Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
More particularly, the present invention relates to a putting operation for putting golf or gateball balls in a desired direction, that is, a putter swing capable of directing the putter face in a desired direction at the hitting point of the ball. The present invention relates to a putting motion correcting device that corrects a player's putting motion by mechanically guiding or guiding the motion.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For a standard golf player, putting is more difficult than expected, but it is often said that the number of strokes in putting occupies about 40% of the total number of strokes as data representing the difficulty. Therefore, players are reluctant to train their skills to reduce the number of putting strokes.
[0003]
The basic stroke of the putting stroke is generally an arbitrary stroke width depending on the distance between the ball to be put and the cup, and the take-back and follow-through are put against the desired putting direction (launching direction) of the golf ball. This is to hit the center of the putter head while maintaining an angle of 90 degrees. Of course, as one of the player's inertia and playing techniques, there are cases where the toe (tip) part or heel (rear end) part of the putter head hits, but even in this case, the golf ball launch angle is in the target direction. On the other hand, it is important that the putter face is 90 degrees.
[0004]
However, it is extremely difficult for the player to always reproduce the above method required in the putting play, and it is said that there is only a method of acquiring inertia by training the player's own technique.
In order to acquire such a putting method as the player's inertia, various putting straightening machines and putting training machines have been proposed.
In particular, as a putting motion correction device that corrects a player's putting motion by mechanically guiding or guiding the swing motion of the putter, for example, the device has a rolling surface that can roll a golf ball and from this rolling surface. A pair of parallel guide rails having an arcuate upper end surface corresponding to the path of pathing in a straight line, and a holding part for holding a golf putter, and a guide member for guiding the holding part along the guide rail There is known a putter practice device provided with (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In this putter practice device, when the golf putter is swung along the guide rail, the putter face surface can maintain an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the desired putting direction of the golf ball. Means that the guide rail can be freely moved upward, and therefore it is necessary to consciously press the guide rail so that it slides on the guide rail. In addition, resistance due to sliding is applied to the padding, so that a smooth operation cannot be performed, and it is difficult to guide or guide a reliable operation, and a sufficient correction cannot be made.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  Therefore, the present inventor repeated earnest research, paying attention to the fact that the putter is swung close to the pendulum during the putting operation,Surface to be put onIf it is possible to guide or guide and correct the patching motion based on the swing of the swing arm having a fulcrum at a higher position, the padding motion is closer to the actual padding motion and faithful to the basics of the padding stroke. It has been found that it can be obtained in a state, and the present invention has been completed.
[0008]
  That is, the present inventionIt is used by placing it on the surface on which the putting operation is performed.A main body having a bearing portion at a predetermined height;
  In the bearing part,Surface to be put onWith a predetermined inclination angleSwing withA swing arm supported in a possible manner;
  A gripping portion for gripping the putter shaft;
  Attach this grip to the tip of the swing armA connecting portion that connects, and a rotating portion that enables the connecting portion to rotate around its connecting axis;
  The swing arm is composed of a hanging arm part that slidably swings from the bearing part, and a horizontal arm part that extends horizontally from the hanging arm part to the connecting part, and the rotating part is formed in the horizontal arm part or the connecting part. And
  A drooping arm portion is bent in a rocking surface of the first arm portion between a first arm portion that hangs in a circular arc shape from the bearing portion, and a free end of the first arm portion and a horizontal arm portion. It consists of an intermediate arm part that can be connected and can change and adjust the length of the swinging arm in order to move the putter head in parallel along the surface where the putting operation is performed during padding.This is a device for correcting a putting motion that corrects the putting motion by making it correspond to the movement of the gripping portion.
[0009]
  In short, the present inventionSurface to be put onThe swing arm is pivotally supported at a predetermined height above, the gripping portion of the putter shaft is connected to the tip of the swing arm, and the gripping portion can be rotated around the connecting axis. Thus, when the putting operation is made to correspond to the movement of the gripping portion, the putting operation can be smoothly guided or guided to be corrected, and the putting operation can be obtained in a state closer to the actual putting operation.
  Furthermore, since the present invention enables gripping of the shaft rather than the head of the putter, if the gripping can be released, most putters can be used regardless of the shape of the head. It is possible to correct the putting operation with a regular putter.
  More importantly, the oscillating arm is composed of a suspending arm part that slidably swings from the bearing part, and a horizontal arm part that extends horizontally from this suspending arm part to reach the connecting part, and the suspending arm part is A first arm part that slidably swings in a circular arc shape from the bearing part, and a free end of the first arm part and a horizontal arm part that are flexibly connected within a swing surface of the first arm part. By configuring the swing arm length with an intermediate arm that can be changed and adjusted, not only can the putter head move in an arc shape during padding, but it can also move in parallel along the surface on which the padding operation is performed, It is possible to learn the putting operation in a state closer to the actual putting operation.

The size, shape, and material of the base have functions, strength, and durability that allow the player's own feet to be placed, thereby stabilizing the putting motion correction device according to the present invention so as not to move. If there is, it will not be specifically limited.
[0012]
  here,The surface on which the padding operation is performed (hereinafter may be abbreviated as the “patching surface”) means the surface on which the player stands and performs the padding operation, that is, the surface of the green or the mat, and the predetermined height of the main body. Supported byWith respect to the bearing portion, the predetermined height means a height that is set in advance within a range that is lower than the position of the grip where the player holds the putter and does not hinder the putting operation. For example, the predetermined height depends on the total length of the putter, but when setting based on a standard length putter, for example,45-65 cm, preferably 50-55 cmSet to the height of. And, when actually used, in order to adjust the height of the bearing portion as appropriate according to the total length of the player's putter, the bearing portion height adjusting means for adjusting the height of the bearing portion as described above is used as the support column. It is preferable to attach to.
[0013]
The bearing height adjusting means is not particularly limited, and is configured by dividing the support column into an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder that can slide up and down in the outer cylinder, and attaching a screw to the outer cylinder. it can. The screw can fix the inner cylinder to a desired height by screwing, and thereby adjust (change) and fix the bearing portion from a predetermined height to a desired height.
[0014]
  In the present invention, this bearing portion isSurface to be put onThe swing arm is supported so as to be swingable in a circular arc shape at a predetermined inclination angle.
  As the swing arm, a plate-shaped body, rod-shaped body, or tubular body that can withstand rocking and is moderately rigid and lightweight so as not to require a large force for rocking can be used.
  The swing arm is preferably configured so that the distance from the bearing portion to the tip portion can be changed. Specifically, the swing armA hanging arm part that slidably swings from the bearing part and a horizontal arm part that extends horizontally from the hanging arm part and reaches the connecting part, and the rotating part is formed in the horizontal arm part or the connecting part. Is connected to the first arm portion so as to be swingable in a circular arc shape from the bearing portion, and the free end of the first arm portion and the horizontal arm portion so as to be bendable within the swing surface of the first arm portion.

Correct byYou can give examples, especiallyThe first arm is bent at the hanging arm of the swing armIt is preferable to configure.
[0015]
  The basics of the putting stroke are to keep the putter face surface at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the desired putting direction (launching direction) of the golf ball at an arbitrary stroke width as described above.Surface to be put onPut the putter head along as much as possibleIn parallelIt is preferable to move the oscillating arm, as described above, by configuring the swing arm so that the distance from the bearing portion to the tip portion can be changed. Also, some players often see an addressing operation in which the putter head is placed in front of the ball in order to match the putting direction, but this configuration also has the effect of allowing the putter head to move up and down.
  As will be described later, the swing arm transmits the swing to the head via the putter shaft, so that the transfer is performed smoothly without applying excessive force to the player's arm. It is preferable to further include a swinging arm length adjusting means for changing and adjusting the length so as to be elastically restored.
[0016]
  The swinging arm length adjusting means for this putting is not particularly limited.Consists of a drooping arm part that can swing from the bearing part, and a horizontal arm part that extends horizontally from the drooping arm part and reaches the connecting part.

AndChange and adjust the distance between the tip and end of the swing arm between the first arm and the intermediate arm and between the intermediate arm and the second arm so that they can be elastically restored in accordance with the putting operation. A pair of springs can be stretched and configured. This swinging arm length adjustment means during the putting operation allows the swinging arm to be changed smoothly, including the ability to change the distance from the bearing portion to the tip of the swinging arm, and to the player's arm. This is to prevent excessive force from being applied, but it is also possible to detect a deviation from the ideal padding trajectory by the magnitude of the resistance felt by the player's arm.
[0017]
Furthermore, the swing arm can be provided with an initial arm length adjusting means for adjusting the initial arm length. This initial arm length adjusting means comprises, for example, a swing arm comprising a hanging arm part that hangs down substantially from the side close to the bearing part, and a horizontal arm part that extends substantially horizontally forward from the suspending arm part. A pair of initial arm part length adjusting means for adjusting the length of each arm part may be interposed in the part.
