Description

Golf tee cap for preventing slices and hooks {GOLF TEE CAP FOR PREVENTING SLICE SHOT AND HOOK SHOT}

These embodiments relate to a golf tee cam, and more specifically, to a golf tee cap that can prevent slices or hooks from occurring by suppressing the rotation of a golf ball during a tee shot.

In general, slices and hooks refer to a phenomenon in which the golf ball rotates to the right or left when taking a tee shot, causing the batted ball to curve to the right or left instead of moving in a straight line.

In particular, slice is one of the difficulties that beginners often encounter. When a slice or hook occurs, the batted ball moves in an unwanted direction and the distance is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to practice repeatedly to correct your posture when hitting the tee shot accurately and to avoid slices or hooks.

However, people who find it difficult to invest a lot of time in golf practice or who lack motor skills often lose interest and quit practicing golf because their posture is not corrected even after practice and they continue to suffer slices or hooks. .

Therefore, there is a need to prevent rotation of the golf ball so that even beginners can achieve straight tee shots without slices or hooks.

These embodiments were developed in the background described above and relate to a golf tee cap that can prevent slices or hooks from occurring by suppressing the rotation of a golf ball during a tee shot.
