Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improvement in the grip of a golf club.

[Prior art and problems]

Various grooves are designed on the surface of the grip of a conventional golf club.

For example, grips with spiral grooves on the surface,
It is widely known that the grip surface is divided into a large number of regions in the circumferential direction, each region is provided with inclined grooves, and the extending direction of the grooves is alternately varied from region to region.

Some of these grooves on the surface of the grip function to prevent the grip from slipping when the player swings.
The reality is that most of the other grooves do not extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of the fingers or palm of the hand holding the grip, so they do not have a sufficient anti-slip effect.

For this reason, there is a need for a grip that can sufficiently prevent the hand from slipping during the swing of a golf club.

[Means and effects for solving the problems] As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides a grip for a golf club having a plurality of grooves on the grip surface.
The extending direction of the concave groove in the first region where a finger other than the thumb of the player's hand holding the proximal end side of the grip at address and a finger of the player's hand holding the distal end side of the grip at address contact the grip surface. is a direction forming an acute angle from the upper center line of the grip surface at address toward the proximal end of the grip, and the second point where the palm of the player's hand, which grips the proximal end of the grip, contacts the grip surface at address.
To provide a grip for a golf club, characterized in that the grooves in the region extend in a direction substantially parallel to the upper center line of the grip surface.

According to the above means, the first area where fingers other than the thumb of the player's hand that grips the proximal end side of the grip during address and fingers of the player's hand that grips the distal end side of the grip during address contact the grip surface. Since the extending direction of the groove is perpendicular to the direction in which the fingers of the hand slide, a sufficient effect of preventing the fingers from slipping can be obtained.

In addition, in the second region where the palm of the player's hand that grips the proximal end of the grip comes into contact with the grip surface during address, the extending direction of the groove is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the palm, so that the circumferential direction of the grip Rotation can be prevented.

In the above means, the extending direction of the concave groove in the third area where the thumb of the player's hand holding the proximal end side of the grip comes into contact with the grip surface at the time of address is set to be substantially perpendicular to the upper center line of the grip surface. It is preferable to do so.

With this configuration, in the third region where the thumb of the player's hand that grips the proximal end of the grip comes into contact with the grip surface during address, the direction in which the groove extends is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the thumb. Therefore, the effect of preventing the grip from slipping in the axial direction is further enhanced.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show the gripping of a typical right-handed player at the time of addressing a golf club.

Here, the left hand is gripping the proximal end of grip 1,
The right hand, which is the listening hand, is holding the tip of the grip.

The direction in which force is applied to each finger of both hands is indicated by an arrow.

Based on the direction in which the force of each finger is applied, grooves are formed as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

That is, Fig. 4 is a view of the grip at address from above, and the upper center line of the grip surface at address is X-X.
On the right side of the figure from the vicinity to the vicinity of the lower center line on the opposite side, the index finger L2 of the left hand that grips the base end side of the grip 1 is shown.
, the middle finger L3, the ring finger L4, and the little finger L5 from the second joint to the fingertip are in contact with each other, and the index finger R2, the middle finger R3, the ring finger R4, and the little finger R5 of the right hand that grips the tip side of the grip 1 are at the base. The parts from to the second joint are in contact with each other.

In addition, on the left side in the figure from the vicinity of the upper center line XX of the grip surface at the time of address to the vicinity of the lower center line on the opposite side, the right thumb R1, index finger R2, and The parts of the middle finger R3 and the ring finger R4 from the second joint to the fingertip are in contact with each other, and the index finger L2 of the left hand,
The bases of the middle finger L3, ring finger L4, and little finger L5 are in contact with each other from the root to the second joint.

A large number of grooves 2 in the above-mentioned first area where the fingers come into contact extend obliquely from the upper center line XX toward the base end of the grip 1 in a direction forming an acute angle.

That is, on the right side of the upper center line XX, the extending direction of the groove 2 in the first region forms an angle α (generally approximately 30°) with respect to the upper center line On the left side of X, the extending direction of the groove 2 in the first region forms an angle β (generally approximately 30°) with respect to the upper center line XX.

Since the extending direction of the grooves 2 in these first regions is substantially perpendicular to the above-mentioned finger sliding direction, the above-mentioned finger slipping can be effectively prevented.

Note that in the first region of the grip surface, the upper center line
A groove 3 is provided on the right side of X in FIG. 4 and extends in an acute angle direction from the upper center line toward the tip end of the grip 1.

This groove 3 indicates the range in which the fingers are held during gripping, and serves as a guideline for the optimum gripping range.

There is a second region on the grip surface on the proximal end side of the grip 1, which is in contact with the palm of the left hand that grips the proximal end side of the grip 1.

A large number of grooves 1 in this second region are located at the upper center line X-X
extends parallel to.

The groove 4 serves to prevent the left palm from slipping in the circumferential direction of the grip 1, thereby preventing the golf club head from rotating.

On the distal end side of the grip 1 from the concave groove 4 in the second region, the left thumb L
There is a third area where 1 is in contact.

The groove 5 in the third region extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the upper center line XX in order to prevent the thumb L1 from slipping in the axial direction of the grip 1.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as can be seen from FIG.
In the vicinity of the lower center line on the grip surface at address, that is, in the vicinity of both ends 1a and lb in the grip unfolded state, a large number of concave grooves 6 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lower center line extend over almost the entire length of the grip 1. It is provided.

This groove 6 is for preventing the grip 1 from coming off.

According to the grip configured as described above, the grooves 2, 4 to 6 on the grip surface extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of the fingers and palm of the hand that grips the grip 1, so that This effectively prevents the palm from slipping.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the aspects of the above embodiments.

For example, a design may be freely added to the portion of the grip surface that is not touched during normal grip rubbing.

Further, in a grip for a left-handed player, the grooves may be formed completely symmetrically with the grooves 2 to 6 described above.

Furthermore, if the grooves 2.4 in the first and second regions of the grip surface are provided, the intended purpose of the present invention is distantly achieved, so the other grooves 3, 5, 6, etc. may be omitted or omitted. It may be replaced with a free design.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, the fingers other than the thumb of the player's hand holding the proximal end of the grip at address and the player's hand holding the distal end of the grip at address In the first region where the fingers of the hand contact the grip surface, the extending direction of the grooves is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the fingers, so that a sufficient effect of preventing the fingers from slipping can be obtained.

In addition, in the second region where the palm of the player's hand that grips the proximal end of the grip comes into contact with the grip surface during address, the extending direction of the groove is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the palm, so that the circumferential direction of the grip Rotation can be prevented.

Therefore, the grip of the golf club becomes strong and a smooth swing can be achieved.
