DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sports swing straightening device, and more particularly to a sports swing straightening device used for correcting a club head to a smooth trajectory during a golf swing. It is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a tool for correcting a golf swing, a golf ball rotatably mounted on a golf mat has been used. That is, by repeatedly hitting a golf ball attached to a golf mat with a golf club, a correct swing is acquired.

[0003]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional golf mat, if the golf ball is hit accurately without dubbing, the position of the impact can be confirmed to be accurate. Since the position at the time of follow-through is confirmed by self-judgment, there is a problem that wrong habits are likely to be formed at the position at the time of take-back and follow-through, which causes the score not to be extended.

[0004] For this reason, it is conceivable to go to a driving range and take a golf lesson in order to accurately correct the position at the time of take-back and follow-through and perform a swing smoothly, but it is expensive to take the lesson. However, there is a drawback that the swing cannot be easily corrected, for example, it takes time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and a sports swing corrector capable of easily producing a result in a short time by easily correcting the entire swing of golf or the like. The task is to provide.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such a problem, the present invention comprises a pair of arms 1, 1 provided with one end as a fulcrum and the other end openable and closable. 1, 1 is configured to rotate in a direction intersecting the opening and closing direction.

[0007] Further, the rotating portion of the arm body 1, 1 is provided on one end side.

Further, the arm body 1 is formed in a substantially V-shape with one end as a fulcrum.

Further, a head portion 6 such as a golf club is provided on one end side of the arm bodies 1 and 1.

[0010]

When using a swing corrector for sports characterized by the above-mentioned structure, first, the one end connected to the arms 1, 1 is opened and closed according to the width of the shoulder with the other end as a fulcrum. The other end of the arm body 1, 1 is gripped, and then the ordinary swing is performed while rotating the arm. At this time, since the arm bodies 1 and 1 are configured to be rotatable in a direction intersecting the opening and closing direction, if the swing state is not accurate, a series of swing processes of takeback, impact, and follow-through smoothly transition. Therefore, it is possible to judge a defect at the time of a swing of the player, and particularly, it is possible to accurately judge a top position at the time of takeback and a finish position of the follow-through.

In addition, since the arm bodies 1, 1 are configured to be rotatable around one end, the arm bodies 1, 1 can be smoothly rotated.

Further, since the arm bodies 1 and 1 are formed in a substantially V-shape, the swing can be performed while confirming the position of the head of the swing.

Further, by providing the head portion 6 at one end side of the arm bodies 1 and 1, it is possible to more realistically realize the sense of each swinging of takeback, impact and follow-through.

[0014]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a golf swing correcting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numerals 1 and 1 denote a pair of tubular arms each having one end bent in a substantially U-shape. The arm bodies 1 and 1 are rotatably connected in a direction intersecting the opening and closing direction.
The support shaft inserted through the bent portions 3 and 3 via the ring body 4 is shown.

Next, a case where the golf (right) swing is corrected using the swing correction tool 5 having the above-described configuration will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 2A, the other ends of the arms 1 and 1 are gripped to take a stance. At this time, since the ring body 4 is externally fitted to the support shaft 2 on the tip side of the arm bodies 1 and 1, the arm bodies 1 and 1 are opened to a predetermined shoulder width to take a stance at the time of swing. You can do it.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2B, the arm body 1, 1 is rotated from the stance position to the top position during takeback from the stance position while holding the arms 1, 1. At this time, since the one end side of the arm body 1 is rotatably supported via the support shaft 2, when the right hand is rotated to the top position during normal takeback, the left hand becomes the right hand. The user moves to a predetermined position while gripping the arms 1 and 1 along with the movement, and it is possible to confirm a proper twist and right hand position at the time of takeback.

That is, by moving the left hand to the position of the right hand, the position of the top at the time of appropriate takeback with the club normally held is obtained.

Then, the swing is started from the top position at the time of the takeback, the arm is rotated to the impact position, and then the arm bodies 1 and 1 are moved to the finish position during normal follow-through. At this time, since the one end side of the arm body 1 is rotatably supported via the support shaft 2, when the left hand is rotated to the finish position at the time of normal follow-through, the right hand becomes the left hand. Is moved to a predetermined position in a state where the arms 1 and 1 are grasped along the movement of, and the twist and the position of the left hand at the time of appropriate follow-through can be confirmed.

That is, by moving the right hand to the position of the left hand, a finish position is obtained at the time of follow-through with the club normally held.

In the above embodiment, the swing straightening tool 5 is used.
Is constituted only by the arm bodies 1 and 1. However, the construction of the swing straightening tool 5 of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 3
By providing a club head 7 for golf or the like via a rod-shaped body 6 at the tip of the arm, a feeling similar to that of an actual swing can be realized, and as shown in FIG. By attaching the synthetic resin grips 8, 8 to the rear ends of the arms 1, 1, respectively, the arms 1, 1 can be reliably gripped during swinging, and further shown in FIG. By providing the reference lines 9, 9 in the longitudinal direction of the upper surfaces 1a, 1a of the arm bodies 1, 1, the reference lines 9, 9 are opposed to the body at the time of stance, takeback and follow-through. As shown in FIG. 4D, the other end of the arm body 1, 1 is connected to the other end of the arm body 1, 1 with a string as a means for preventing opening and closing between the arm bodies 1, 1 and a rubber string. Thereby, the arm body 1,
It is also possible to limit the opening width of the arm 1 so that the distance between both hands holding the arm body during takeback and follow-through does not become wider than a certain interval. The point is that the configuration is not limited as long as it is constituted by a pair of arms that can be opened and closed at least on one end side and that is rotatable in a direction intersecting the opening and closing direction.

Further, in the above embodiment, the arm 1 is opened and closed freely by inserting the support shaft 2 provided with the ring 4 into the bent portion 3 at one end of the arm 1. Although it is pivotally supported, the opening / closing means on one end side of the arm bodies 1 and 1 of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. By providing a spherical bulging portion 11 on the other arm 1 so as to fit into the fitting portion 10, one end of the arms 1 and 1 may be connected. As shown in (1), one end of the arms 1 and 1 may be connected by a spring or a string-like body. Further, as shown in FIG. The arm bodies 1 and 1 may be connected by inserting a connecting rod 13 into the hole 12, and as shown in FIG. A connecting member 15 provided on the rotating body 14 to the other arm body 1 may be connected by rotatably connected with. In short, as long as one end is connected to be openable and closable, the means does not matter.

Further, in the above embodiment, both the arm bodies 1 and 1 are formed to have the same size. However, the dimensions of the arm bodies 1 and 1 of the present invention are not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, one arm body 1 may be formed to be shorter than the other arm body 1 to more appropriately grasp the feeling of gripping the golf club. The point is that the size of the arm body 1, 1 is not limited as long as the arm body 1, 1 is formed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the swing straightening tool is used for the golf swing straightening. However, the use of the swing straightening tool of the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, a head portion of a baseball bat may be attached to one end of an arm body and used for correcting a baseball bat swing. In short, if it can be used as a swing orthosis for sports, the purpose of use does not matter.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the arm members 1, 1 are rotatably constituted by connecting one end sides thereof. However, the rotating means of the arm members 1, 1 of the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, only the lower part 1b of the one arm 1 may be configured to rotate in a direction intersecting the opening / closing direction of the arm 1 and the lower part 1b. Only the arm body 1, 1 may be configured to rotate in a direction intersecting the opening and closing direction. The point is that the rotating means does not matter as long as the arm bodies 1 and 1 are configured to rotate in a direction intersecting the opening and closing direction.

[0027]

As described above, the swing corrector for sports according to the present invention is constructed such that one end of a pair of arms can be opened and closed at the other end so that the other end of the arm can be opened and closed. When the user grips the side, the other end can be opened and closed according to the shoulder width of the user's stance, and the arm body is configured to rotate in a direction intersecting the opening and closing direction. It can smoothly rotate to the through position and grasps the exact swing, especially the top position of the takeback and the finish position of the follow-through, compared to the case of a golf ball attached to a conventional golf mat. There is a remarkable effect that the score can be increased in a short period of time.

In addition, since the swing can be performed without taking up space, there is an advantage that the swing can be easily corrected.

Further, since the rotating portion of the arm is provided at one end, there is an advantage that the structure is easy and the productivity is high.

Further, by providing the pivot portion of the arm body in the middle of the arm body, there is an advantage that the rotation of the wrist can be performed more smoothly when swinging.

Further, with one end of the arm body as a fulcrum, approximately V
By forming it in a character shape, it is possible to grasp the position of the head at the time of swing, and there is an advantage that it is suitable for image training at the time of swing.

Further, by providing a head for golf or the like on the connected side of the arm, there is an advantage that the swing can be corrected by actually hitting the ball.

Further, by providing a blocking means on the other end side of the arm body for preventing the arm body from opening more than a predetermined amount, the arm body grasped at the time of swing is not released more than the predetermined amount. Another advantage is that the top position during takeback and the finish position during follow-through can be grasped.

Further, by making the left and right lengths of the arm body different, there is an advantage that the arm body can be gripped during swinging in the same manner as in the actual case.
