Description

Smart golf address stance correction apparatus {Smart golf address stance correction apparatus}

The present invention relates to a golf address posture correcting device, and more particularly, by wearing a hat, cap, band, etc. It relates to a smart golf address posture correcting device that creates and maintains a good golf address posture and a good swing trajectory so that a user can obtain desired results through golf exercise.

There are a variety of devices and tools designed to make a good golf swing so that the golf ball arrives accurately at the desired destination. For example, devices related to golf address techniques, tools related to posture, auxiliary tools for golf address skills, overall swing trajectory correction devices, partial swing trajectory correction devices, correction devices during the swing process, arm and shoulder movements There are tools for hands, tools for hands and hand movements.

Conventional devices and tools as described above are products related to partial posture correction, motion, sense, and feeling before actually hitting a golf ball or hitting a golf ball. In particular, products that are worn to hit a golf ball are products that are attached to hands, arms, legs, etc., and there are also products that are attached to golf clubs or made like golf clubs.

Golf address posture and swing are different for each person and for different physical conditions (e.g., children, students, young adults, seniors, seniors, men and women, left-handers, right-handers, back twisters, back benders, growers). neck, myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism, etc.) are each. In addition, each person's golf address posture, swing, trajectory, etc. are changed according to the sense, feeling, and body change at the time, so that sometimes good results are obtained and other times bad results are obtained.

The factors that affect golf address posture are largely lower body, waist, spine, arm position, head position, eyes and eyesight, and grip. Among these, the correlation between the head position and the eyes acts as a very large factor for middle-aged, middle-aged and elderly people rather than children and young people. In addition, among young people, people with a large difference in visual acuity between both eyes and people with severe astigmatism are also affected by the golf address posture as a cause of visual acuity.

In particular, people with turtle necks, straight necks, and vision problems (myopia, astigmatism, and people with large visual acuity differences between both eyes) are affected by physical condition and surrounding environmental conditions in the golf address posture, resulting in a lot of changes in golf address posture. do. And, people with a curved spine are more affected by this.

People with severe astigmatism or a large difference between the two eyes may have different senses and feelings depending on which eye they look at even if they place the golf ball in a certain position between their feet, and also depending on when they exercise in the morning, noon, and evening. It affects the address posture and acts as a big change factor in forming the correct swing trajectory.

Meanwhile, Korean Patent Laid-open Publication No. 10-2017-0035126 (Patent Document 1) discloses a "wearable posture correction device and method for golf", which can be attached to the user's body. a housing 10; a sensor unit 20 installed inside the housing and equipped with a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor to measure at least one of a rotation angle, an inclination angle, and an inclination direction in real time; A button switch 30 for setting a first angle, which is a target traveling direction of a golf ball, based on information measured by the sensor unit 20 by a user's push motion; and a control unit 40 that calculates a rotation value for taking an address posture based on the information measured by the sensor unit 20, and the rotation value is determined from the first angle at a time when the user takes the address posture. Characterized in that it represents the rotation angle up to the second angle,

In the case of Patent Document 1 as described above, a waist clip is provided so that the user can correct the posture by wearing it on the waist during rounding, and the sensor unit is provided to detect the rotation angle of the user so that the user can correct the posture. Although there is some effect that can be achieved, it is a mechanism that corrects the user's posture by measuring the angle of the golf ball hit by the golfer and the rotation angle of the user's torso when the golf ball is hit. Golfer) has a difficult problem in applying to maintain or correct a constant golf address posture desired by the golfer.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2017-0035126 (2017.03.30.)

The present invention was created in consideration of the above matters comprehensively, and an assistive device that helps a user (golfer) maintain or correct a posture as constant as possible at address when taking a posture to hit a golf ball is provided with a cap on the head, By wearing a cap, band, etc., continuously maintaining or correcting a good golf address posture during practice or field exercise to create and maintain a good golf address posture and a good swing trajectory so that the user can achieve the desired result of golf exercise Its purpose is to provide a smart golf address posture correction device.
