BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf practice tool for practicing a golf swing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various golf practice mats in which artificial turf is planted have been proposed as one of the practice tools for improving a golf swing. In particular, this mat is simply laid on the ground and There is a drawback that the impact on the body of the practitioner at the time of the shot will be too great and the practice of improving the miss shot such as duffling cannot be sufficiently achieved only by hitting the golf ball placed on the top. In order to improve this point, it is known that a practice mat is movably installed and devised so that the player can practice with the same feel as when making an impact on an actual golf course.

[0003] For example, as a concrete example thereof,
-57565 (first example) and JP-A-61-
The thing of 109583 (2nd example) etc. are mentioned.

The contents of each of the above examples will be summarized and described as follows.

That is, in the first example, the lower plates 4, 9, 12 are
Link means 5 to 7 or compression elastic bodies 10 and 15
The upper plates 3, 8 and 11 are connected via the
Mats 1 and 8 are fixed on the mat, and when practicing hitting a golf ball placed on the mat, the mat 1 is displaced forward and backward as well as up and down to give the practitioner a shot. The present invention relates to a shock absorber for a golf practice mat devised so as to buffer and reduce the reaction force, and in the second example, a hollow block body in which the mat 1 is attached to the top surface. An example is disclosed in which a mat 1 is stretched on a table 2, the block body 2 can be returned by a spring 3, and can be reciprocally moved by using a caster 4. When the golf ball 9 is impacted with the iron head 8, the mat 1 is recessed, and the caster 4 moves the block body 2 forward against the spring 3 to practice swinging. It can, mat 1 with block 2 are those which always automatically returned to the original position.

[0006]

Although it is recognized that the conventional techniques shown in the above-mentioned examples are also effective in golf practice, the following points need to be improved.

That is, in the first example, the mat 1 is moved back and forth according to the strength and depth of the impact of the club head and the height is changed up and down during the practice of the swing. Therefore, the response at the time of impact is extremely thin, and only a certain reaction is given at the time of a strong shot or a weak shot, so an impact shot by cutting a turf on an actual golf course It was hard to expect the practice effect of the touch that was subtle and lacking in reality compared to the case.

Also, in the second example, the mat 1
Is stretched, so the mat 1
Feels that the golf ball is hit by being recessed while moving forward, so there is no particular difference in the feel between strong shots and weak shots, and it is impossible to perceive the correct shot and miss shot. It is a thing.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, it has been desired by the user who is a golf practitioner to provide a training tool equipped with a golf mat having a shot feel on an actual golf course.

In the figure, GB is a golf ball, CH
Is a schematic view of a club head.

Next, the usage state of the practice tool 1 of this embodiment will be described.

By the way, when the iron shot is actually performed on the fairway green or when the bunker shot is performed, the lowest point of the club head CH at the time of the down blow is located slightly ahead of the ball GB. , It is a natural result of taking turf and sand of a bunker, and it is an accurate shot to acquire the resistance to the practitioner at the time of the impact, such as duffling. You will be able to determine for yourself whether you made a missed shot.

Therefore, in training,
It is important to keep this in mind.

Then, for example, a practice state when trying an iron shot on the fairway green will be described.

Prior to the practice, as shown in FIG. 5, one side wall 22 of the support base 20 of the practice tool 1 of this embodiment is prepared.
The side wall P4 of the platform P is integrally and firmly connected by the connecting tool P5 to set the training tool 1.

Next, the practitioner first places the ball GB on the artificial grass 11 of the moving mat 10 as shown in FIG.
3 determines an address on the artificial turf P1 of the platform P and enters a downswing from the top swing position as shown by an arrow (a) in FIG. 3, accurately impacts the ball GB with the club head CH, and subsequently, FIG.
As shown by the arrow (b) in, enter the follow-through and finish.

In this case, as described above, the club head CH
Since the lowest position of C is slightly ahead of the ball GB, the club head CH sweeps the artificial turf 11 strongly and passes over the upper surface of the base 11B like hitting the base 11B.
Although it itself moves toward the front against the spring 31, in this case, the front and rear wheels 12D, 1
Since 2E is rolled and moved on the front and rear inclined portions 24A and 24B of the support 20, the moving mat 10
Will be moved forward and downward as shown by the arrow (c) in FIG.

In the forward movement of the moving mat 10, the front wheel 12D is moved forward to move the stopping inclined portion 24 of the support base 20.
When the braking force is applied by riding on C, the braking force is finally stopped at the position where the rear restraint band 32B fully extends, and when the club head CH then separates from the artificial turf 11 and enters the follow through, the moving mat 10 The spring 3
The tension of 1 automatically returns the robot to the original position shown in FIG. 1, and waits for the next shot practice.

That is, as described above, in the case of this iron shot training, the training is carried out while displacing the moving mat 10 against the spring 31, and in addition, the moving mat 10 has a front and rear inclined portion. 24
Since it is guided along A and 24B, the feeling of resistance during a shot feels very similar to that of a real fairway shot, and training for an accurate shot is possible. The movement of the moving mat 10 does not cause an excessive impact on the practitioner's arm, wrist or the like, which may cause injury.

Regarding this iron shot,
It can be trained in the same way for shots of a ball GB that is hit in the rough or semi-rough, and it is natural that it can be effectively trained in the case of adjusting the sand when hitting the ball GB in a bunker. Is.

Further, in the training for the case where the shot is performed to sweep the turf as in the case of using the fairway wood, it is necessary to adjust the minimum position of the arc drawn by the club head CH during the downswing. It goes without saying that the same training can be carried out, and a repeated description of this point will be omitted.

[0047]

As described above, since the present invention has the contents described in detail with reference to the embodiments, the following remarkable effects can be obtained.

(1) Golf course-like training is possible. The moving mat resists the spring when practicing on shots.
And then move forward and downward along the front and rear slopes.
Therefore, when actually shaving the turf and shooting
A very similar resistance is given, and the fixed mat is not pulled
Club head speed is reduced due to
You can learn the correct shot without being lost.

(2) You can practice safely. The moving mat moves forward / downward when shot
Therefore, the exerciser's arms, elbows, wrists, etc. are given excessive shock.
To avoid injuries and fatigue
It decreases to the width.

(3) Practice efficiency is improved. Because the wheel rolls on the front and rear slopes,
Smooth movement of the moving mat, the efficiency of repeated practice
It is possible to improve.

(4) An iron shot feeling can be experienced. The stop slope is provided continuously to the front and rear slopes.
Therefore, the moving mat is spun near the end of its forward displacement.
The ring reduces its speed, and
It will be moved to the end and the swing will finish
Just before entering, the moving mat may interfere with the club.
So, in the sense of resistance when actually scraping the turf and throwing it out
A similar feel is obtained and the training effect is improved.
The movable mat controls the forward displacement due to the stop slope.
It is stopped effectively, and it is effectively aligned with the tension of the spring.
You can return to the table and expect efficient training.

(5) A feeling of address can be experienced. A platform for practitioners to determine addresses
The shot has the same feel as a tee ground
The training effect can be further improved.

(6) Improvement of durability of the moving mat. Since the moving mat can be moved as described above, the mat is not dragged by the club head and is less likely to be damaged.
It can be used for a long time.
