Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf putter for use in golf patting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Golf putting is a play in which a putter head is set on the back side of a ball placed on the green and the putter head is used to hit the ball toward the hole. The important point is that the putter head should be placed at a right angle to the target line that hits the ball, and the putter head should be positioned so that the sweet spot (center of gravity) of the putter head corresponds to the center position of the ball. Set, in this state, without putting your eyes away from the position of the putter head, that is, without moving the head part from the shoulder part, first perform the backswing in which the putter head is pulled backward of the ball along the target line, After that, smoothly pull the putter head back along the target line to launch the ball toward the hole. A. By accurately and smoothly performing such a series of operations, accurate putting is achieved and the ball can be hit along the target line. Daily practice is important for improving golf, and putting has the advantage that you can easily practice it in your living room.

By the way, in the conventional general putter,
The putter head is provided with an instruction mark composed of dots, lines, etc., and the direction in which the putter head should swing and the position of the sweet spot can be determined based on this instruction mark.

In such a conventional putter, a putter head is set on the back side of the ball with reference to the instruction mark, and the instruction mark is visually observed to cause a putting operation to hit the ball.

[0005]

However, when the putter head is provided with the instruction mark in this way, when the operator visually swings the instruction mark, he or she unconsciously looks along with the movement of the putter head. Moving in that direction, this movement of the eyes also moves the golfer's head to shoulders.

[0006] In putting, as described above, it is important that the eyes and the shoulder do not move consistently from the beginning to the end of the movement of the swing of the putter head, and therefore, the eyes and the shoulder do not move. In a conventional putter that is easy to move, it is easy to make a miss shot, and even if pattering practice is repeated with such a putter, accurate putting movement cannot be acquired, and improvement in play cannot be expected so much.

The present invention has been made paying attention to such a point, and an object thereof is to prevent unintentional movements of a golfer's eyes and shoulders to perform accurate putting, and especially in practice. An object of the present invention is to provide a golf putter that can be expected to quickly and accurately learn to quickly improve the putting technique.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve such an object, the present invention forms an extension portion, which extends substantially horizontally outward on the back surface of a face of a putter head, and extends this extension. A long viewing window is formed in a portion corresponding to the sweet spot of the putter head along a direction perpendicular to the face.

[0009]

Function When practicing putting, first set the putter head on the back side of the ball, assume a target line to hit the ball, align the sighting window along this target line, and place the sighting window below the sighting window. For example, a mark is placed on the carpet, and in this state, the mark is swung while the mark is visually observed, and the putter head is moved so that the sight window passes over the mark to hit the ball.

At this time, the mark is not attached to the putter head, but is placed below the putter head. Therefore, there is no adverse effect that the eyes move along with the movement of the putter head. The player's head and shoulders do not move, accurate patterning is achieved, and the ball can be hit accurately along the target line.

[0011] By repeating such a practicing practice, the ideal form for swinging the putter head while keeping the shoulder fixed without moving the line of sight can be quickly acquired, and the putting technique can be surely and swiftly improved. You can expect it.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a golf putter according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a shaft, and 2 is a putter head attached to one end of the shaft 1.

The putter head 2 is integrally formed with a semicircular extending portion 4 that extends substantially horizontally outward from the back surface of the face 3 for hitting the ball a. A relatively long peep window 5 reaching the back surface portion of the face 3 from the outer peripheral edge thereof is cut out in the extending portion 4.

The viewing window 5 is provided at a position corresponding to the sweet spot of the putter head 2 and is formed in a long groove shape along a direction perpendicular to the face 3 of the putter head 2. When practicing putting with the putter thus configured, the following procedure is performed.

When practicing in the living room of each home, the ball a is first placed on, for example, a carpet in the living room. Then, assuming the target line b for hitting the ball a, the putter head 2 is set on the back side of the ball a while taking a predetermined stance.

At this time, since the sweet spot of the putter head 2 is located at a position corresponding to the peep window 5, the sweet spot of the putter head 2 is aligned with the center position of the ball a based on the peep window 5 and the peep window 5 is set so as to match along the target line b. Further, a mark c such as a lint is placed on the carpet which can be seen through the viewing window 5 at an intermediate portion of the viewing window 5.

In this state, by visually observing the mark c, the putter head 2 is pulled backward along the longitudinal direction of the peep window 5 while performing the back swing while visually observing the mark c, and subsequently, the putter head 2 is moved. And push the putter head 2 forward to hit the ball a with the face 3 so that the peep window 5 passes the position of the mark c.

During backswing in which the putter head 2 is pulled backward, the putter head 2 is moved so that the viewing window 5 sequentially passes over the mark c. Since the peep window 5 is arranged along the target line b, the putter head 2 is moved along the target line b by moving the putter head 2 so that the peep window 5 sequentially passes over the mark c. Accurately pulled backwards.

If the putter head 2 is moved in a direction different from the target line b, the mark c will be hidden by the extension 4 while the sight window 5 is passing over the mark c.
Therefore, it can be seen that the direction of movement of the putter head 2 is incorrect. The relationship between the mark c and the viewing window 5 is the same when the putter head 2 is pulled back forward, whereby the pulling and pulling operations of the putter head 2 become accurate, and the launch direction of the ball a is Be accurate.

On the other hand, a series of this putting operation is carried out while visually checking the mark c. However, the mark c is not attached to the putter head 2 but is attached to the carpet and is always fixed. Therefore, there is no adverse effect that the line of sight moves with the movement of the putter head 2, and therefore the head and shoulders of the golfer do not move, and in addition to the above-mentioned relationship between the mark c and the viewing window 5, Accurate putting is achieved, and the ball a can be accurately hit along the target line b.

Of course, the putter of the present invention can be used not only for practice but also for actual play on the green. And in this case, as the mark c,
Assuming a specific point such as scratches and color change on the grass on the green, or dead grass attached to the grass, and performing patterning in the same operation as above using such marks, the target line b You can hit the ball in the correct direction along.

In the above embodiment, the observation window 5 is formed by the notch cut out from the outer peripheral edge of the extending portion 4.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a long hole that is long in one direction may be cut out in the extending portion 4 and this long hole may be used as the viewing window 5. The extending portion 4 may also be formed in a semicircular shape. The shape is not limited to the shape, and may be a shape extending from the back surface of the face 3 outwardly in a band shape as shown in FIG.

Further, the viewing window 5 is not limited to the case of being formed by notching or hollowing, but the extending portion 4 is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin, and a part of the extending portion 4 is a transparent line which is long in one direction. It is also possible to form the viewing window with this transparent portion.

[0024]

As described above, according to the putter of the present invention, there is no adverse effect such that the line of sight moves with the movement of the putter head during backswing of the putter head, and therefore the line of sight is fixed at one point. With the ideal form that the head and shoulders are fixed, it is possible to perform accurate putting and to accurately hit the ball along the target line. By repeating the practice of Patting using the putter of the present invention, the ideal form for swinging the putter head while keeping the head and shoulders fixed without moving the line of sight can be quickly put on the body, and the putting technique can be used with certainty. It is possible to expect rapid improvement.
