Description

Golf swing leg corrector

The present invention relates to a leg corrector for golf practice, and more specifically, to a golf swing leg corrector that can help maintain a stable posture while maintaining leg movement during golf swing practice.

In golf exercise, swing movement refers to a series of movements that lead to address, backswing, downswing, impact, follow draw, and finish.

During this movement process, the golfer's foot position, waist movement, and the rotation range and speed of the golf club affect the stability and distance of the batted ball.

Therefore, in order to increase stability and distance when swinging, golfers practice repeatedly in the mirror or have an expert correct their posture to achieve the optimal swing posture.

In this way, repeated practice with a mirror does not provide much help in acquiring the correct swing posture, and swing posture correction by an expert has the disadvantage of being less effective compared to the cost of instruction.

Meanwhile, recently, various types of devices have been developed to correct golf swing posture.

However, most correction devices in the prior art are intended to correct the swing motion of the upper body, but there is a need for devices to correct the leg region of the lower body, which is the basis of the actual swing motion.

Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 1960083 (registered on March 13, 2019) Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 0809991 (registered on February 27, 2008)

The present invention was proposed to improve the problems in the prior art described above, and provides a leg corrector that can provide stable support and posture correction of the lower body leg area during the golf swing, thereby enabling more efficient golf swing practice. There is a purpose.

The golf leg corrector of the present invention for achieving the above object includes a corrector body having a leg insertion groove formed so that the calf area including the ankle can be inserted; a base plate in the form of a plate coupled to the lower part to stably support the corrector body; It is characterized in that it comprises a buffer member made of elastic material formed at the upper end of the leg insertion groove of the corrector body.

In addition, the corrector body is characterized by being provided with multi-stage parts in the form of steps so that the thickness gradually increases from the top to the bottom in order to maintain a stable upright position.

The leg corrector for the golf swing of the present invention provides stable support to the lower body leg area during golf swing practice, thereby improving the posture correction effect.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be examined in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described in detail below. This example is provided to more completely explain the present invention to those with average knowledge in the art.

Accordingly, the shapes of components expressed in the drawings may be exaggerated to emphasize a clearer description. It should be noted that the same configuration may be indicated by the same reference numeral in each drawing. Additionally, detailed descriptions of the functions and configurations of known technologies that are judged to unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention may be omitted.

First, the configuration of the golf swing leg corrector according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows through FIGS. 1 to 5.

The leg corrector in this embodiment includes a corrector main body 10 in which a leg insertion groove 11 is formed so that the calf area including the ankle can be inserted, and a lower part to stably support the corrector main body 10. It is composed of a base plate 20 in the form of a metal plate coupled to and a buffer member 30 made of an elastic material such as sponge or urethane and formed at the upper end of the leg insertion groove 11 of the corrector body 10.

In particular, it can be confirmed that a heel support protrusion 12 is provided protruding on one side of the lower part of the leg insertion groove 11 to support the heel of the user's shoe, and an instep support 15 is provided on the other side to support the instep of the shoe. You can.

In addition, the corrector body 10 is provided with a step-shaped multi-stage portion 13 on the rear side so that the thickness gradually increases from the top to the bottom to maintain a stable upright position.

In addition, the buffer member 30 has a structure that is detachable from the corrector body 10 so that it can be easily replaced. To this end, the buffer member 30 can be inserted into the corrector main body 10. A buffer member insertion groove 14 is formed.

The corrector body 10 in this embodiment can be made of various materials such as wood, synthetic resin (PP, ABS), metal, etc.

Let's look at the effect of using the leg corrector of the present invention, which has such a configuration.

The leg corrector of the present invention can help maintain balance by supporting the left leg when practicing golf swing.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when the base plate 20 is stepped on with the left foot and the calf area is supported by insertion into the leg insertion groove 11, the buffer member 30 supports the left leg. is achieved.

When a swing motion is performed in this state, the left leg is inserted into and supported in the leg insertion groove 11 of the corrector body 10, so instantaneous movement of the left leg can be prevented.

In particular, the heel of the user's shoe is supported by the heel support protrusion (12), and the instep of the shoe is supported by the instep support (15), thereby preventing the heel of the user's shoe from lifting off the ground or turning the foot during a swing motion. There will be.

In addition, the cushioning member 30, which elastically supports the calf area, has a detachable structure, so that it can be easily replaced in case of contamination.

Therefore, the leg corrector for golf swing of the present invention can provide stable support to the lower body leg area during golf swing practice, thereby improving the posture correction effect.

Meanwhile, Figures 7 and 8 show a configuration according to another embodiment of the present invention, where a fixing band 40 for fixing the user's calf area is connected to one side of the corrector body 10, and the fixing band ( 40) The distal end is provided with the corrector body 10 and a Velcro tape 41 for attachment and detachment, and a friction layer 42 is coated on the inner surface of the fixing band 40 to increase friction with the calf area.

In particular, the friction layer 42 is composed of 20 to 40% by weight of urethane resin, 10 to 30% by weight of polyurea, 10 to 30% by weight of titanium dioxide, 10 to 20% by weight of calcium alginate, 1 to 10% by weight of bromine, and oxidation. It is preferable to have a mixed composition of 1 to 10% by weight of cesium and 1 to 10% by weight of perlite.

If this configuration is achieved, the left leg can be closely fixed using the fixation band 40 when practicing the golf swing, thereby maintaining a more stable balance and exhibiting a posture correction effect.

In addition, the friction layer 42 formed on the inner surface of the fixing band 40 improves the leg adhesion support effect. The polyurea mixed in the friction layer 42 prevents discoloration and oxidation, and the titanium dioxide And calcium alginate can prevent cracks from occurring by enhancing the durability and strength of the coating layer. Additionally added bromine prevents the creation of voids due to increased bonding between the mixed components, cesium oxide prevents hardening due to activation of the urethane resin, and perlite has an advanced effect that further maximizes surface friction. .

Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and shown above, it is obvious that the leg corrector structure of the present invention can be modified and implemented in various ways by those skilled in the art.

For example, in the above embodiment, the corrector body is described and shown as forming a multi-stage structure in the form of steps, but if necessary, it can be manufactured in a pyramid-type structure in the shape of an inclined plane.

Additionally, in the case of left-handed golfers, it can be used as support for the right leg.

Therefore, such modified embodiments should not be understood individually from the technical spirit or scope of the present invention, and such modified embodiments should be included within the scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
