Description

Golf club grip

The present invention relates to a golf grip for a golf club, and more particularly, to a golf club grip that can provide a correct and consistent position, shape, and balance of force between the left and right hands by making a protrusion to be seated in the groove of the palm when gripping the golf grip. is about

Recently, golf has been widely spread as a popular sport, and accordingly, many people are enjoying golf.

A golf club consists of a pole, a club head mounted on the lower part of the pole to hit the ball, and a grip assembled on the upper part of the pole and gripped by the golfer. And it is known that in order to play golf well, it is necessary to hold the golf grip in the correct shape and to lighten the swing with the force removed.

In general, the most important factors in golf are distance and direction, and for this, the speed of the club head, accurate hitting, and the angle of the downswing are important factors. In particular, the speed of the club head must be fast at the moment of impact, but the distance can be increased. And for this, one of the important tasks is to accurately grip the golf grip with how much grip force.

Therefore, for beginners learning golf, it is very important to be able to grip the golf grip accurately with how much grip force. That is, the grip of the golf grip is not only one of the very important basic postures for beginners who want to enter golf, but also has a great influence on improving golf skills.

The golf grip is made of a material such as soft synthetic resin, rubber, or leather to prevent slipping during use, and a number of grooves are formed on the surface to prevent slipping and increase grip.

However, the golf grip is thin in the direction of the club head and has a thick conical shape in the direction of the handle. Not only is it inconvenient, but beginners have a strong grip, making it difficult to learn the basic motion of holding and swinging lightly.

In particular, the golf grip uses both hands, and is used by gripping the left hand so that it is located at the rear (in the case of a right-handed person). However, the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger of the left hand, which can be said to be in the most weakened state as they rarely use force on a regular basis, make it difficult to control the strength (grip force) of the gripping force, so they can be gripped accurately with sufficient grip force. There may be cases where it cannot be done. In this case, there is a problem that an unbalanced effect may appear when gripping the actual golf grip.

In order to solve this problem, there are cases where a protrusion or curve is given to the tip of the golf grip, which is the little finger of the left hand, to prevent slippage of the grip, or to give a curve in the shape of a hand.

However, all of the protrusions and curves provided in conventional golf grips protrude from the tip of the grip to the part where the finger or little finger catches, not the part where the most force is applied during gripping, so it is difficult to control the strength and weakness of the force generated in the hand during gripping. In addition, there is a problem in that an accurate swing cannot be achieved because a sufficient gripping force cannot be maintained with respect to the centrifugal force applied to the grip during the swing process.

An object of the present invention is to increase the probability of an accurate impact by naturally providing correct lower body movement during the down swing by allowing the center of gravity of the shaft to go low inside the body.

An object of the present invention is to increase the probability of an accurate impact to a hand-first state at impact by allowing the muscles to recognize and swing by allowing the correct hand shape at impact to be held at the time of impact.

An object of the present invention is to improve the aiming ability by ensuring that the gripping direction of the left arm (wrist)/right arm (wrist) is correctly gripped in the target direction.

The objects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned objects, and other objects and advantages of the present invention not mentioned may be understood by the following description, and will be more clearly understood by the examples of the present invention. It will also be readily apparent that the objects and advantages of the present invention may be realized by the means and combinations thereof indicated in the appended claims.

A feature of the golf club grip according to the present invention for achieving the above object is in the golf grip that is located at the upper end of the golf club and is provided so as to be gripped by hand, wherein the golf grip is gripped based on a square. The first protrusion 310 and the second protrusion 320 are accommodated inside the groove corresponding to the groove position of the left and right palms, and the golf grip 300 is positioned on the front surface of the golf grip 300 . a third protrusion 330 on which the thumb of the hand (left hand) gripping the It is characterized in that it is configured to be bent with a constant curvature from the outside to the front with respect to the center so that it can be seated inside.

Preferably, the curvature is characterized in that it has an angle of 10 degrees or less.

Preferably, when the first protrusion 310 is located on the left side with respect to the right-handed person, as it goes down from the top to the bottom of the golf grip 300, the first protrusion 310 is gradually curved from the left toward the front side, and the second protrusion 320 . is characterized in that when positioned on the right side with respect to the right hand, the golf grip 300 gradually curves from the right side toward the front side as it goes from the lower end to the upper end.

Preferably, the first protrusion 310 has a thickness of 33mm to 35mm of the golf grip 300 for holding the little finger of the left hand, and the second protrusion 320 has a golf grip for holding the thumb/index finger of the right hand ( 300) is characterized in that it has a thickness of 33mm to 35mm.

Preferably, the first and second protrusions 310 and 320 are characterized in that the upper end of the golf grip 300 is configured in an arcuate shape.

Preferably, the highest point of the first protrusion 310 is located at a position 10 to 15 degrees downward from the horizontal of the central axis with respect to a square, and the second protrusion 320 is the center with respect to a square. It is characterized in that the highest point is located at a position of 20 to 25 degrees upward from the horizontal axis.

The golf club grip according to the present invention as described above has the following effects.

First, a protrusion that sits in the groove of the palm of the hand when gripping a golf grip can be created to provide a correct and consistent balance of position, shape, and force of the left and right hands.

Second, a sufficient gripping force can be maintained with respect to the centrifugal force applied to the golf grip during the swing process by providing the left and right protrusions on which the grooves of the left and right palms are accurately seated when the golf grip is gripped.

Third, when gripping the golf grip, the protrusion provided in the golf grip is seated in the groove of the palm to provide a stable swing trajectory and down blow shot for the hand-first of the left wrist, improving directionality and distance, and using the designated inner muscles. It can provide a consistent swing and precise impact.

Fourth, by providing a stable grip through the protrusion provided in the golf grip, the center of gravity of the club shaft is provided as an action point suitable for each position of the swing path, thereby creating a highly consistent swing path, thereby providing a high-accuracy impact and swing mechanism.

Fifth, by providing the correct use environment for the right wrist and right wrist in the top position, the use of the inner muscles and the center of gravity at the end of the grip are provided in the direction of gravity + the target direction (the direction of the action point), and excessive inside swing/overswing/flat swing can be prevented, and thus casting prevention can be provided.

Sixth, by making the center of gravity of the shaft go low inside the body, the correct lower body movement can be naturally provided during the downswing to increase the probability of an accurate impact.

Seventh, it is possible to increase the probability of an accurate impact to the hand-first state at impact because the muscles recognize and swing by making the hand shape at the correct impact at the address.

Eighth, the aiming ability can be improved by ensuring that the left arm (wrist)/right arm (wrist) grip the right arm in the target direction.

Ninth, when the protrusion is gripped in the bottom groove of the left hand, the left wrist creates a hand-first shape in the target direction, which creates pressure on the little finger and extension muscles under the left wrist, leading to the strongest generation of force in the most important muscle of the little finger. This has the effect of always making a square at the point of impact with the ball, even if the backswing is excessively lifted out or inside.

In addition to the above-described effects, the specific effects of the present invention will be described together while describing specific details for carrying out the invention below.

Furthermore, it may mean that other components may be interposed between the component and any component disposed on (or under) the component.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a golf club grip according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the golf club can be largely divided into a head 100 , a shaft 200 , and a golf grip 300 .

The head 100 is a part that directly hits a golf ball, and various types are applied depending on the type of golf club (eg, a driver or an iron, etc.).

The shaft 200 has a long rod shape so that the head 100 is fixed at the lower end, the grip is fixed at the upper end, and the flying distance is improved with strong elasticity during swing and impact.

The golf grip 300 is a portion gripped (grasped) by a golfer with his or her hand during a swing, and corresponds to the position of the gripped hand, and corresponds to the home position of the left and right palms during gripping, and is accommodated inside the groove. A protrusion 310 and a second protrusion 320 are configured, and a third protrusion 330 on which the thumb of the hand gripping the upper portion of the golf grip 300 is seated may be configured on one side of the golf grip 300 . there is.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the configuration of the golf grip of FIG. 1 in detail, and FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the configuration of the golf grip of FIG. 1 in detail. 4A to 4C are diagrams illustrating a state in which the golf grip of FIG. 1 is gripped by the left hand and the right hand.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the first and second protrusions 310 and 320 provided in the golf grip 300 are located on the left and right sides of the golf grip 300 with respect to a square, respectively, and , the third protrusion 330 may be located on the front side of the golf grip 300 with respect to a square.

That is, the first protrusion 310 is located on the left side where the left hand grips the upper part of the golf grip 300 with respect to the right hand side. In addition, the second protrusion 320 may be located on the right side where the right hand holding the lower part of the golf grip 300 is located with respect to the right hand.

At this time, the first protrusion 310 and the second protrusion 320 correspond to the position of the gripped hand, so that they can be completely seated inside the groove of the palm from the outside to the front direction based on the center rather than in the vertical direction. It may be configured to be twisted with a constant curvature. In this case, the curvature may be configured at an angle of 10 degrees or less, preferably 5 degrees or less.

That is, when the first protrusion 310 is located on the left side with respect to the right hand, as it goes down from the top to the bottom of the golf grip 300, the first protrusion 310 may be configured to gradually bend from the left side toward the front side. In addition, when the second protrusion 320 is located on the right side with respect to the right hand, as it goes from the bottom to the top of the golf grip 300, the second protrusion 320 may be configured to gradually bend from the right side toward the front side.

The first protrusion 310 has a protrusion thickness of 33mm to 35mm of the golf grip 300 for holding the little finger of the left hand, and the second protrusion 320 has a golf grip 300 for holding the thumb/index finger of the right hand. may have a thickness of 33 mm to 35 mm.

This thickness is determined when the golf grip 300 is gripped, that is, when the palm of the left hand is gripped, and the finger is gripped around the emotional line of the right hand, the first and second protrusions 310 and 320 are the palms. It is the thickness that can be seated most stably inside the groove of

As such, by configuring the protruding thickness of the left finger grip due to the first protrusion 310 to be 33 to 35 mm, as shown in FIG. 4A , the left wrist has a hand-first shape in the target direction. Pressure builds up in the little finger and extension muscles, which can induce the strongest force to be generated in the most important muscles of the little finger. In other words, it can be induced to hold in the order of little finger > ring finger > middle finger, which is the correct grip strength standard for the left finger.

In addition, by configuring the protrusion thickness of the right finger grip due to the second protrusion 320 to be 33 to 35 mm, as shown in FIG. 4B , it is possible to prevent in advance from applying excessive force to the right finger to hold it. there is.

Accordingly, the first and second protrusions 310 and 320 are able to maintain the left hand as a reference point of the correct gripping position and grip force of the left hand, as shown in FIG. 4c, and the position of the right hand grip is also on the right hand emotional line. It can be maintained so that the standard can be grasped, so that the left and right hands can be induced to hold the correct grip so that the left and right hands are symmetrical.

And the third protrusion 330 may be configured in the center of the front surface of the golf grip 300 extending from the end of the first protrusion 310 and the start end of the second protrusion 320 bent from the outside to the front. there is.

On the other hand, the first and second protrusions 310 and 320 provided in the golf grip 300 are, respectively, on the left and right sides of the golf grip 300 based on a square, as shown in FIG. 3 . By configuring, the upper end of the golf grip 300 held by the left grip may be configured in an arcuate shape.

At this time, the first protrusion 310 is configured such that the highest point is located at a position of 10 to 15 degrees downward from the horizontal of the central axis with respect to a square, and the second protrusion 320 is a square based on It can be configured so that the highest point is located 20 to 25 degrees upward from the horizontal of the central axis.

As such, the reason that the first protrusion 310 and the second protrusion 320 are not configured to be completely symmetrical with each other is that when the golfer grips the golf grip 300 , the left hand comes into contact with the golf grip 300 . This is because the positions of the bottom surface and the bottom surface of the right hand are not completely symmetrical to each other.

Accordingly, when the golfer grips the golf grip 300, the protrusions of the first and second protrusions 310 and 320, which are seated in the grooves of the left and right palms, are configured at positions where the left and right palms can be completely symmetrical with each other. do.

Through this configuration, it is possible to hold a constant and accurate grip so that the left and right palms are symmetrical to each other. This increases the sense of unity between the left and right hands, and can create a consistent swing trajectory so that the shaft and head can accurately advance in the target direction.

The function of the golf club grip according to the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 refer to the same members performing the same functions.

In a reality where it is difficult for novice or amateur golfers to acquire accurate knowledge on how to grip a correct golf grip with the existing circular golf grip, the present invention provides a method and location for gripping a golf grip, and, most importantly, a gripping finger grip. It can provide precise criteria for strength and position shape.

First, the method and position of holding the left hand grip, and the case of holding the left hand grip, will be described as follows.

The existing circular golf grip is difficult to maintain the hand first of the left wrist, and it is difficult to generate a strong grip force on the little finger.

In the present invention, by configuring the tip of the golf grip 300 in an arch shape in order to present an accurate reference for the portion to hold the left hand grip, the concave portion through which the life line of the left hand passes in the portion processed in the arch shape is of the golf grip 300 . It is the standard for holding the arch.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4A , the thickness of the left finger grip protruding due to the first protrusion 310 is 33 to 35 mm, so that the left wrist has a hand-first shape in the target direction. As a result, pressure is generated in the muscles of the little finger and extension line under the left wrist, which can induce the strongest force to be generated in the most important muscle of the little finger. In other words, it can be induced to hold in the order of little finger > ring finger > middle finger, which is the correct grip strength standard for the left finger.

Through this, it is possible to increase the sense of unity between the left arm and the club shaft based on the pressure of the muscles of the left wrist, and it is possible to prevent overswing by presenting the correct shape of the left and right hands. In addition, it provides a stable takeway and backswing trajectory based on the left arm, as well as the position and shape of the top, and prevents casting during the downswing from the top position. In addition, it is possible to increase the probability of an accurate impact by increasing the probability of entering the golfer's desired swing trajectory, and the use of the inner muscles of the left arm (hand) and right arm (hand) in the use of the outer muscles of the left arm (hand) and right arm (hand) It induces the golfer to use it according to the desired swing trajectory and the correct muscle sequence, thereby creating a high-accuracy impact. In addition, it is possible to provide a high amount of backspin that improves accuracy and distance through the impact through the hand first of the left wrist, and it can make a stable swing trajectory by using the hand first and especially the pinky muscle. In particular, at the time of impact of the end of the golf grip 300, the shape can be induced to be made inside the center of the body, so that an accurate impact can be given. , and also the location is made close to the target direction, so that accurate directionality can be provided.

Next, the method and position of holding the right hand grip, and the case of holding the right finger grip will be described as follows.

In general, when gripping a grip, the correct grip method is to hold a golf grip with a symmetrical shape so that the bottom of the left hand and the bottom of the right hand face each other. often unable to In this case, there is a problem in making a correct swing trajectory due to the imbalance of power between the right and left hands.

That is, the existing circular golf grip uses the right finger (thumb/index finger) to use the outer muscle due to the circular shape that the right finger (thumb/index finger) can easily hold while applying force. This is a form in which the right hand is used incorrectly when starting the backswing (take away), so there is a lack of consistency in the backswing trajectory and problems in the shape of the top position (overswing/excessive flat swing) are inevitable. Therefore, the right hand (outer muscle) is used during the downswing, and as the right hand is cast, excessive out-in swing and in-out swing occur to create a consistent pitch, swing rhythm and timing, and a consistent swing trajectory and swing path. It is a form in which the range of miss-shots is inevitably large because it is not possible to do so.

The present invention corresponds to the position of the hand gripping the first protrusion 310 and the second protrusion 320 so that the left palm and the right palm can hold a constant and accurate grip so that the left and right palms are symmetrical to each other, inside the groove of the palm. It is configured to be twisted with a constant curvature from the outside to the front with respect to the center rather than in the vertical direction so that it can be fully seated.

In addition, in order for the left and right palms to be completely symmetrical to each other, the protrusions of the first protrusion 310 and the second protrusion 320 that are seated in the grooves of the left and right palms when the golfer grips the golf grip 300 include: Configure the left and right palms in a position where they can be completely symmetrical to each other. That is, the first protrusion 310 is configured such that the highest point is located at a position of 10 to 15 degrees downward from the horizontal reference of the central axis, and the second projection 320 is located 20 to 25 degrees upward from the horizontal reference of the central axis. is configured so that the highest point is located in

Through this configuration, the gripping position of the left thumb grip is held to the right so that the left thumb grip is positioned on a line that coincides with the direction in which the force of the shaft acts and the center of the force, thereby enhancing the sense of unity between the left and right hand. It can make a consistent swing trajectory so that the shaft and the head can travel precisely in the target direction.

At this time, the force of the shaft is the correct backswing, as shown in FIG. 5, on the extension line where the backswing and downswing are performed correctly at the position of the shortsham or longsum, where the thumb of the left hand is positioned on the line between the centerline of the existing shaft and the club leading edge. >Downswing>Impact>Follow>It refers to creating a swing mechanism of finish.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B , since the thickness of the protruding thickness of the right finger grip due to the second protrusion 320 is 33 to 35 mm, it is possible to prevent in advance from applying excessive force to the right finger. . In particular, the center of gravity of the second protrusion 320 and the emotion line portion are gripped so that the muscles of the right palm emotional line region can be stimulated. This can provide the correct interaction and use of the muscles of the left and right hands by restraining the use of the outer muscles of the right hand (thumb and index fingers) and the use of the inner muscles (the little and ring fingers), which are the correct areas of use of the right hand. As a result, the golfer can create a desired swing trajectory. That is, since a portion of the thumb and index finger catches the protruding portion of the second protrusion 320 , less force is applied to the thumb and index finger than before.

This allows you to provide a correct swing mechanism by limiting the use of your right thumb and index finger (outer muscles). In addition, the use of the wrong wrist and fingers can be suppressed because the left wrist grips the grip (the target direction of the right wrist) that has a sense of unity with the hand first in the target direction at address. This provides a stable swing plane by using the correct wrist and inner muscles, and a leg shape that bends the right wrist toward the target during downswing can provide high flying distance improvement by using the right right hand. In addition, the left arm (hand) and right arm (hand) lower the height of the club shaft in the body and send it farther away, thereby providing the effect of improving the sense of unity and directional flying distance.
