BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf putter having a laser light emitter used for practicing golf putts.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, on a golf course green, a putter is used to hit a ball to make a cup-in. The practice of this putter is usually practiced on indoor mats and jutans, but the correct way to hit the putt is to fix the lower body and head, swing the putter head horizontally toward the cup, and hit the golf ball. It is good to make the head surface hit vertically at the moment of hit. However, the golfer cannot understand his own drawbacks well, and because he is practicing only hitting a golf ball while adjusting the habit of slicing or hooking the golf ball by rotating his wrist, it is difficult to improve quickly. It was

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention eliminates the above drawbacks, and a golfer checks the direction in which the putter head is moving by himself and practices the golf ball to hit the golf ball at the correct angle and direction. The present invention provides a golf putter that can improve

[0004]

The golf putter of the present invention is mounted on the front side of the putter head at a position higher than the golf ball with the laser light emitter inclined slightly downward, and inside the putter head. It is characterized by containing a control panel connected to the laser emitter and a battery.

[0005]

When the putter is practiced with the golf putter of the present invention, when the switch is turned on, the power source of the battery is supplied to the laser light emitter through the control panel to emit the laser light. In this state, grasp the grip of the shaft and shake it back and forth horizontally aiming at the direction of hitting. Since the laser emitter is attached to the upper part of the putter head with the tip side slightly inclined downward, the emitted laser light goes straight and is projected linearly on the mat in front of the head surface. Therefore, by swinging the golf putter back and forth, the line projected by the laser light moves back and forth. By practicing how to swing the golf putter so as to move on a straight line toward the target cup while watching the movement state of this line, it is possible to correct one's own habit and make a correct swing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a putter head made of metal, and a shaft attachment portion 2 is integrally formed on the upper portion of the putter head, and a lower end of a shaft 3 made of a metal pipe is inserted and attached obliquely thereto. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the head surface 5 on the front surface of the putter head 1 on which the golf ball 4 abuts is inclined obliquely upward, and
A laser light emitter 6 is attached to the side of the shaft attachment portion 2 at a position higher than the golf ball 4 with a slight inclination downward at an angle α. This inclination angle α is set to, for example, about 3 to 15 degrees.

Inside the putter head 1, there is a hollow portion 1
A is formed, and a control board 7 formed of an IC substrate and a battery 8 connected to the laser light emitter 6 are housed therein. The putter head 1 weighs 350 g, and the total weight of the putter head 1 including the shaft 3 is about 500 g. The putter head 1 has the same weight structure as a normal golf putter.

In the golf putter having the above structure, when practicing a putt on the mat 9 laid indoors, first, by turning on a switch (not shown) attached to the putter head 1,
The power of the battery 8 is supplied to the laser emitting device 6 via the control panel 7, and the red laser light 10 is emitted. In this state, the golf ball 4 is placed on the mat 9, the grip of the shaft 3 is gripped, the lower body and the head are fixed, and the golf putter is attached.
Shake horizontally back and forth aiming for the direction of the line.

Since the laser light emitter 6 is attached at a slight inclination downward, the red laser light 10 emitted is, as shown in FIG. 3, a mat 9 resembling a green 30 to 60 cm ahead of the head surface 5. It is projected in red on the top of the line in a line about 5 cm long. Therefore, by swinging the golf putter back and forth, the red line 11 due to the laser light 10 moves back and forth. By looking at the movement of this red line 11, the golfer can confirm whether he hits it on the slice side or the hook side, and the red line 11 by the laser beam 10 goes straight on toward the target cup. Practice how to swing a golf putter so that you can move, and correct your own habits.

Since the laser light 10 is used in this way, the light is spread straight and is irradiated without being diffused, and a clear red line 11 can be projected up to a distance. When the red line moves on a straight line in this way, the golf ball 4 can be hit straight toward the target by hitting the head surface 5 against the golf ball 4 with the red line 11 as the target.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which a flat plate-shaped shaft mounting portion 2 is integrally formed on the upper part of the putter head 1, and the lower end of the shaft 3 is inserted therein. It is installed diagonally. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the head surface 5 on the front surface of the putter head 1 on which the golf ball 4 abuts is formed vertically, and the laser light emitter 6 is provided at the center of the shaft mounting portion 2 at a position higher than the golf ball 4. , It is mounted with a slight inclination downward.
Further, a hollow portion 1A is formed inside the putter head 1 and the flat plate-shaped shaft mounting portion 2, and a control panel 7 and a battery 8 connected to the laser light emitter 6 are housed therein.

Further, a switch 12 is attached to the side of the laser light emitter 6 as shown in FIG. 4, and is connected to the control panel 7. This switch 12 is a push type switch,
When the switch 12 is turned on, the laser light emitter 6 irradiates the laser light for about 20 seconds, and then the power is automatically turned off to reduce battery consumption and prevent forgetting to turn off the battery.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention. A laser emitter 6 is mounted on the upper part of a putter head 1 having a curved bottom surface, and a shaft mounting portion 2 is formed on the side thereof. The lower end of the shaft 3 is inserted and attached obliquely here. Further, a hollow portion 1A is formed inside the putter head 1, and a control panel 7 and a battery 8 connected to the laser light emitting device 6 are housed therein.

FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a laser emitter 6 is attached to the upper side of a putter head having a semi-circular shape on the front surface and a curved bottom surface. The shaft mounting portion 2 is formed,
The lower end of the shaft 3 is inserted and attached obliquely here.

In the above embodiment, the practice of putting is practiced indoors. However, since it is bright on the green outdoors, the laser light 10 cannot be seen even when the laser light emitter 6 is radiated, so the actual play is performed. But it can be used. The shape of the putter head 1 and the shaft mounting portion 2 is not limited to the structure of the above-described embodiment, and may have other shapes. Further, the laser light 10 is not limited to red, and the laser light emitter 6 that emits other colors such as white and yellow may be used.

[0016]

As described above, according to the golf putter according to the present invention, since the laser light emitter is mounted on the upper side of the putter head while being slightly inclined downward, the laser light travels straight and the head surface. It is projected linearly on the mat in front of, and by swinging the golf putter back and forth aiming at the light projected in this linear form, the golfer confirms the direction in which the putter head moves by himself, You can improve your putting skills by practicing the golf ball at the correct angle and direction.
