Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The invention relates to a golf putter, and more specifically, a mirror body including a convex surface is disposed at the bottom of the shaft, so that the putter can be easily seen without raising the head. The present invention relates to a golf putter which allows a golf ball to be hit and a putting motion to be performed while checking the distance and direction to the target, that is, the cup.

When hitting a golf ball on the green into the cup, it is important to check the distance between the golf ball and the cup and the direction in which the ball will be hit (referred to as the putting line) before hitting the ball. After confirming the distance and the putting line before hitting the ball, it is desirable to hit the ball onto the prescribed putting line without raising your head and keeping your eyes on the ball. However, when hitting a golf ball, players often tend to raise their head and look at the cup because they are concerned about the position of the cup. Raising one's head in this way is called a head up.
This head-up tends to cause errors in the putting operation, and as a result, mistakes are likely to occur, resulting in the inability to hit the golf ball on the correct trajectory. Therefore, a golf putter club has been proposed in which a mirror body 4 is disposed within the putter head, as shown in FIG. 6, so that the putter club can be viewed without raising the head during putting. This allows you to visually check the position of the cup 9 while looking down, but when you place the golf ball 8 and address it as shown in Figure 6, the ball gets in the way and you cannot see the cup 9. I often end up not being able to do anything.

A device that allows you to visually check the position of the cup with a golf ball placed on it is the Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 52-
In Publication No. 15733, a mirror body is attached to the head of the putter,
A golf club has been proposed in which the mirror surface of a mirror body that can protrude to the upper back of the head is inclined with respect to the ball hitting surface of the head. According to the golf club mentioned above, the position of the cup can be confirmed by using the mirror mounted above the head without having to raise the head while looking down with the golf ball placed on it. There are inherent defects or problems that need to be improved. That is, (a) since the mirror body is attached above the head, it cannot directly reflect the ball on the hitting surface of the ball. Furthermore, (b) since the mirror body is individually protruded above the head, it gets in the way during storage or storage, and is easily damaged during storage or storage. In order to solve this problem, if the mirror body was made detachable from the head, it would be troublesome to attach and detach it.
Also, the detached mirror body may be lost.

This invention was created in view of the above points,
The gist of this is that in a golf putter in which a mirror body is disposed diagonally from the top of the putter head body attached to the lower part of the shaft toward the lower part of the hitting surface side, the mirror body 4 is placed in front of the hitting surface. It extends upward from the upper part of the putter head to the shaft 2 so as to reflect the same, and from approximately the center of the entire length, the upper side 4b is curved backward to form a convex surface in the left and right direction, and the mirror body of the extended part is made transparent. The head 3 is supported by a mirror body support made of a member, and a transparent member is disposed at least on the front surface of the mirror body of the head 3.
A golf putter with a hanging member such as a string attached to the upper end, the purpose of which is to be able to visually check the position of the cup and the distance between the golf ball and the cup without raising the head; In addition, the golf ball is less likely to get in the way when viewing the golf ball, and the cup and ball can be seen reflected in the mirror at the same time, making it easier to hit the center of the ball with the hitting surface of the putter head. The mirror body part is less likely to get in the way during storage or storage, and this part can be firmly supported, and it is also possible to easily draw a reference line for correctly measuring the inclination between the golf ball and the cup. We are here to provide you with the best golf putter possible.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings FIGS. 1 to 5.

In the diagram, 1 is the golf putter body, 2 is the shaft, and 3
is a putter head, and a mirror body is disposed in the putter head 3 obliquely from the upper part to the lower part on the hitting surface 3a side. As described above, the present invention is such that the mirror body 4 is disposed not only inside the putter head 3 but also above it in order to enable a golf putter equipped with a mirror body to better see the front. In this embodiment, the entire putter head 3 is made of a transparent material. In order to view the condition on the green from a wide angle, the mirror body 4 is formed as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower side 4a is formed into a planar shape, and the upper side 4b is formed into a convex shape R in the left-right direction while being curved backward from the substantially central portion. A mirror support 5 made of a transparent member is obliquely disposed between the upper part of the putter head 3 and the shaft 2. Next, the lower side 4a of the mirror body 4 is placed close to the lower end inside the putter head 3. The mirror 4 above the upper surface of the putter head 3 is supported by the mirror support 5. Next, reference numeral 6 denotes a mark line marked at the center of the mirror body 4 in the longitudinal direction from the top to the bottom. Furthermore, a string 7 for vertically suspending the main body 1 is attached to the top of the shaft 2. Above string 7
is formed into a ring shape so that a finger or the like can be inserted through it and hung easily. In the figure, 8 is a golf ball, and 9 is a cup.

Next, a usage example will be explained based on the above configuration.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, hang the main body 1 by holding the string 7 with one hand. At this time, unlike the conventional case, the shaft 2 is not gripped, so the main body 1 can be correctly hung vertically. Since the reference vertical line can be drawn correctly in this way, the inclination of the green relative to this vertical line can be accurately read. Therefore, the correct fitting line can be easily known. After reading the correct putting line as described above (for example, the line aimed at the right end of the cup 9), grip the top of the shaft 2 and press the address button as you would when using a regular putter. do. Since the position of the cup 9 can be seen through the mirror body 4 when addressed, there is no fear of head up. In the case of the golf putter of the present invention, the mirror body 4 is also provided on the top of the putter head 3, so that when the golf ball 8 is placed, the golf ball 8 can be placed on the putter without the golf ball 8 getting in the way, as shown in FIG. Since you can easily see the cup 9, you can carefully check the putting line until the moment you hit the ball. This is because the upper side 4b of the mirror body 4 is formed in a convex shape, so unlike a plane mirror that simply reflects light, a wide-angle field of view can be obtained. Therefore, it is possible to know how the area between the golf ball 8 and the cup 9 is inclined compared to other areas, and it is also easier to see the distance between the ball and the cup. Furthermore, in the case of this embodiment, since a mark line 6 along the vertical direction is marked at the center of the mirror body 4, addressing is performed by matching the mark line 6 with the patching line, and the matching mark line 6 and patching line are aligned. By taking the ball back without shifting the hitting line and then launching the ball, the hitting surface 3a of the putter head 3 can hit the golf ball 8 correctly.

When hitting the hitting surface 3a with the golf ball 8,
In the case of the golf putter in this case, the mirror body is disposed not only above the head but also inside the head, and the front surface of the mirror body is formed transparent, so that there is no light on the mirror body 4. Since the cup can be reflected and the ball can be reflected at the same time, the hitting surface 3
It becomes easier to hit the ball correctly with a.

Furthermore, since the mirror body extending above the head is disposed over the shaft 2, this portion can be firmly supported. Therefore, accidents such as damage to this part are less likely, and since it is formed along the shaft 2,
Compared to a mirror with a separate protruding mirror, it is less likely to get in the way during storage or storage.

In this embodiment, since a mark line 6 extending in the vertical direction is marked in the center of the mirror body 4, the putting operation can be easily performed along the putting line. However, even without the mark line 6, the objects and effects of the present invention can be achieved in the same way.

In addition, in this embodiment, an example was shown in which all of the putter head 3 was formed using transparent members, but in this case, the entire putter head 3 was formed of metal members, and only the front surface of the mirror body 4 was provided with a transparent member. You can also do this.

As detailed above, the present invention provides a golf putter in which a mirror is disposed diagonally from the upper part of the putter head body attached to the lower part of the shaft toward the lower part of the hitting surface side. A mirror that extends upward from the top of the putter head 3 to the shaft 2 so as to reflect the surface 3a, and is formed into a convex R shape in the left-right direction while curving the upper side 4b backward from approximately the center of the entire length. The body 4 is supported by a mirror body support 5 made of a transparent member, a transparent member is provided at least in front of the mirror body of the head 3, and a hanging member such as a string 7 is attached to the upper end of the shaft 2. Since this is a golf putter, the mirror body 4 is provided inside the putter head 3 and above the putter head, so that the user can visually check the position of the cup and the distance from the golf ball to the cup while lowering his head and looking at the golf ball 8. In addition, during the above-mentioned visual confirmation, the golf ball can be reflected on the mirror placed inside the putter head, and the cup can be seen reflected on the mirror placed on the top of the putter head.
The golf ball is less likely to get in the way when looking at the cup, and the mirror body is formed into a convex R shape in the left-right direction, with the upper side 4b curved backward from approximately the center of the overall length. You can clearly see the condition of the circumferential surface between the putter head and the cup, and you can also hit the golf ball while reflecting it through the hitting surface 3a on the mirror body disposed inside the putter head. It is easy to hit the center of the golf ball accurately,
In particular, the mirror body extending above the putter head is extended along the shaft 2, so this part is less likely to get in the way during storage or storage, and this part can be secured with the shaft. The suspension member 7 is attached to the upper end of the shaft, making it easy to draw a reference line to accurately measure the inclination between the golf ball and the cup. It has various advantages, such as providing a golf putter that can be used in a variety of situations.
