Description

  The present invention relates to a golf swing training tool, and more particularly to a training tool that can easily and accurately acquire a correct swing.

  If the golf ball flies accurately in the intended direction during the golf competition and the flight distance increases greatly, the next shot can be easily performed, leading to an increase in score.

  In order to make a golf ball fly accurately and far away, it is important to perform takeback from the address, downswing from the top position, and subsequent follow-through with an ideal swing. The reality is that bad players are not getting the ideal swing.

  On the other hand, various devices and instruments for correcting the swing and acquiring an ideal swing have been proposed. For example, a swing training machine has been proposed in which a guide rail is provided along a so-called swing plane, and a golf club swing is guided by the guide rail so that an ideal swing can be obtained based on the swing plane theory ( Patent Document 1).

  In addition, positioning of the crotch of the player is performed by the crotch instruction unit, the movement of both knees during takeback and downswing is guided by the knee guide, and the ideal swing can be obtained by restraining the movement of the body. A swing practice tool is proposed (Patent Document 2).

  Also, attach one end of the string to the ball position at the time of addressing, attach the other end to the golf club, check whether the path drawn by the string during takeback is on the swing plane, and acquire an ideal swing A training tool that can be used has been proposed (Patent Document 3).

  However, in the training machine described in Patent Document 1, the trajectory of the swing plane and the club head differs depending on the player's body shape and club type, and it is necessary to prepare a guide rail corresponding to the player's body shape and club type.

  Further, the practice tool described in Patent Document 2 is troublesome because it is necessary to adjust the height of the crotch instruction unit and the knee guide according to the body shape of the player and the type of club.

  Furthermore, although the practice tool described in Patent Document 3 can confirm whether or not the club head is on the swing plane, it cannot confirm the opening or covering of the club head.

  This invention makes it a subject to provide the golf swing training tool which enabled it to acquire the correct swing easily and correctly in view of this problem.

  Therefore, a golf swing practice tool according to the present invention is a golf swing practice tool that allows the user to learn the swing of a golf club, and is attached to the mounting base part attached to the shaft or grip of the golf club. A rod and an indicator attached to the tip of the rod and positioned in the field of view of the user's golf ball at the top position of the takeback to indicate the posture and position of the shaft and the club head. Features.

  One of the features of the present invention is that when the user looks at the golf ball and takes back the club head to the top position, an indicator is positioned in the user's field of view, and the indicator causes the takeback of the takeback. The position and the position of the shaft and club head at the top position can be confirmed.

  This eliminates the need to look back and check the posture and position of the shaft and club head during takeback, and only by looking at the indicator in the field of view, the shaft is in the correct posture at the top of the takeback. The position and the correct position and position of the club head can be confirmed. That is, even if you think that it is the top position of the takeback, it is in front of the top position or overswing. It can be confirmed that the wrist is bent and the club head is opened or worn even when the top face is in the top position, or that the striking face is not parallel to the swing plane.

  As a result, it is possible to know the correct posture of the shaft and club head at the correct top position of the takeback from the indicator in the field of view, and it is ideal to simply downswing from the correct posture of the club head at the top position. Therefore, an ideal swing can be obtained simply by confirming the indicator, correcting the posture and position of the shaft and club head, and repeating the operation of downswing from the correct posture and position.

  The mounting base may be secured to the shaft or clip, but simply securing the mounting base may interfere with the rod during the downswing. Therefore, the mounting base is rotatably mounted around the shaft or the grip, and during the takeback, the indicator is positioned at the top position by the stopper at the use position where the posture and position of the shaft and the club head can be indicated, while the down is down. It is preferable that the rod is swung so that it remains behind in the downswing direction during the swing.

  The rod may have a certain length, but it is preferable that the length can be adjusted according to the player's physique, the golf club number to be used, and the like. Therefore, the rod is preferably configured to be extendable and contractible.

  Further, the indicator is preferably covered with a soft member, for example, a sponge so as not to catch eyes when it comes into contact with the body, and has a triangular shape with few sharp protrusions.

  In addition, when the attachment base is provided near the grip, in the case of a woman with long hair, there is a possibility that the hair will wrap around the attachment base when taking back and downswing. Therefore, it is preferable that the mounting base is covered with a hair curling prevention cover.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on specific examples. 1 to 5 show a preferred embodiment of a golf swing practice tool according to the present invention. In the figure, the golf club 10 includes a club head 11, a shaft 12 attached to the hosel of the club head 11, and a grip 13 attached to the upper end of the shaft 12.

  In the vicinity of the grip 13 of the shaft 12, an attachment base 21 of the swing practice tool 20 of this example is attached so as to be able to rotate around the shaft 12, the attachment base 21 has an insertion portion, and the insertion portion has a base portion of the rod 22. The rod 22 is detachably attached by inserting the attachment pin 21A into the insertion portion of the attachment base 21 and the hole of the base portion 22C of the rod 22.

  Further, a contact portion 21D is formed on the mounting base 21, a stopper cylinder 21B is fixed to the shaft 12, and a stopper 21C having a predetermined width is formed on the stopper cylinder 21B. Is to be positioned.

  A cover 24 for preventing the hair from being caught is attached to the shaft 12, and the cover 24 covers and covers the attachment base 21 and the base 22C of the rod 22 to prevent the hair from being caught.

  The rod 22 is curved in a substantially arc shape and is composed of two pipes 22A and 22B having a large diameter and a small diameter. The small diameter pipe 22B is inserted into the large diameter pipe 22A so as to be extendable and contracted. A scale 22D indicating the length of the rod 22 is formed on 22B.

  A triangular indicator plate (indicator) 23 is attached to the tip of the rod 22, and a white belt mark 23 A is provided on the indicator plate 23 so as to extend in a direction parallel to the shaft 12. A black sponge 23B is affixed so that the face and eyes are not damaged when the indicator plate 23 suddenly hits the player's face. The belt-like mark 23A is positioned within the field of view of the user who views the golf ball B at the top position of the takeback so as to indicate the posture and position of the shaft 12 and the club head 11.

  When practicing swing, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the player faces the golf ball B, holds the golf club 10, addresses it, and twists the waist and shoulders to perform takeback. It is possible to practice by assuming that the golf ball B is set without using the golf ball B.

  When the takeback is performed, the mounting base 21 of the swing practice tool 20 is positioned by the stopper 21C of the stopper cylinder 21B, and the rod 22 is in a use position where the indicator plate 23 can indicate the position and posture of the club head at the top position of the takeback. The rod 22 moves around the player's body, and when the club 10 reaches the top position of the takeback as shown in FIGS. The instruction board 23 enters the field of view of the player who is watching the golf ball B.

  Therefore, the ideal posture and position of the shaft 12 and the club head 11 at the correct top position of the takeback, specifically, the club head 11 does not open or cover and the striking face is oriented in a predetermined direction. The attitude of the corresponding instruction board 23 (direction and inclination of the band mark 23A of the instruction board 23 when the player sees) is confirmed in advance, and the ideal orientation of the instruction board 23 and the current The posture of the instruction plate 23 is compared.

  The club head 11 does not reach the top position, overswings, or the club head 11 reaches the top position but opens or covers, and the striking face is not parallel to the swing plane. When it is, adjust the position of the grip gripped by the player, the twist of the waist and shoulders so that it is exactly at the top position and the club head is in an ideal posture.

  When the ideal posture of the golf club 10 is found in this way, taking back while confirming with the indicating plate 23 so as to obtain such an ideal posture, and downswinging the golf club 10 from the top position is ideal. A typical swing can be performed, and by repeating this, an ideal swing can be obtained reliably.

  When the golf club 10 is downswing, due to the inertial force of the rod 22, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the rod 22 remains behind with respect to the downswing direction. Since the mounting base 21 turns around the shaft 12 and is positioned by the stopper 21C from the middle, the swing training tool 20 of this example does not obstruct the follow-through from the downswing, and the indicator plate 23 is used by the player. There is no risk of hitting the face or eyes.

  Further, the swing training tool 20 of this example has a simple structure including the mounting base 21, the rod 22, and the indicator plate 23, and does not incur a high cost.
