JPH09271554A - Rhythm machine for golf swing - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a practicing appliance enabling a golf swing and a putting stroke to be always kept at a constant speed. SOLUTION: LEDs 2 are arranged in one lateral row on a body 1 and sequentially turned on in a forward direction and then in a reverse direction like a relay at a speed arbitrarily set with an electronic circuit, thereby guiding and stabilizing the rhythm and speed of a golf swing and a putting stroke.

Detailed Description of the Invention

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is a practice tool for constantly maintaining the tempo of swing and putting stroke in golf.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art According to one theory, it is said that there are more than 2000 causes of mistakes in golf swings, but among them, "rhythm and tempo variation between swings" which seems to belong to a very important category. There was no practice tool to correct "visually". Moreover, this machine does not forcibly correct individual swings unlike the conventional practice equipment, and it works to improve only the sense of rhythm without respecting individual swings.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In a golf swing, the rhythm and tempo of the swing are quite important, but most amateur golfers with a small amount of practice have a stable rhythm and tempo, which is their standard. Do not do it, or the tempo will be different with the driver and the short iron. Also, most people have a faster tempo when they make a missed shot. This can be said for professionals and advanced players alike, and is unstable when pressure is applied or when something is wrong. When putting in a particularly important situation, the hand may be too tense to move.
In order to allow instrument players to keep accurate rhythms using a metronome, I think that these problems can be solved if the rhythm machine for golfers is used to improve the sense of rhythm on a regular basis. It was

[0004]

The means for solving the problem will now be described with reference to the drawings. (A) LEDs (2) are arranged in a horizontal row on the main body (1). (B) The electronic circuit causes the "lighting relay" to reciprocate from the starting point to the right and from the turning point to the left. (The opposite is true for left-handed strokes.) (C) The golfer swings according to the rhythm of the reciprocating motion of the light. It is advisable to match the timing of the entire body during shots, and to synchronize the movement of light with the club head during putting. The following items can be set with the control dial (4). Lighting Count and tempo before relay start. Displayed on the digital signboard (3) (Example) If "Count 2" is set, the count will be "I, Ni" before the start, so it is easy to set the start timing. Tempo and distance to relay to the right. (Backswing) Stop time at the turning point. (Take the timing of switching back) Tempo and distance to relay move to the left. (Down swing) Flashing function (Example) The LED at the start point flashes in synchronization with the preset count. Alarm function (example) The alarm sounds in synchronization with the preset count. Forward press function (example) If set, the relay will momentarily reverse in the start direction. Therefore, it becomes easier to take timing. Memory function You can store several types of settings for. Therefore, you can instantly recall the required rhythm tempo from full shot to approach and putting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Electronic circuits can be easily designed by anyone with a little expertise. The body can be made of any material, but reinforced plastic is preferable for durability and weight reduction. The shape of the LED may be square or rectangular. In addition, the lighting relay part is LED
The same effect can be obtained by changing the arrangement to a liquid crystal panel. The power source is dry batteries and household AC (using the adapter)
Make it usable in two ways.

[Effects of the Invention] Although a prototype has already been made and used, the effects will be described as follows. (A) Even if the club is not actually shaken, just looking at the image of the swing naturally improves the rhythmic feeling. (B) 2m for some beginners who hold the club for the first time
I was asked to hit 50 balls each, but 20 to 25 balls each came in. Moreover, the deviation was due to the problem of directionality, and the intended sense of distance for this machine was almost correct. (C) Even on the course, by imagining this unit, it swings in good rhythm, and you can't get numb even with important putting. In addition, you can easily regain the rhythm tempo when you are doing well, even when things are out of order. (D) It is very useful to practice at home if you memorize the putting touches of frequently visited courses. Even if you look at the above objectively, there are great effects, and there is a great possibility that it will become a standard practice tool for all golfers, from beginners to advanced players and professional golfers.
