- In general, a putter is an iron club for putting and is used to directly hit a ball on a green toward a hole. The term, putting, means an act of hitting a ball using a putter.
- In the above-mentioned putting, direction and distance are important for successful putting, but what is required most is a correct putting posture. In order to have the correct putting posture, it is necessary to learn the feeling of the posture through numerous exercises over a long period of time.
- In this case, the correct putting posture refers to a posture for causing a putter and a golfer's hands holding the putter to perform a pendulum movement around the golfer's head during swing and causing the putter head to impact the ball at the lowest point of the pendulum movement. The ball will be sent to the desired position only when the ball is hit with the posture described above.
- When the wrist is bent or the body is shaken during the swing, a correct pendulum movement is not performed. Thus, the ball is impacted at an improper position and the ball will not be sent to the desired position.
- These problems may be somewhat solved by practicing putting using a practice putter.

FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a first embodiment of the present disclosure,FIGS. 4A to 4C are perspective views illustrating different embodiments of a hitting member illustrated inFIG. 1 , andFIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a coupling state of the golf practice putter illustrated inFIG. 3 . - As illustrated in
FIGS. 3 to 5 , a golf practice putter according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure includes aputter head 20 having aputter face 24 at a lower end of ashaft 10 having a grip at an upper end thereof, and a hittingmember 30 is detachably coupled to theputter head 20. - This will be described in more detail.
- A through
hole 22 is formed in theputter head 20 to be stepped such that afastening bolt 40 upwardly passes through the throughhole 22 from the bottom face of theputter head 20, and acutout portion 26 is formed in theputter face 24 corresponding to the throughhole 22 to open a portion of theupper face 23 of theputter head 20 in a hitting direction. - Forming the through
hole 22 to be stepped is to prevent the head of the fasteningbolt 40 from protruding from the bottom face of theputter head 20 when thefastening bolt 40 is coupled to the hittingmember 30 through the throughhole 22. - It is desirable to form the through
hole 22 and thecutout portion 26 in the middle portion of theputter head 20. - The hitting
member 30 is configured to be selectively coupled to or separated from theputter head 20, and is formed to have the shape of a golf ball as illustrated inFIG. 3 in a size, which is the same as or similar to that of the golf ball. The hittingmember 30 has a spherical orflat hitting face 34 on the outer peripheral face thereof, aseating face 32 seated on theupper face 23 of theputter head 20, and asupport face 32A formed on one side of theseating face 32 in a stepped form so as to be supported by theedge 23A of theupper face 32 when theseating face 32 is seated on theupper face 23. Theseating face 32 is provided with a screw-fastening groove 32B having female threads such that thefastening bolt 40 is coupled thereto. - The hitting
member 30 described above is interchangeably coupled to theputter head 20 by thefastening bolt 40 in the state of being seated on theupper face 23 such that a part of the hittingface 34 protrudes beyond theputter face 24 through thecutout portion 26. In addition, even if the fastening bolt is fastened to the screw-fastening groove 32B through the throughhole 22 from the bottom face of theputter head 20, the head of thefastening bolt 40 does not protrude from the bottom face of theputter head 20 since the head of thefastening bolt 40 is seated in the stepped throughhole 22. - Meanwhile, the hitting
face 34 of the hittingmember 30 is formed as aspherical hitting face 34A formed in a curvature, which is the same as the golf ball or aflat hitting face 34B formed in a plane shape. When aflat hitting face 34B is formed as the hittingface 34, it is desirable to provide multiple hittingmembers 30 for respective sizes of flat hitting faces 34B. That is, when multiple hittingmembers 30 having different flat hitting surfaces 34B of different sizes are provided, a user may select a hittingmember 30 having theflat face 34B of a desired size, and may use the hittingmember 30 by coupling the hittingmember 30 to theputter head 20. - The action of the golf practice putter according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, which is configured as described above, will be described.

That is, the user selects a hittingmember 30 having a desired hittingsurface 34 and couples the hittingmember 30 to theputter head 20 using thefastening bolt 40. - Next, when the hitting
member 30 is coupled to theputter head 20, since the hittingface 34 protrudes beyond the hittingface 24 of theputter head 20 in the hitting direction through thecutout portion 26, the user is capable of performing putting practice for hitting a golf ball with the hittingmember 30, as illustrated inFIG. 6 . - Since it is possible to select one of a hitting
member 30 having aspherical hitting face 34A and a hittingmember 30 having a flat hitting face 34B and to use the selected one by coupling the selected one to theputter head 20, the user may perform putting practice more efficiently using various hitting faces. - In addition, since the
seating face 32 of the hittingmember 30 is seated on theupper face 23 of theputter head 20, thesupport face 32A is supported on the edge of theupper face 23, and thefastening bolt 40 is fastened to thefastening groove 32B through the throughhole 22, the hittingmember 30 and theputter head 20 are maintained in the strongly coupled state, and thus the hittingmember 30 does not move during putting practice. Further, since thesupport face 32A is supported by theedge 23A of theupper surface 23, it is possible to stably hit the golf ball without movement of the hittingmember 30. - In the accompanying drawings,

hole 720 and thehole cup 600 are aligned with the aiminghole 720 when the slope of the green is 1°, it is determined how far putting should be performed from thehole cup 600 in terms of the number of hole cups. For example, a location spaced away from thehole cup 600 by two hole cups is determined as the putting direction. Subsequently, in the state in which thehole cup 600 is aligned with the aiminghole 720, a virtual position corresponding to the aimingscales 730 corresponding to two aiminghole 720, that is, thehole cup 600, is placed at the center of a virtual horizontal line and the position of the virtual horizontal line coinciding with the aimingscales 730 corresponding to the two aiminghole 720 is set as the putting direction. When the putting direction is determined in this way, the user performs putting in the putting direction of the virtual horizontal line. - In this way, it is possible to precisely set a virtual position to be put, so that accurate putting can be performed.
