JPH04210075A - Ball seat for teeing up - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable always accurate stable tee-shot under the most preferable condition irrespective of the height and address of a golfer by forming a soft peripheral wall of a soft synthetic resin material to provide deformably a hollow eccentric truncated-corn seat so that the golfer can confirm the condition of a supported golf ball by viewing an image area. CONSTITUTION:In tee-shot, a golf ball G is supported on a ball support surface (a) formed on the upper end of a peripheral wall 1. While a club strikes the golf ball G in the direction of arrow in the tee-shot, a ball seat A for tee-up resists the strike in the cases of arrows (p), (q) so that a portion of kinetic energy of the golf ball G is conventionally lost. However, according to this invention, since the ball seat A is deformed according to this invention, the golf ball G is prevented from the deformation by the kinetic energy to increase the carry compared with that on the conventional tee-peg.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a member for holding a golf ball at a predetermined height above a ground when hitting a golf ball during golf play, that is, a member for teeing up the golf ball. [0002] [0002] [0002] The applicant of the present application has disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-67969 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2-43665 "Ball seat for teeing up in golf play" that a ball support surface on the upper surface and a ground surface on the lower surface. It is disclosed that the ball has an eccentric truncated cone shape in which the ball and ball support surfaces are eccentric, and the center point of the ball support surface is offset from the center point of the ground plane to form an image area. [0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to effectively apply kinetic energy to a golf ball during a tee shot to extend the flight distance and to carry it to an accurate location in the prior invention described above. shall be. [0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, a tee-up ball seat is formed with a soft peripheral wall made of a soft synthetic resin material, has a hollow eccentric truncated cone shape, and is deformable when hitting a shot. [0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained below based on embodiments shown in the drawings. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the area of the upper ball support surface a is reduced compared to the lower support surface to form a truncated cone shape, and the center point Q of the contact surface is relative to the center point P of the ball support surface a. It is the same as the prior invention in that it is a ball seat for teeing up having an external shape in which the ball is eccentric by an appropriate length L and has an eccentric trapezoidal shape. ) The tee-up ball seat is composed only of the soft peripheral wall 1, which is a molded product. 2 is a cut groove formed on the surface of the peripheral wall l, which displays an image line and facilitates deformation of the soft peripheral wall. [0006] When hitting the golf ball, the ball support surface a formed at the upper end of the peripheral wall 1 supports the golf ball G (see FIG. 6). When hitting a tee shot, the club hits the golf ball G in the direction of the arrow, but in the case of the arrow A, the ball seat A for teeing up acts as a resistance, and conventionally, part of the kinetic energy of the golf ball G is lost. However, by deforming as shown in FIG. 7 according to the present invention, deformation of the kinetic energy of the golf ball G is prevented, and the flight distance is increased compared to the conventional tipeg. [0007] The height, thickness, angle of inclination, etc. of the soft peripheral wall 1 can be variously selected according to desire, and examples thereof are shown in FIGS. 44 and 5. 4 shows the iron version, and FIG. 5 shows the wood version. [0008] When a player looks at a golf ball from above at address, an image area resembling a crescent moon is visible, but as mentioned above, the tee-up height, angle of inclination, etc. Therefore, depending on the selection, the shape of the crescent-like image area can have various changes. Therefore, the image area will change depending on the preference of the pulley, whether the person is tall or short, the distance of the address, etc. Furthermore, the image line displayed by the kerf 2 makes the direction of inclination of the ball seat clear. Although FIG. 8 illustrates three types of image directions, a, b, and c, any direction can be used depending on each person's preference. [0009] When playing, psychological effects (i.e., the sense of security that comes from checking the height of the ball and the slope of the tee) have a large effect on the performance, so players can choose the shape of the image area that they prefer. By checking the direction of the image line, you can maintain the swing axis in the desired state and make accurate shots. [00101] [Effects of the Invention] By using the tee-up ball seat of the present invention, it is possible to check the support state of the golf ball by visually checking the image area, and it is possible to check the support state of the golf ball by visually checking the image area. It is the same as the prior invention that allows you to always perform an accurate and stable tee shot in the best condition of your choice regardless of the distance, etc. Furthermore, by forming a soft peripheral wall, the ball seat for tee shots can be easily made, especially when hitting an iron tee shot. Since there is no resistance, it is possible to eliminate deviations in the direction of the shot and extend the flight distance of the pole by effectively utilizing all the kinetic energy. In addition, when the tee shot ball seat is constructed with only a soft peripheral wall as in the first embodiment, the cost is low and it is economical as a consumable item, and there is an effect that the cutter of the lawn mower is not damaged.
