Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf practice mat provided with a display section capable of determining a stance suitable for a player in golf training.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various instructional books and practice videotapes for improving golf have been provided, and at least the following three points are common in their contents.

(1) Correct grip (2) Address suitable for physical constitution and constitution (3) Proper stance

Incidentally, the above item (3) is generally said to be as follows.

That is, for example, in the case of a right-handed player, the stance width (the distance between the heels of the left and right feet) is approximately shoulder width, and the right foot relative to the flight line (the line connecting the ball and the target). Right-angled (rear foot), left foot (front foot)
As for about, if you keep your toes open about 30 degrees to the flight line, the swing is smooth and you can make an impact while leaving your weight on your hind legs, and the follow-through is large enough so that the head speed becomes high, It is said that an accurate shot of can be expected.

Also, a stance in which a virtual line connecting the toes of both feet is parallel to the flight line is called a square stance, which is adopted by many people, but the rotation of the body is insufficient and the backswing is performed. It is said that a closed stance with the hind legs retracted relative to the flight line is desirable for players who are difficult to obtain, while an open stance with the fore legs retracted is preferred for large follow-through. .

By the way, various improvements have been proposed for mats that are indispensable for golf practice. For example, golf balls such as those disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-57565 (known example) have been proposed. It is only a modification of the ball mat to be placed.

[0008]

As described above, the current prior art does not provide a golf practice tool provided with display means for instructing the player's stance. Based on the experience and intuition of "The stance width is shoulder width,
Basically, make the rear leg perpendicular to the flight line and open the front leg about 30 degrees on the toe. ”It is only a fine adjustment to the player's own preference, it is unscientific and it does not necessarily lead to improvement in golf. It was difficult.

The factor is that the stance is determined by experience, intuition or preference as described above, and training based on a correct stance that suits each player's physique, constitution, physical strength, etc. is not carried out. Because.

Therefore, golf players have been requested to determine a correct stance based on scientific grounds and to provide a training tool capable of performing a correct practice in this stance.

A first object of the present invention is to practice golf in which the stance adapted to the player's physique, constitution, etc., which can meet the above-mentioned demand, is known and the skill can be improved through practice with a correct stance. Is to provide a mat.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a golf practice mat which has a structure and a simple method of use in which a preferable stance can be obtained only by aligning the positions of the front and rear feet with the display portion.

[0013]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The scientific grounds on which the means for achieving the above-mentioned object are devised are as follows.

That is, it is a matter of public knowledge that almost all human beings, when standing up in a natural state, have their left and right feet deflected inward or outward with respect to the frontal direction of the body. , Everyone has experienced that this posture is the most comfortable posture, and it is relatively easy to carry out even if an attempt is made to bend or bend the upper body forward or backward or to the left or right, and it is easy for anyone to experience. It is understandable.

By the way, in the present invention, the stance of the golf player is determined based on the posture in the natural state.

That is, first, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the opening angle (α) of the left foot when the golf player stands up in a natural state with the stance width of both feet being approximately shoulder width.
And the opening angle (β) of the right foot must be measured, and a commercially available angle measuring tool can be used as the measuring tool.

Next, the angle (α) and the angle (β) of the left and right feet measured as described above are added and divided into two equal parts,
The angle between the two legs is defined as the opening angle (δ) of the left foot, and the opening angle (β) of the right foot is set to zero to determine the opening angle of both feet during the golf stance.

As a result, with respect to the front direction of the golf player's body, the left foot is wide open, and the right foot is directed in the front direction, but the natural opening angle of both feet when standing up naturally in a natural state is emphasized. However, since the angle of opening the right foot is suppressed to add to the opening angle of the left foot so as to prevent the knee of the right foot from opening, the golf player can easily say that even if the halving is left a little cramped. It has been verified that a golf swing can be performed easily, the body can be sufficiently twisted, and the club can be swung out without reducing the head speed. The structural features of the present invention are as follows.

(1) A golf practice mat for a player which can be disposed adjacent to a ball mat formed of artificial turf or the like on which a golf ball is placed. A reference display part, a hind foot reference display part that is separated from the forefoot reference display part that displays the player's stance width, a toe reference display part and a heel reference display part that display each toe and heel position of the forefoot and the rear foot. Also, a golf practice mat provided with an opening angle display for displaying the opening angle of the forefoot.

(2) A plurality of rear foot adjustment display portions provided at regular intervals from the rear foot reference display portion are provided.
(1) Golf practice mat as described.

(3) The above-mentioned (1) or (2) provided with the toe reference display section, a plurality of toe adjustment display sections separated from the heel reference display section at regular intervals, and the heel adjustment display section. ) Described golf practice mat.

(4) At least one opening angle display section is provided around the intersection of the forefoot reference display section and the heel reference display section or the heel adjustment display section (1) to (3) The listed golf practice mat.

[0023]

[Working] Since the configuration of the present invention is as described above, the front foot is placed in the desired opening angle along the front foot reference display portion of the stance mat while the front and rear feet are measured in their natural opening angles. Only use the opening angle display or the opening angle adjustment display to open and determine the position of the forefoot, then use the hindfoot reference display or the hindfoot adjustment display with a stance width of about shoulder width. The position can be determined, and in the case of an open stance or a closed stance, the desired stance can be determined using the toe adjustment display section or the heel adjustment display section, respectively.

[0024]

[Examples] Next, examples shown in the drawings will be described.

(Structure) FIGS. 1 and 2 show a golf practice mat (M) for a right-handed player adjacent to a ball mat (BM). FIG. 1 is a plan view thereof and FIG. 2 is a view thereof. FIG. 1 is a ZZ sectional view of No. 1 and its structure is as follows.

That is, the golf practice mat (M) of this embodiment has elasticity such as rubber and synthetic resin material formed with a rough surface so that it is hard to slide, and is strong against damage. The stance mat 1 made of various materials is integrally formed by interposing an intermediate intermediary material 2 made of a plastic material or the like having a relatively hard and hardly deformable property, and being inserted into the carrying tray 3. .

Next, various display portions provided on the surface of the stance mat 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

That is, the front foot reference display section 11 for indicating the positions of the front and rear feet of the golf player and the rear foot reference display section 12 are parallel to each other with a space approximately the size of the shoulder width of the golf player. The front and rear foot reference display section 1
A toe reference display portion 13 and a heel reference display portion 14 are provided in parallel to each other at 1 and 12 in parallel with each other at intervals of about the size of the foot of the golf player.

Further, a front foot opening angle display portion 16 centering on an intersection 15 of the front foot reference display portion 11 and the heel reference display portion 14 is radially provided.

Further, with respect to the hind foot reference display section 12,
A plurality of rear foot adjustment display sections 12A separated at regular intervals
Are provided in parallel with the hind foot reference display portion 12, and are configured to have a stance width corresponding to a difference in shoulder width of the golf player.

Further, with respect to the toe reference display portion 13 and the heel reference display portion 14, a plurality of toe adjustment display portions 13A and 13B and heel adjustment display portions 14A and 14B, which are separated at regular intervals, are provided. A plurality of toe reference display portions 13 and the heel reference display portion 14 are provided so as to be parallel to each other.

Further, an angle adjustment display section 16A similar to the front foot opening angle display section 16 is provided in the front foot reference display section 1
1, and the angle adjustment display portions 16A are provided radially around the intersection 15A of the arbitrary heel adjustment display portion 14A, and a plurality of other angle adjustment display portions 16A can be provided.

The ball mat (BM) shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is not different from the well-known commercially available product, and the ball (B) indicating the flight line direction is placed at the approximate center position of the artificial turf 30. It is preferable that the placement line 40 is provided and carried in the support tray 50, and that the placement line 40 is used adjacent to the golf practice mat (M).

In the figure, numeral 17 indicates an auxiliary oblique line display portion, and (CH) indicates a club head.

(How to use) Next, how to use this embodiment will be described. Left and right feet when a golf player stands up in a natural state with a commercially available angle measuring tool with a stance width of about shoulder width. Opening angle (α) (β)
(See FIG. 3), the stance of the golf player when assuming that the opening angle (α) of the left foot in that case is 35 degrees and the opening angle (β) of the right foot is 30 degrees, It is decided as follows.

Determination of the position of the left foot. From the above assumption,
The opening angle of the left foot is determined to be 32.5 degrees, which is a half angle obtained by adding 30 degrees to 35 degrees.

Next, when this player desires a square stance, the left foot is placed along the forefoot reference display portion 11, and the toe is temporarily determined at the position of the toe reference display portion 13 and then the opening angle display 16 The position of the left foot is determined by checking the state in which the toe is opened by an angle of 32.5 degrees (see the left foot in FIG. 4).

Determination of Position of Right Foot Next, regarding the position of the right foot, the hind foot reference display section 12 or the hind foot adjustment display section 12A is selected so as to match the shoulder width of the golf player, and the toe thereof is set to the toe reference display section 13.
The position of the right foot is determined by following each of the steps (see the right foot in FIG. 4). However, if the player wants to open the toes of the right foot and take a stance, the auxiliary diagonal line display section 17 is selected. It is only necessary to determine the position of the right foot by using it.

When the golf player desires an open stance, the front foot reference display section 11 for the left foot is used.
Move your left foot backwards along the desired toe adjustment display 13A
Alternatively, by visually recognizing the heel adjustment display portion 14A, the position of the left foot in the front-rear direction is determined, and as described above, the opening angle adjustment display portion 16A can take an accurate opening angle.

On the other hand, when a close stance is desired, the retracted position of the right foot may be determined by the toe adjustment display section 13B or heel adjustment display section 14B.

The above description relates to the case of a right-handed golf player, but for a left-handed golf player, the same contents can be obtained by changing the left and right in the above description to right and left. The description is omitted.

[0042]

The remarkable effects of the present invention described above are as follows.

(1) Validate golf practice. Since the stance that suits the golf player's physique and constitution can be accurately acquired, golf practice can be facilitated and its progress can be promoted.

(2) Ease of handling. Since the golf player can stand up on the golf practice mat and visually recognize the display portion to take an accurate stance, the handling is very simple.

(3) Simplification of structure. Golf practice mat
A simple structure can be obtained because it is only necessary to provide various stance display parts on the stance mat.
