Description

  The present invention relates to a golf club grip assisting device for adjusting or learning a golf club swing, and further for improving strength.

  In a golf swing that uses a golf club, a series of forms from take back, back swing, top swing, down swing, wrist turn, and follow through is broken due to fatigue or for some reason. It is important to adjust or learn the form because the shot is not accurate if the form is bad. The proper form is based on how to grip a golf club grip, and adjusting the grip grip is important for accurate shot recovery and improvement (no patent document).

Adjusting or mastering the form of swinging this golf grab is not easy to find where the bad causes are grips, wrists, arms, shoulders, hips, etc. It is difficult to adjust or learn reliably.
An object of the present invention is to provide a golf club grip assisting tool that can adjust or learn a form for swinging a golf club in a short time and that is also effective for muscular strength training.

  This device is a semi-cylindrical grip aid formed of an elastic body and detachable from a golf club grip, having a length slightly smaller than the lateral width of the palm, and slightly larger than the outer diameter of the grip. While having a small inner diameter, a palm contact surface is formed on the side surface of the grip when attached to the grip. It is desirable that the grip assisting device of the present invention exhibits a columnar shape having a semicircular cross section, a semi-elliptical cross section, or a trapezoidal cross section when mounted on the grip. Further, the palm contact surface may be a flat surface, a twisted flat surface, or a wedge groove surface having a substantially V shape centering on the grip. The plane is an overall plane and includes a fine wavy or uneven surface.

  The grip assisting device of the present invention is preferably composed of an elastic inner layer made of rubber, resin, etc., and a sponge outer layer disposed on the outer periphery of the inner layer. In this configuration, the inner layer and the outer periphery of the grip can be closely fitted to each other, and the wearability is excellent. Further, the inner layer can withstand long-term use and has high durability, and the familiarity between the palm of the grip and the outer layer is good. In this case, the inner layer is formed by cutting a rubber or resin hose to a predetermined length and forming an incision in the axial direction, and the outer layer is formed by adhering a sponge to the outer periphery of the inner layer. According to this manufacturing method, the grip assisting device of the present invention can be mass-produced at low cost. Note that the grip assisting device of the present invention may be formed by molding using a mold, or may be an integral product of elastomer such as rubber or resin.

  The grip assisting device of the present invention attaches the grip assisting device to the grip and adjusts the grip to the correct gripping state when the golf swing form breaks down for some reason and the impact is not possible and the shot is disturbed. Usually, the two grip assisting tools on the left hand side and the right hand side are attached by being externally fitted to the grip so that the palm contact surface is substantially parallel to the face of the club head in approximately opposite directions.

  In a right-handed golfer, the left hand grips the rear end side (body side) of the grip with the little finger or the little finger and the ring finger, and the palm of the ring finger, the middle finger, and the index finger is applied to the palm contact surface of the grip assisting tool. The right hand grips the tip side (far side from the body) of the grip with the thumb and index finger, and places the palms of the little, ring, and middle fingers against the palm contact surface of the grip assisting tool. This makes it possible to rotate the golf grab consciously while giving a strong force to sandwich the grip between the palms of the left and right hands. In other words, the grip is not held by the left or right hand, but is held between the palms of the left and right hands. And a clear circular plane trajectory can be secured.

  When the correct shot can be executed by this means, the swing form itself can be adjusted. For this reason, the original accurate foam can be recovered even when the grip assisting tool is removed from the golf club. Of course, this means can also be applied to learning to improve the swing form. Note that only one grip assist tool for the right hand or the left hand may be attached to the grip to adjust or learn the swing form.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described together with Example 1 shown in the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a golf club C grip assisting device 1 according to the present invention includes an inner layer 2 formed of an elastomer such as resin and rubber, and an outer layer 3 formed of an elastomer sponge such as resin and rubber. Thus, it has a cylindrical shape with a notch 4 provided in the axial direction. The grip assisting tool 1 has a length that is slightly smaller than the lateral width of the golfer's palm and a diameter that is slightly smaller than the longitudinal length of the palm, and has a size that can be gripped to cover the circumference with the palm and fingers. Desirable from the viewpoint of sex.

  In this embodiment, the grip auxiliary tool 1 has an inner layer 2 formed by cutting a vinyl hose having an inner diameter of 15 to 20 mm and a wall thickness of 2 to 3 mm into a length of 50 to 70 mm and linearly cutting it in the axial direction. Yes. The outer layer 3 has a configuration in which an elastomeric plate-like sponge having a thickness of 10 to 20 mm is cut into a rectangle and adhered to the outer periphery of the inner layer 2. Thereby, the grip assisting tool 1 having a cylindrical shape including the inner layer 2 and the outer layer 3 and provided with a notch 4 serving as an attachment / detachment opening is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the inner diameter of the inner layer 2 is set slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the grip 10, and when the notch 4 is widened and attached to the grip 10, the inner layer 2 is tightly fitted onto the grip 10. . When the grip 10 is attached, the side surface 21 and the side surface 31 along the notch 4 of the inner layer 2 and the outer layer 3 are substantially in the same position as the side surface 11 of the grip 10 and become substantially flat so that the palm contact surface 40 Form.

  When the inner layer 2 and the outer layer 3 have large stretchability, as shown in FIG. 3, the palm contact surface 40 has a substantially V shape centering on the grip 10 when the grip assisting tool 1 is attached to the grip 10. And may have some twist. The outer layer 3 may have an elliptical shape or a polygonal cross section.

  Since the grip 10 has a thin tip end side (right side in the figure) and thick rear end side (left side in the figure), the inner diameter of the grip assisting tool 1 on the left hand side is set larger than the inner diameter of the grip assisting tool 1 on the right hand side. May be. Further, when the inner layer 2 of each grip assisting tool 1 is formed using a tapered cylinder and the inner diameter is tapered, the mounting property to the grip 10 is improved.

  The inner layer 2 and the outer layer 3 may be formed of the same elastomer. In this case, molding by a mold such as injection molding can be used in addition to the slitting of the cylindrical material. The inner layer 2 may be formed of an elastic cylinder made of resin. In this case, it is necessary that the inner layer 2 can be easily attached to and detached from the grip 10 by expanding.

  When the golf swing form breaks down and an appropriate impact cannot be obtained and the shot is disturbed, as shown in FIG. 2, the grip assisting devices 1 and 1 are placed in approximately opposite directions, and the palm contact surface 40 is the face of the club head. And is attached to the grip 10 so as to be substantially parallel to. When the grip 10 is gripped in this state, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the little finger L5 and the ring finger L4 of the left hand L protrude from the grip assisting tool 1 on the left hand side, and the thumb R1 and the index finger R2 of the right hand R grip the right hand side. It protrudes from the auxiliary tool 1. Therefore, the grip 10 is firmly held by the little finger L5 and the ring finger L4 of the left hand L, and is normally held by the thumb R1 and the index finger R2 of the right hand R.

  On the other hand, the gripping tool 1, 1 grip part is loosely held, and the palms of the left hand L and right hand R abut against the palm abutment surfaces 40, 40. The grip 10 is strongly sandwiched (held) between the palms of both hands. For this reason, the club head face is always in front in a series of forms that take back, back swing, top swing, down swing, wrist turn and follow through with the wrist fixed. The body can be easily (naturally) twisted (turned) around the axis of the body.

  Further, the right arm RA and the left arm LA are twisted evenly in the state where they are not twisted in front of the body, the right arm RA is stronger than the left arm LA on the left side of the body, and the left arm LA is twisted more strongly than the right arm RA on the right side of the body. ) Will be able to do naturally. For this reason, it is easy to take an appropriate form and an appropriate impact can be easily made.

  Swing is performed in this state, and the grip assisting tools 1 and 1 are attached until the proper swing and shot are made, and then the grip assisting tools 1 and 1 are removed while maintaining the form in which the proper swing and shot can be performed. And swing. By doing so, it is possible to easily adjust the deformed form or learn the optimum form. Further, by attaching the grip assisting devices 1 and 1 and repeating the swing, the swing can be performed with the grip 10 held by the little finger L5 of the left hand L, the thumb R1 and the index finger R2 of the right hand R, thereby enhancing muscle strength. It is valid.

  FIG. 6 shows, as a modification of the first embodiment, a case where only the left hand side grip assisting tool 1 is used and the swing form is adjusted. In this case, it is effective mainly for adjusting the form of take back, back swing, and top swing. Further, only the right hand side grip assisting tool 1 may be used. In this case, the effect is mainly effective in adjusting the down swing, wrist turn, and follow through forms. In the left-handed golfer, it goes without saying that the relationship between the left hand and the right hand described above is reversed.

  FIG. 7 shows a grip assisting tool 5 according to the second embodiment. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the outer layer 3 has a trapezoidal cross section. The trapezoidal cross section does not necessarily have to be an exact trapezoidal shape. The substantially trapezoidal shape is formed so that the outer surface 51 that forms the outer periphery is substantially parallel to the palm contact surface 40. Any cross section may be used. Preferably, it is desirable that the palm contact surface 40 and the outer surface 51 have a gentle wedge shape that forms a gradient in the direction perpendicular to the axis even though it is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the grip 10. Other than that, there is no difference from the first embodiment. Therefore, in FIG. 7, the same code | symbol is used for the component which is common in Example 1. FIG. In this configuration, when the grip auxiliary tools 5 and 5 are attached, the orientation of the outer surfaces 51 and 51 can be made to coincide with the inner line of the arm that grips the grip 10, and the angle of both arms can be accurately maintained. is there.

[Modification]
FIG. 8 shows a simulated golf club 6 for swing correction to which the grip assisting tool 1 of the present invention is attached. The length of the shaft 61 is about 1 meter, and a spherical weight 62 is attached to the tip. The simulated golf club 6 can be used to adjust or learn a form, and further train to increase strength. In this case, once the foam is adjusted using the simulated golf club 6, it is not necessary to remove the grip assisting tool 1, and the handling is easy.
