FIG. 1 is a side view of a golf club (putter) according to the present invention, in which 11 is a straight shaft, 12 is a grip provided at a base end on the shaft of the shaft 11, and 13 is the shaft. A bent portion 11a is provided at the distal end portion, 11a is a vertical portion as a shaft portion provided in a substantially vertical direction from the bent portion 13 toward the ground surface G, and 14 is substantially perpendicular to the vertical portion 11a. This is a putter head provided such that the sole thereof is substantially parallel to the ground G. In FIG. 1, the vertical portion 11a is provided integrally with the shaft 11, but as shown in FIG. 4, the vertical portion 11a is provided integrally with the putter head 14, and the vertical portion 11a is provided. The bent portion 13 at the upper end of the shaft 11 may be connected to the shaft 11.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a marking portion provided on the shaft 11 with a width T of approximately 12 cm to 13 cm from the bent portion 13 of the shaft 11 toward the grip 12 side. It is constituted by winding a red tape around the shaft 11 in the range of the width T. That is, the marking portion 15 is provided at a width T within a predetermined range on the head 14 side from the substantially middle portion M of the entire length of the shaft 11 of the golf club.

The color of the marking portion 15 may be any color as long as it is different from the color of the shaft 11. However, the color of the marking portion 15 can be clearly distinguished from the color of the shaft 11, and is a prominent color so that the line of sight is easily concentrated. It is preferable to configure. For example, when the shaft 11 is a metal color (silver, gold, etc.), yellow, blue, and the like are preferable in addition to the red color. When the shaft 11 is black, the shaft is white in addition to the red, yellow, and blue. You may comprise.

The marking portion 15 may be formed by winding a tape as described above, or alternatively, may be formed by painting the width T of the shaft 11 with the above-mentioned paint of each color. good.

The width T of the marking portion 15 can be set to various widths other than the above, and can be set to a shorter range (for example, about 12 cm or less to about 5 cm or less) or a longer range (for example, 13 cm or more). ).

In the golf club, as shown in FIG. 2, the impact point P of the putter head 14 is located on the extension line of the shaft 11 from the bent portion 13 of the shaft 11 in the head direction. The golf ball B is located on an axial extension of the golf ball B.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the marking portion 15. FIG. 3A shows a horizontal stripe-shaped line in a color different from that of the shaft 11 in the range of the width T. (B) is a diagonal stripe line in a color different from that of the shaft 11 in the range of the width T, and (c) is a shaft 11 on the head 14 side (lower end) in the range of the width T. A lower marking portion 15b of several centimeters in a color different from that of the shaft 11 is provided so as to be orthogonal to the shaft 11, and an upper marking 15a of the same color and several centimeters in width is provided on the grip 12 side (upper end) so as to be orthogonal to the shaft 11. The marking portion 15 having the width T is formed by the lower marking portion 15b and the upper marking portion 15a. FIG. 4D shows the upper and lower marking portions 15a and 15b shown in FIG. 4C having a smaller width and a linear shape perpendicular to the shaft 11, and FIG. 5E shows the marking portions 15a and 15b shown in FIG. (F), (b) and (b) in FIG. 11 (f) correspond to the upper and lower marking portions 15a and 15b corresponding to the player's line of sight at the time of putting on the shaft 11. The shaft front side 11 ′ is formed by two circular points, and FIG. 9 (g) shows the shaft front side 11 ′ corresponding to the player's line of sight at the time of putting. It is.

A plurality of lines may be provided in the middle of the upper and lower marking portions 15a and 15b in FIG. (E), and the marking portions 15a and 15b in FIG. And various shapes such as an elliptical shape and a dot shape. Also, the colors of the upper and lower marking portions 15a and 15b in FIGS. (C) to (f) may be different from each other. In addition, various markings can be applied as long as the markings can specify the upper end and the lower end of the width T. In addition, these marking parts 15 can also be comprised by coating etc. not only a tape.

In the putter shown in FIG. 4, the marking portion 15 is provided from the connection between the bent portion 13 at the upper end of the vertical portion 11 a and the shaft 11 in the gripping direction of the shaft 11.

The present invention is configured as described above, and the operation of the present invention will be described below.

In order to put the golf club (putter) according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, a golf ball B is placed at the impact point P of the putter head 14 in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. Then, swing back in the direction of arrow B and hit the ball B.

At this time, the line of sight is placed near the bent portion 13, but since there is a marking portion 15 of a different color from the shaft 11 in the grip direction from the bent portion 13, the line of sight is located near the bent portion 13. The golf ball B can be easily separated from the line of sight.

Further, since the marking portion 15 exists within a certain range of the width T, it is possible to prevent the concentration of the line of sight and to appropriately disperse the line of sight, thereby enabling the head 14 to move in the left and right directions (see FIG. 4). It is possible to effectively prevent the shake in the directions of arrows C and D) or the shake in the directions of arrows E and F during takeback.

Since the marking portion 15 is made of a conspicuous color such as red, which is different from the shaft 11 as described above, when takeback is performed as shown in FIG. In accordance with the movement in the direction, an afterimage 15 ′ of the marking section 15 appears behind the marking section 15, and by looking at the afterimage 15 ′, accurate takeback can be performed based on the trajectory of the afterimage 15 ′. .

That is, when the takeback is accurately performed, the afterimage 15 ′ is formed substantially along the takeback and at the rear of the shaft 11 so that the width T of the marking portion 15 is a width in the vertical direction. It appears in a rectangular shape, and its upper and lower lateral trajectories N and N ′ (the longer sides of the substantially rectangular shape) appear straight behind the shaft 11. At this time, since the line of sight of the player is near the substantially bent portion 13 of the shaft 11, the afterimage 15 'naturally enters the field of view of the player together with the lateral trajectories N and N'.

Therefore, the player can easily correct the head 14 during takeback such that the lateral trajectories N and N ′ of the afterimage 15 ′ entering the field of view are linear in the takeback direction, Thereby, accurate takeback can be performed.

Alternatively, the player looks at the entire after-image 15 ′ entering the field of view at the time of take-back, so that the lateral trajectories N and N ′ (the long sides of the rectangular shape) of the after-image 15 ′ are in the take-back direction. The head 14 can be modified so that the head image becomes linear and the entire afterimage 15 ′ has a linear rectangular shape long in the takeback direction, whereby accurate takeback can be performed.

Further, since the afterimage 15 ′ also appears at the time of swinging in the direction of arrow B after takeback, it is possible to suppress the movement of the head 14 even at the time of swinging in the direction of arrow B for the same reason as described above. It is capable of performing accurate putting.

In the case of the upper and lower marking portions 15a and 15b shown in FIGS. 3 (c) to 3 (f), the afterimages of the upper marking portion 15a and the lower marking portion 15b appear linearly. Since the lateral trajectories N and N 'are formed, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

As described above, according to the golf club of the present invention, the marking portion 15 is provided near the bent portion 13 and the player's line of sight is moved to the marking portion 15 so that the line of sight to the golf ball B can be concentrated. In this way, the player's line of sight can be easily separated from the golf ball, thereby releasing the player from extreme tension. In addition, the afterimage of the marking portion 15 generated during takeback prevents the golf club from being shaken. It allows accurate takeback and, in turn, swing, and makes accurate putting easier.

In other words, concentration of the line of sight on the golf ball B is prevented, and the afterimage of the marking portion 15 generated at the time of takeback releases the feeling of extreme tension. Can be completed and accurate putting can be performed.

Although the above embodiment has been described with a so-called putter, the present invention is not limited to the putter but can be applied to various golf clubs such as iron clubs and wood clubs. That is, as described above, the present invention can exert the effect most in the putter having the vertical portion 11a, but a golf club without the vertical portion 11a (a golf club in which the shaft extends straight to the head). Even if a marking portion is provided in the, the same effect as described above can be exerted.

[0042]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the golf club of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the line of sight from being concentrated on the golf ball, to easily separate the line of sight of the player from the golf ball, and to release the sense of tension. In addition, the afterimage of the marking portion generated at the time of takeback prevents the golf club from being shaken, and has an effect that an accurate shot can be performed.
