Description

Golf putting practice device {PRACTICE DEVICE FOR GOLF PUTTING}

The present invention relates to a device for practicing golf putting, and more specifically, to a golf putting practice device that allows repeated practice even in a narrow space and enhances putting strength and accuracy.

Golf is a popular sport, and in order to make an accurate and correct golf swing, a series of consecutive postures, such as address, takeaway, backswing, downswing, impact, follow throw, and finish, are very important. Golf can be said to be a sport where posture is more important than any other sport. The elements of posture include the angle and trajectory of the swing, the time and rhythm of the swing, and the weight transfer during the swing. By practicing these elements repeatedly, you can improve yourself. The goal of golf practice can be to always reproduce the ideal posture when necessary.

As an outdoor sport, golf can be greatly affected by the weather, and has the disadvantage of being difficult to enjoy in rainy or windy weather. Accordingly, various golf practice devices that can be enjoyed indoors are being developed. However, this practice also requires a fairly large and high space, and can be done at an outdoor practice range or a membership-only indoor golf practice range, so it may interfere with consistent swing practice.

Due to various limitations, there may be a problem in that golfers cannot correct their golf swing posture and practice their swing in places other than the official practice range, such as home or office. These practice limitations can also be applied to putting practice rather than general swing.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0114367 relates to a golf putting practice device, and discloses a putting practice device that allows the user to master the putting action of hitting a golf ball and accurately sending it to the target point during golf putting. The fixed body and the rotating body are connected with a concentric rotation axis, the assembly with a coupling rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating body, and the putter head and the coupling rod are removably inserted and coupled so that the putter head moves in a reciprocating motion like a pendulum. It was designed to allow continuous repetitive practice of hitting a golf ball in a certain direction.

It is beneficial in that it allows you to hit the golf ball repeatedly, but because the concentric rotation axis must extend to the center of the rotation axis of the user's shoulder, the size of the device must be almost as high as the size of a person, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to practice by controlling the putting strength. There is.

In addition, since the coupling rod must be inserted and coupled to the putter, it is difficult to implement with a regular putter or the user's own putter, and also has the disadvantage of making it difficult to practice the direction accuracy of the putter.

The present invention provides a golf putting practice device that is not limited by space even when used indoors and is relatively small in size and easy to store.

The present invention provides a golf putting practice device that can correct the golf putting posture by itself while checking the aim of the golf putting.

The present invention provides a golf putting practice device that can practice hitting strength and accuracy of golf putting.

The present invention provides a golf putting practice device that can confirm golf putting practice results with sound.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above-described objects of the present invention, a practice device for golf putting includes a base including a bottom plate and a support pillar, a rotating body rotatably mounted on the upper part of the support pillar, a putting rotation unit including a rotating rod extending from the rotating body toward the base plate and a practice ball provided at an end of the rotating rod, and an aiming unit for aiming the practice ball in response to the practice ball on the base plate in the initial position; , the user can adjust the hitting point of the practice ball using the aiming unit, and the practice ball can rotate with the rotating rod and return to its initial position on the floor plate.

Using the aiming unit, you can repeatedly practice the hitting point of the practice ball and its response, and you can practice putting in a small size that is easy to store.

The aiming unit may be mounted on a rotating body and rotate together with the putting rotating unit, and the rotating rod may be bent or curved toward the rear to align the aiming unit and the practice ball in an upward and downward direction at the initial position.

The golf putting practice device may further include a target rotation unit to check whether the practice ball is hit correctly. The target rotation unit may include a target rod rotatably and fixably mounted on the upper part of the support pillar and a target provided at an end of the target rod and positioned on the rotation orbit of the practice ball. And the rotating rod may be equipped with a target hammer for hitting the target. Therefore, the target can be positioned at any position in the rotation trajectory of the practice ball, and the target hammer can collide with the target as the rotation rod rotates with the practice ball.

Depending on the sound made when the target hammer and target collide, you can check the appropriateness of strength and accuracy of direction, and the position of the target can also be changed.

The target may be a target bell mounted on the end of the target rod via a spring, and the target hammer may be mounted on a bent portion of the bent rotating rod.

The aiming unit may include an aiming guide mounted on a rotating body, a balance body that moves and is fixed along the aiming guide, and an aiming ring mounted on the balance body.

It may include a ring adjuster for adjusting the position of the aiming ring with respect to the balance body, and the position of the aiming ring can be adjusted one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally through the ring adjusting part.

An anti-friction groove or anti-friction hole may be formed on the bottom plate to prevent friction with the hit practice ball, and since the rotating rod is bent or curved toward the rear, if there is an anti-friction groove or hole, the practice ball will move in the direction of travel. It can be moved without disturbing the movement.

The rotating rod may be mounted on the rotating body to be rotatable in the left and right directions with respect to the desired direction of movement of the practice ball. The rotating body of the putting rotating part may form a rotating surface parallel to the hitting direction of the practice device. In addition, the practice ball can move within a predetermined range in an inclined direction, that is, in the left and right directions, with respect to this rotating surface. It is possible for the practice ball to deviate from the intended direction of movement, so if the practice ball is hit in a slightly wrong direction rather than straight ahead, , this can be reflected in the trajectory of the practice ball. If the trajectory of the practice ball is wrong, the practice ball or striking hammer cannot hit the target or target species described above in the correct position, and the hitting sound may be different from the cheerful sound made when it is hit accurately.

The putting rotating unit further includes a tong for fixing the practice ball to the end of the rotating rod, and the practice ball may be replaceable. Practice balls can be provided in the size of regular golf balls, and it is also possible to use golf balls familiar to the user as practice balls by holding them in the tongs.

The golf putting practice device of the present invention is not limited by space even when used indoors, does not need to be manufactured in a size as large as a person's height, and maintains a relatively small size, making it easy to store.

The golf putting practice device of the present invention can correct the golf putting posture by itself while checking the aim of the golf putting through the aiming unit.

The golf putting practice device of the present invention can confirm the hitting strength in various ways through manipulation of the balance body, the position of the target, the number of times the target is hit, etc.

Additionally, the accuracy of the hitting direction can be independently corrected using the sound of the target hammer hitting the target.

And it may include a target rotation unit 140 that can confirm accurate putting results.

The base 110 may include a bottom plate 112 and a support pillar 114 formed on one side of the bottom plate 112. The bottom plate 112 may be formed to be long along the putting direction, and an anti-friction hole 116 or groove may be formed in response to the path along which the practice ball 126 moves. The anti-friction hole 116 or groove can prevent the bottom plate 112 from interfering with the rotation of the training ball 126 in response to the rotation rod 124 bent backwards.

The bottom plate 112 and the support pillar 114 are relatively fixed structures and may be formed as one piece, but their structure or material is not limited to a specific structure or material.

The putting rotation unit 120 is a structure that rotates the practice ball 126 relative to the base 110, and is provided from the rotary body 122 and the rotary body 122 rotatably mounted on the upper part of the support pillar 114. It includes an extended rotary rod 124, and the rotary rod 124 can be maintained extended downward by gravity in its initial state.

The training hole 126 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 124 and may be located approximately on the anti-friction hole 116. The rotating rod 124 is bent at about 90 degrees on the bottom plate 112, and the center of the aiming unit 130 may be located approximately at the end of the training ball 126. To this end, the rotating body 122 may provide minimal resistance to maintain the state shown in FIG. 3 at the initial position.

Referring to Figure 3, the user can adjust the hitting point of the practice ball 126 through the aiming unit 130 while in a putting posture, and in this case, the sight 138 of the aiming ring 136 can be used.

In this embodiment, because the rotating rod 124 is bent or curved backward, it may be possible to correspond the position of the training ball 126 and the sight 138 of the aiming unit 130.

The aiming unit 130 is for aiming the practice ball 126 on the floor plate 112 at the initial position before hitting, and the user ensures that the center of the sight 138 is located at the center of gravity of the practice ball 126. The aiming unit 130 and the sight 138 can be aligned to a position suitable for oneself, such as aiming to be located at the center end of the ball.

In this embodiment, the aiming unit 130 is integrally mounted on the putting rotating unit 120 and rotates like the practice ball 126, but in other embodiments, it is fixed to the base 110 or to the outside to maintain a fixed position. It may be possible.

The aiming unit 130 may rotate together with the putting rotation unit 120. For this purpose, the aiming unit 130 includes an aiming guide 132 mounted on the rotating body 122, a balance body 134 that moves and is fixed along the aiming guide 132, and an aiming ring mounted on the balance body 134 ( 136) may be included.

The aiming ring 136 may be provided with a cross-shaped sight 138 or various types of sights, and various types of aiming methods or structures may be applied in addition to the aiming ring.

The aiming unit 130 according to this embodiment may be provided with a balance body 134. The user can adjust the position of the balance body 134 to adjust the strength of the rebound when hitting the practice ball 126 with a putter, and adjust the relative weight of the practice ball 126 to adjust the speed, uphill, and downhill on the green. You can practice.

The target rotation unit 140 can check whether the practice ball 126 has been hit correctly. The target rotating part 140 is provided on the target rod 142 rotatably and fixably mounted on the upper part of the support pillar 114 and the end of the target rod 142 to rotate the practice ball 126 or the target hammer 128. It may include a target species 144 located on orbit.

In response to the target bell 144, a target hammer 128 for hitting the target bell 144 may be mounted on the bent portion of the rotating rod 124. Therefore, the target hammer 128 and the target bell 144 may collide at a predetermined position during the rotation of the practice ball 126, and a cheerful sound may be generated when the conical end of the hammer exactly meets the target. And depending on the intensity with which the user hits the practice ball 126, collision between the target hammer 128 and the target bell 144 may occur one or more times.

By forming a protrusion at the joint between the target rod 142 and the support pillar 114, the target bell 144 can be fixed at a fixed angle, and the angle is at uniform angle intervals such as 30, 45, and 60 degrees. It can be adjusted and fixed at any angle.

In order for the target hammer 128 to hit the target bell 144 twice or more, it may be desirable for the rotating rod 124 to be provided as a metal or synthetic resin rod that maintains a certain shape rather than a rope or wire.

As a target, the target species 144 is located at the end of the target rod 142, and the target rod 142 can position the target species 144 at any position on the rotation orbit. The target species 144 may be mounted on the end of the target rod 142 via a spring. In this embodiment, the target is provided in a bell shape, but it may also be provided in various other shapes such as a metal plate, and the target may be provided in a position where it can directly hit the practice ball instead of corresponding to the target hammer.

3 and 4, the rotary rod 124 can be connected to rotate in the front-back direction and at the same time swing left and right within the rotating body 122, and can move like a pendulum to the left and right within a predetermined range. Therefore, when the user hits the practice ball 126, if the user does not hit the center accurately, the practice ball 126 and the rotating rod 124 may shake left and right, and may deviate from or miss the target bell 144, thereby accurately hitting the center. You may not be able to hit.

Through this response, the user can correct the posture and swing to accurately hit the target bell 144, and through this, can practice an accurate putting swing.
