Description

  The present invention relates to a golf swing training device, and more particularly to a golf swing training device and a training device capable of training the muscles of the entire body required for golfing.

Generally, people who play sports such as golf and baseball train to improve their level. The types of training include training for improving the skills of each competition, muscle training for improving muscle strength, training for building physical strength, etc., and each training is performed alone or in combination.
Examples of training to improve competition skills include, for example, swing and putt practice in the case of golf, and muscle training to improve muscle strength. Fitness training includes jogging and swimming.
Through these various trainings, the level of each competition is improved.

By the way, as a training for golf, it is indispensable to practice swinging, which is the basis of golf.
The swing is composed of a series of operations such as setup (address), take back, back swing, down swing, impact, follow through, and finish.
Generally, the swing is performed according to the following procedure.
1: The player stands with the face of the golf club at a right angle to the target on the front surface, and stands with both feet parallel to the flying ball line formed between the target and the ball, and the position of the ball on the flying ball line Align the left heel with the inside of the heel at the right angle, and open the right foot to the shoulder width (adjusted to a width suitable for the length of the club to be used). (setup)
2: Move both hands together with the left shoulder to the front of the right foot. (Takeback)
3: Hold the grip firmly with your left hand, extend your left arm, twist your upper body, and raise your left arm to the level of your right shoulder. (Back swing)
4: The upper body twisted to the right in the back swing is returned to the left with the left arm extended. (Down swing)
5: The club head returned and swung down by the downswing is applied to the ball. (Impact)
6: After impact, swing out the club. (Follow-through)
7: The swing ends. (finish)

Golf is said to be indispensable to acquire accurate swings for technical improvement, because the golf swing has a great influence on the subsequent progress due to the quality of the swing performed in the above procedure.
Therefore, in recent years, various golf swing practice devices have been used.
For example, a golf swing practice device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-325523 is a golf swing practice for practicing the relationship between wrist return during takeback and wrist return during downswing during golf swing. Device.
JP 2000-325523 A

  There are many important points in the swing that is the basis of golf, such as the posture at the time of setup, how to grip the club, the orientation of the face of the club at the time of impact, etc. The most important point is the golf swing It is said to be the rotation of the body.

However, the golf swing practice device is for practicing the relationship between the wrist return during takeback during golf swing and the wrist return during downswing, and is not considered for body rotation. There is a problem that it is not a fundamental swing training.
Also, a golf swing training device (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-99233) is disclosed that is configured to prevent the hips from swinging by restraining the movement of the foot in consideration of the rotation of the body. The upper body rotation is not taken into account at all, so it is not enough for overall swing training.

〔Example of use〕
A training method using the golf swing practice apparatus 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
5-10 is explanatory drawing of training using the golf swing practice apparatus 1 of this invention, and performs golf swing training with the following method.
(1) Check the address position (Fig. 5),
(2) Start the start of back swing (FIG. 6),
(3) Check the top of swing (the state where the tip of the club is at the highest position when holding the club) (Fig. 7)
(4) Start a downswing (back turning operation to swing the club down) (FIG. 8)
(5) Check the position and timing of the impact (the moment the club face hits the ball) (Figure 9)
(6) Continue to follow-through (FIG. 10).

The practitioner P aligns the position of the spine with the spine fixing rod 2 of the golf swing practice apparatus 1.
At that time, in order to match the body shape of the practitioner P, adjust so that the seventh cervical vertebra of the practitioner P intersects the spinal fixation rod 2, and the line connecting the seventh cervical vertebra and the sacrum is the line of the spinal fixation rod 2 Try to be on top.
In the drawing, the extension line of the spine that naturally connects the sacrum from the seventh cervical vertebra when the practitioner P inserts the head from the buttocks into the U-shaped bent portion formed on the spinal fixation rod 2. Is positioned on the line of the spinal fixation rod 2, that is, on the virtual axis (see FIG. 2) erected from the floor surface.
Then, the shoulder support 3 is adjusted so that when the practitioner P stretches his arms sideways, the shoulder support 3 is positioned under the armpit, and the backswing start position confirmation bar 5 is positioned at the umbilicus of the practitioner P. The position of the waist position confirmation pad 6 is also adjusted so that the waist of the practitioner P contacts the waist position confirmation pad 6.

The golf swing practice device 1 of the present invention can train the trainee P while being aware of the movements important for the golf swing, and can simultaneously train the muscles of the entire body including the lower body. It can be done.
The training procedure and training contents are as follows.
(1) First, the practitioner P stands with the spine fixed to the spine fixing rod 2 of the golf swing practice device 1 (address). At this time, it is confirmed that the left shoulder and the left hip joint are higher than the right side, and the position of the spine is inclined 5 to 15 ° to the right. Both arms extend along the shoulder support 3 (FIG. 5).
(2) Start the backswing (FIG. 6). Since the spine fixing rod 2 is rotatably installed, it follows the movement of the practitioner P. The practitioner P starts the backswing with the consciousness of depressing the left knee forward. At this time, since both arms are extended along the shoulder support 3, the backswing is generally performed during the backswing. It is not possible to turn a golf club that tends to fall into place by hand, and it is possible to cultivate the feeling of not turning it by hand.
(3) Check the position and posture of the top of swing (FIG. 7). Here, during the top-of-swing, the left side of the hip joint does not rise from the floor, and the hip joint is trained such that the left side is lowered and the right side is raised.

(4) Start a downswing (FIG. 8), and learn the lower body movement when switching from top of swing to downswing. In the cut-back, the upper body is rotated by the lower body lead so that the spine fixing rod 2 and the spine are not displaced so that training can be performed while being aware of how to move the lower body. At the start of the downswing, the left hip joint is raised by pushing the right hip joint to the left.
In the downswing, training is performed to sense that the twist of the upper body muscles is restored by the lower body lead. Here, the left hip joint returns to the same position as that at the time of addressing, and the right hip joint learns to move from a low position to a high position.
(5) Confirm the position and timing of the impact and follow-through (Figs. 9 and 10), and acquire the feeling that the right elbow will not appear in the flying line direction from the right hip joint until the moment of impact is exceeded.

  The golf swing practice device 1 according to the present invention allows the trainee P to train on the spine fixing rod 2 erected along the virtual axis according to the spine, so that the body rotation most important for the swing can be achieved. The sense of the axis of rotation can be easily learned, and by rotating the body around the same axis, how the hip joint and knee move, how the arm moves accordingly, and when the center of gravity moves It is possible to train while conscious of whether to move, etc. And by repeating the above training, it will be possible to practice golf swing of ideal form, at the same time at the time of swing It is also possible to train the muscles of the entire body, including the required lower body.

In the above-described embodiment, the practitioner P extends both arms along the shoulder support 3, but can also perform training in the same manner even if he holds the club.
For example, after training without grasping the club, such as confirming the backswing start position and arm movement during backswing, and then practicing the position and movement by grasping the grab, we will carry out more effective training It has become something that can be.
Further, when it is desired to effectively train muscles, the rotation of the spine fixing rod 2 of the golf swing practice device 1 is controlled so that no load is applied during the backswing operation, and a load is applied during the downswing operation. By doing so, it is possible to increase the muscular strength that is effective for the movement from the top-of-swing to the down-swing, which is said to exert the most muscular strength in golf.
