The present invention relates to a golf club that senses the impact point, more specifically, the golf ball hits the head when practicing practice putting on the ideal spot (sweet spot) of the golf club head (spot swing) It relates to a golf club that can be easily checked whether or not.

Golfers swing the golf clubs to hit the golf balls using the rotational torque obtained by the head's inertia and centrifugal force.However, the skilled person can easily see the problem of posture by looking at the direction in which the golf ball is flying. However, if the beginner can not know this can not know the wrong posture is easy to habit, in particular, there was a problem in which the golf ball hit the golf club head in which it was not known.

Golfers applied for a practice golf club as registered Utility Model Publication No. 310793 in order to determine the location where they are instantly hit, and the golf head hits the golf ball accurately by forming a hole that can fit the golf ball in the ideal spot of the golf head. If you do the golf ball is a configuration that can determine whether the correct hit was made by entering the hole of the golf head already formed, this design can be used only when practicing and has the disadvantage that can not be used in the actual field.

Another method for grasping the location of a momentary hit is a registration putter for golf putters, registered in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 17203, where the cover of the leveling mirror having the aiming mirror is adjustable to be installed on the bracket of the support plate. A pair of protrusions are formed vertically on the front of both ends of the support plate to form the aiming mechanism, and then the aiming mechanism is attached to the putter. The putter is integrally formed with a projection that separates the aiming mirror and the contact center between the level gauge and the golf ball. Therefore, the direction of hitting the putter in the straight direction between the golf ball and the hole can be aimed primarily by the aiming mirror. Secondly, the golf ball can be aimed at right angle to the putter with respect to the golf ball by the horizontal level, and the golf ball can be aimed at the center point of the putter by a pair of protrusions. It is possible to do this, but the auxiliary tool installed outside can give a reference point before hitting, but it is a configuration that can not determine the instant hitting position.

Therefore, if the golf ball hits the head at the exact moment of hitting, the golfer can correct the golf posture more easily, so you need a device that can tell the golfer exactly where the golf ball hit the club head Was done.

The present invention has been invented to solve the above problems,
