Description

Grip for golf clubs {GRIP FOR GOLF CLUB}

The present invention relates to a grip for a golf club, and more particularly, when trying to hold a golf club for a swing, by not applying force to the thumb of the right hand, while guiding the user to hold the golf club in a normal grip state by looking at the portion visually marked on the grip It relates to the provision of a grip that enables a smooth and stable swing by keeping the shoulder, arm, and body in a state that is not rigid due to the loss of strength.

In golf, a tee shot is performed using a driver at the tee box, and then the second and third shots or approaches are performed using a wood, iron, utility club, and wedge club to set the ball on the green, and then use a putter to play the green In the form of finishing one hole by putting it into the hole formed in

In order to perform such a golf sport, a player needs a ball and a golf club, and in the case of a golf club, a head that hits the ball substantially, a shaft coupled to the head, and an upper side of the shaft are coupled to the player to control the club. It is largely divided into a grip that allows you to hold it in your hand and swing it.

The grip has a length of approximately 25 - 27 cm and is made of a rubber material with a high coefficient of friction to maintain rigidity when held by hand.

Various types of grips as described above have been developed and used, and representative examples are as follows through literature.

Document 1 discloses that in a grip for a golf club, the grip has a concave portion formed by a first tapered surface whose outer diameter is reduced from the rear end to the front, and a second tapered surface whose outer diameter is enlarged in front of the concave portion. A convex portion is formed, and the first tapered surface and the second tapered surface are formed at the same angle with respect to the concave portion.

Document 2, in the grip for a golf club, the material is made of foamed latex, is tapered so that the outer diameter gradually increases from the front end to the rear end, the surface is embossed, and the latex is 100 weight of latex stock solution 1 to 2 parts by weight of DCP (Dicumy peroxide) as a curing agent, 4 to 6 parts by weight of a sulfate solution as an antioxidant, 6 to 8 parts by weight of zinc oxide, 2 to 3 parts by weight of a fungicide, 2-3 parts by weight of a fragrance It is characterized in that it is prepared by adding 8 to 12 parts by weight.

Patent No. 10 - 0907302 - 0000 Patent No. 10 - 1217399 - 0000

None.

In the case of Patent Document 1, the diameter of the grip is reduced from the rear to the front to form a concave portion and enlarged again to form a convex portion. It allows you to swing while minimizing fatigue on your fingers and wrists.

In the case of Patent Document 2, it is tapered so that the outer diameter gradually increases from the front end to the rear end, and since the surface is embossed, it increases the adhesion between the palm and the grip during gripping regardless of the surrounding environment, enabling a stable swing, If the grip is gripped again within a short period of time, gripping can be made at the correct point of the grip, and the hand is not easily fatigued even when used for a long time.

As described above, the main purpose of the golf club grip is to enable a smooth swing by allowing the player to hold it stably. Because ideas dominate, a lot of power is put into both hands.

For this reason, even though no trace should be left on the entire grip when swinging while holding the grip normally, if you see many golf clubs swinging for a long period of time or in the actual field, the position where the middle finger, ring finger, small finger and thumb of the left hand are gripped In addition, the grip at the position where the middle finger, index finger, and thumb of the right hand are gripped is severely worn or dented traces (damage) occur.

Most desirably, 70% of the total grip force occurs in the middle and ring fingers of the left hand, and 30% of the total grip force is distributed to the remaining fingers of the left and right hands. It is a well-known fact that the greatest amount of grip force must be distributed so that the player's arms and shoulders are not stiffened by the force applied to the player's arms and shoulders while holding the grip (club) stably.

In spite of this, in the practice or play process, the dominant idea is to hit the ball well first, so a lot of force is applied to both hands when holding the grip. It is difficult to lose and maintain a constant swing trajectory, so even though the hand holding the grip takes precedence and the head must follow, it is not free from the phenomenon of the head trying to go first.

As described above, when the hand-first head-last cannot be achieved and there is a head-first phenomenon, the face of the head cannot hit the ball normally due to the commonly-spoken casting phenomenon. Due to over-impact, the ball does not maintain a normal straight trajectory, and it becomes difficult to perform normal play due to the occurrence of malignant hooks and malignant slices that are heavily tilted to the right or left, or the phenomenon of maintaining unnecessarily high trajectory or low trajectory.

Also, to increase the distance, there are cases where you hold your hand at the upper end of the grip and swing. A number of problems are occurring.

Accordingly, the present invention was invented to solve the above problems, and consists of a tubular grip body whose diameter increases from the lower side to the upper side, and a shaft hole formed in the grip body so as to be coupled with the upper end of the shaft of the golf club. A grip for a golf club;

When the player grips the grip on the grip body with his hands, he applies force to his left middle, ring, and small fingers to hold the grip, and not to apply force to the thumb of his right hand, so that the force is applied to the arm and shoulder while holding the grip stably. Further comprising a grip recognition means that can be excluded as;

When gripping the golf club grip, it is consciously recognized by the grip recognition means and physically increases the grip force on the three fingers of the left hand and lowers the grip force of the thumb of the right hand to maintain a normal grip grip state. It is possible to achieve the purpose of enabling a smooth and smooth swing while letting the strength go away.

The present invention further provides a grip recognition means for visually recognizing this situation to the player while not giving force to the thumb of the right hand while applying force to the holding of the left middle and ring fingers to the grip of the golf club, By recognizing every gripping process in the actual play process, it has the effect of enabling a stable and smooth swing by releasing the force on the arms and shoulders through normal gripping.

The present invention not only improves the quality of the golf club by increasing the design aesthetic sense of the grip by visually exposing the grip recognition means on the surface of the grip, but also provides visual recognition and tactile recognition without artificially adjusting the grip force. Since it becomes difficult to apply excessive force even when holding the ball, it has various effects, such as enabling stable swing practice and play.

A typical golf club grip 100 is provided with a tubular grip body 101 whose diameter increases from the lower side to the upper side, and the grip body 101 includes the upper end of the shaft 103 of the golf club 102 and It is made of a material such as rubber having excellent frictional force by forming the shaft hole 104 so as to be coupled.

In the present invention, the grip body 101 is further provided with a grip recognition means 110 so that when the player holds the grip 100 with his hand, the left hand 111, the middle finger 112, the ring finger 113, and the small finger 114 By applying force to the grip, it is impossible to apply force to the right hand 115 and thumb 119 so that it is possible to fundamentally exclude the force from entering the arm, shoulder, and body while stably holding the grip 100 .

The grip recognition means 110 has a form such as a sheet or film made of a hard and slippery material when in contact with a finger rather than a material having a high frictional force on the grip body 101 at the position where the thumb 119 of the right hand 115 is in contact. It is composed by covering (wrapping) the Light Relaxation (120) of

As the material used as the grip recognition means 110, it has a molecular weight of about 10 times the molecular weight of high-density polyethylene, so it has high impact resistance and high resistance to wear and abrasion, and has a very low coefficient of friction and self-lubrication (slippery). It will be natural that molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) may be used, and other materials not illustrated may be selected and used.

The covering of the light relaxation 120 may be in the form of covering a certain area as a whole in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the grip 100, but several bands are arranged in parallel or oblique in order to enhance the aesthetic or design sense. It can be carried out in various ways, such as covering with

As another example, the light relaxation groove 121 may be further integrally formed so that the light relaxation 120 can be attached when the grip 100 is molded, and the grip ( 100) and can be implemented in various ways, such as forming a sense of unity.

In addition to the light relaxation 120, the position where the left hand 111 is gripped, especially the middle finger 112, ring finger 113, and the small finger 114, is further formed with fine friction protrusions 125 to form the left hand 111. The gripping force of three fingers may be increased.

And, at the upper end of the grip body 101, a left relaxation 130 of the same material as the light relaxation 120 is further provided to hold the left hand 111 at the end position of the grip 100 at the same time. It's good to be able to prevent it.

The light relaxation 120 and left relaxation 130 are not transparent and avoid the same color as the grip 100, and if possible, use a color complementary to the grip 100 so that it can be sufficiently visually exposed to the player. It would be preferable to

Although the present invention has been described with reference to a right-handed player, in the case of a left-handed player, it will be natural that the position or direction of the grip recognition means 110 can be adjusted to suit the left-handed user.

The state of use of the grip 100 for a golf club to which the technology of the present invention is applied as described above is as follows.

Since it is well known that the grip 100 is coupled to the shaft 103 of the golf club 102 and disassembled, the description will be omitted, and the process of using the grip 100 of the present invention by coupling the shaft 103 will be described. If you do:

The grip 100 is held by hand for practice in the practice field or for play in the field, at this time using the middle finger 112, ring finger 113, and small finger 114 of the left hand 111 to grip the grip 100. It is held as if it wraps around the lower surface of the upper side of the left hand 111 , and the thumb 131 of the left hand is placed on the upper surface of the upper side of the grip 100 .

At the same time, the holding finger 132 of the right hand 115 and the index finger 133 of the left hand 111 are interlocked with each other on the lower surface of the upper side of the grip 100, and the right hand 115, the ring finger 116, the middle finger 117, and the index finger 118 is a shape that wraps around the bottom of the grip 100 at the lower position of the left hand 111, and the thumb 119 of the right hand 115 wraps the upper part of the grip 100, so that the grip 100 is covered with both hands. 100) is completed.

As described above, there are various methods of gripping the grip, such as interlocking, overlocking, and baseball type, and it is natural that the grip is applied to all including drivers, woods and utilities, irons, wedges, and putters.

At this time, when the player tries to grip the grip 100, he sees the grip recognition means 110 that can be visually confirmed on the grip 100. ) and the ring finger 113 and the small finger 114 to hold the grip 100 firmly, and the thumb 119 of the right hand 115 can be excluded from consciously entering the force.

In particular, the grip 100 in which the right hand 115 is located is further provided with a light relaxation 120 constituting the grip recognition means 110 , so that even when a force is applied to the thumb 119 of the right hand 115 , the light relaxation Since 120 is made of a slippery material, it becomes a situation in which force cannot enter, so force is naturally applied to the middle finger 112, ring finger 113, and small finger 114 of the left hand 111, so the distribution of gripping force is also normal and textbook will become hostile.

When the swing is performed in this state, power is applied to the middle finger 112, ring finger 113, and small finger 114 of the left hand 111, so the strength is naturally lost to both arms and shoulders, and it is maintained in a non-rigid state. This allows for a stable swing.

When the grip 100 is firmly held using the middle finger 112, the ring finger 113, and the small finger 114 of the left hand 111, the strength of both arms and shoulders is reduced by many golf books and golf instructors. Since it has been proven and teaching is still being made with these contents, a description for this will be omitted.

In addition, an unstable swing that may occur in the process of increasing the distance by holding the left hand 111 at the upper end of the grip 100 is caused by the left relaxation 130 formed at the upper end of the grip body 101 to the grip body 101. This can be prevented by preventing the left hand 111 from being in close contact with the upper end.

Incidentally, since fine friction protrusions 125 are further formed on the grip body 101 at the position where the left hand 111 is gripped, the gripping force of the left hand 111 can be increased, so that the grip can be held more stably.

In the present invention as described above, when gripping the grip of the golf club, the grip recognition means provides a conscious recognition of the grip and physically increases the gripping force on the three fingers of the left hand, and reduces the gripping force of the right hand, especially the gripping force of the thumb, resulting in a normal grip gripping state. It has advantages such as enabling a smooth and smooth swing while allowing the strength of the arms and shoulders to fall.
