting a golfer, and has a considerable psychological gaze concentration effect. Furthermore, since the desired movement trajectory of the head 1 can be easily grasped visually at the time of backswing, an effect of preventing a sudden backswing is also provided.

  The golf club head having the above-described configuration and having the line-of-sight guide function according to the present invention can be applied to heads of various shapes such as driver D (including fairway wood), iron I, and putter P, and various conventional golf clubs. However, it can be applied immediately and provides a marker that concentrates and guides the line of sight when the golfer hits the ball, thus enabling continuous head gaze, increasing the direction of hitting, and backswing This makes it easier to visually recognize the trajectory of the ball, so it is possible to improve the hitting posture and improve the ability due to psychological factors. In addition, since the line of sight is guided at the time of hitting the ball, the golf club head can acquire the habit of maintaining the line of sight continuously, and the golfer can naturally use the golf club carefully.
