Therefore, the golf club head has a function of easily recognizing the impact of the golf ball by visually recognizing the incident angle and the track direction of the head of the golf club (Patent Document 1).
- the bunker shot practice tool described in Patent Document 2 by attaching the wing-shaped swing guide piece 12 to the golf ball, the incident angle and the trajectory direction of the golf club head can be visually determined by the mounting direction and the mounting angle. This makes it possible to recognize the impact of a golf ball easily.
- this bunker shot practice tool Since the wing-like swing guide piece 12 is directly attached to the golf ball and is maintained in the obliquely upward direction, the user can imagine the incident angle and the track direction as the swing guide piece 12 is. And hit the golf ball just before it. As described above, in the conventional bunker shot practice tool, the user has not always been able to easily grasp the tips for bunker shot.
- the bunker shot practice tool described in Patent Document 2 is attached by attaching the wing-shaped swing guide piece 12 to the golf ball, it fails during practice and the golf ball or the swing guide piece 12 is directly hit by the club head. In many cases, the swing guide piece 12 may be bonded and the swing guide piece 12 may come off. Thus, there is a difficulty in using the bunker shot practice tool of Patent Document 1 and the bunker shot practice tool of Patent Document 2.
- the inventor Okumoto Sono the inventor of the present invention, has been focusing on golf guidance for many years and has been focusing on the fact that there are so many trainees who suffer from bunker shots while teaching trainees as golf coaches. I have been studying how to make trainees learn the tips of bunker shots efficiently in a short period of time. Among them, players who are not good at bunker shots have noticed that when they make a bunker shot, they often misunderstood that the club does not touch the sand and must hit the ball directly. Actually, instead of hitting the golf ball directly when making a bunker shot, swing the club to the ideal position determined from the ball, for example, 3-4 cm away from the golf ball. It is necessary to instruct them to fly with the sand.
- the present invention has been made in view of various problems caused by the above-described conventional bunker shot training tool, and an object thereof is to provide a bunker shot training tool that makes it easy to learn the tips of a bunker shot. To do.
- the bunker shot practice tool of the present invention includes a plate face body placed on a bunker, a ball installation portion for placing a golf ball provided on the plate face body, and the plate face body on the plate face body.

- the impact angle guide may be configured to be indicated by a line or a graphic printed on the plate face body or a cut edge in the plate face body.
- the position where the club head should be swung down in a bunker shot i.e., a predetermined distance from the golf ball, just by swinging down the club head while aiming at the impact position guide. It can be accurately guided to the position, and trainees can easily learn the tips for bunker shots.
- the impact angle guide looks flat from the perspective of the trainee, it may seem that the angle guide function is insufficient when swinging down the club.
- the plank body of the bunker shot practice tool of the present invention can be seen diagonally forward when viewed from the position where the trainee holds the club, in fact, the trainee can clearly understand the angle at which the head should be swung down. It has become. That is, if the club head is swung down along the apparent line of the impact angle guide, it is the incident angle of the head when the club head is swung down.
- information indicating strength instructions strong, somewhat strong, slightly weak, weak, etc. instructions, numbers that are strength indicators such as 1 to 5 are displayed on the plate. Show it.
- the plate body it is possible to print at least various information necessary for the bunker shot, such as the approach direction, the trajectory of the golf ball, and the holding direction.
- the basic shape may be a substantially disk shape. This is because it is easy to handle if it is substantially circular, and its shape is compact and convenient for storage. Further, if the plate body is circular, there is an advantage that since the golf club has a uniform shape with no corners or cuts, the impact is easily dispersed everywhere the golf club hits, and there is little risk of breakage or damage of the plate body.
- the plate face does not necessarily have a substantially disc shape.
- the plate body may be a non-circular shape, and the shape thereof may be a shape that makes it easy to grasp the extending direction of a line connecting the ball installation portion from the impact position guide.
- the bunker shot may be practiced in the green direction.
- the material of the plate body is not particularly limited.
- the plate face body can be formed of a flexible plastic sheet material or a cardboard material.
- the bunker shot practice tool of the present invention is launched by the impact of the golf club.
- the flight distance can be suppressed.
- the golf ball is spherical and has a kind of streamline
- the bunker shot practice tool of the present invention is flat, it easily receives the momentum of sand that pops out due to the striking force of the golf club and flies like a golf ball. . Therefore, by providing a hole or a notch for a type of air vent or sand vent, the bunker shot practice tool is devised so as not to fly excessively.
- a configuration in which a notch opening from the impact position guide to the ball installation portion is provided is also possible.
- the notch opening By providing the notch opening, there is an effect that the structure is reduced from the position where the club head is swung down to the golf ball, and the practice of impacting the bunker can be performed in a situation close to an actual bunker shot. In other words, there is no structure between the driving position of the club head and the golf ball, and the visual sensation is close to the sensation of an actual bunker shot as if the golf ball existed in the bunker. It is done.

- FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a configuration of a bunker shot practice tool described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-165768 in the prior art.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the bunker shot practice tool 100 according to the first embodiment.
- the bunker shot practice tool 100 includes a ball setting unit 110, an impact position guide 120, an impact angle guide 130, and a plate face 150.
- a print 160 including various information necessary for practicing bunker shots is further provided on the plate body 150.
- FIG. 2 shows a usage example of the bunker shot practice tool 100 according to the first embodiment, and also shows a golf ball 200.
- the plate body 150 is a plate body placed on a bunker.
- the plate body 150 is a structure that supports the entire bunker shot practice tool 100 of the present invention, and is preferably a flat plate so as not to obstruct the practice of the bunker shot. In this configuration example, it is substantially on a disc, but shapes other than the substantially disc are possible as shown in Example 2 and Example 3 described later.
- the material of the plate body 150 will be described.
- the plate body 150 is preferably provided with a structural strength that is difficult to break and torn, since the club head may collide during bunker shot practice.
- it is assumed that it is formed of a plastic sheet material.
- Some plastic sheet materials are hard and easy to break, but here they are soft and strong in tensile strength, such as vinyl material, polypropylene (PP) material, polyethylene (PE) material, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material. Those that are difficult to tear are preferred.
- the plate body 150 Since it can be sufficiently assumed that the golf ball is hit on the curved surface portion of the bunker, it is necessary to practice the bunker shot assuming the curved surface portion of the bunker. In that case, it is preferable to bend so that the plate body 150 may follow the curved surface part of a bunker. Therefore, if the plate body 150 is formed of a flexible material, the plate body 150 can be deformed along the curved surface of the surface of the bunker on which the bunker shot practice tool 100 of the present invention is placed.
- the plate body 150 is also preferable to form the plate body 150 from a transparent material.
- a transparent material In actual bunker shots, golf balls hit directly on the bunker's sand are shot only with the impact shots of the golf club, so the sense of the underlying sand is more similar to the actual bunker shot. May be obtained. Therefore, if the plate body 150 is formed of a transparent material, when the trainee practice bunker shot using the bunker shot practice tool 100 of the present invention, the ground sand ground can be seen through the plate body 150. There is a possibility that a feeling close to a bunker shot can be obtained.
- the ball installation unit 110 is a portion on which a golf ball provided on the plate surface 150 is placed.
- the ball installation unit 110 is an opening opened in the center of the plate surface 150 and has a circular frame.
- the size of the golf ball is slightly larger than the diameter of the golf ball and fits within the frame.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the bunker shot practice tool 100 of the present invention is used. As shown in FIG. 2A, when using the bunker shot practice tool 100 of the present invention, the golf ball 200 is placed on the ball installation unit 110 and installed.
- the ball installation part 110 is slightly larger than the diameter of the golf ball 200, and the lie state in the bunker can be adjusted.
- FIGS. 2B to 2D the trainee can reproduce the state of the lie of the golf ball to be practiced by adjusting the degree of pushing the golf ball 200 into the sand.
- the impact position guide 120 is disposed at a position on the bunker a predetermined distance before the golf ball provided on a part of the plate face 150, and indicates the position to swing the club head down in the bunker shot. It is a mark of the position to swing down. In this configuration example, the mark is provided at the edge of the plate face 150, and the difference between the diameter D2 of the plate face 150 and the diameter D1 of the ball setting portion 110 is approximately the distance L that the impact position guide 120 should secure. .
- the distance L of the impact position guide is a distance that should be separated from the golf ball 200 in an ideal bunker shot. One of the tips for bunker shots is not to swing down the golf ball 200 and swing down the club head in front of the distance L. By using this impact position guide 120, the golf ball 200 Positions separated by the distance L can be easily grasped.
- the impact angle guide 130 indicates the angle to which the club head swings down in the impact position guide 120, and is, for example, a line or a figure printed on the plate face 150. In the configuration example of FIG. 1, it is shown as diagonal lines drawn on a circular disk. The angle indicated by the oblique lines indicates the angle at which the club head is swung down. The usage and effects of the impact angle guide 130 will be described later.
- the swing guide 140 guides the trajectory of the swing of a golf club head such as a sand wedge. With this swing guide 140, the trainee can easily grasp that it is sufficient to approach the head of the sand wedge toward the impact position 120 along the direction indicated by the swing guide 140, and the impact has occurred at the impact position 120. Thereafter, it can be understood that it is sufficient to follow through the head of the sand wedge along the direction indicated by the swing guide 140.
- printing 160 (number of 160 is not shown) including various information necessary for practicing bunker shots is further applied on the plate body 150.
- information such as approach direction 161, stance 162, eye line 163, and locus 164 of the golf ball is printed. These pieces of information are collectively referred to as printing 160. These prints may vary depending on the type of bunker shot.
- the approach direction 161 indicates the direction in which the golf ball flies.
- the bunker shot practice tool 100 of the present invention may be placed on the bunker so that the green is in this direction. In this example, it is an arrow mark.
- the stance 162 indicates the direction in which the body is turned, the angle of the foot, how to apply the weight, and the like. In this example, it is a footprint. In this example, the number “6” is drawn on the left footprint, and the number “4” is drawn on the right footprint. This is the ratio of the weight applied to the left and right feet. This is a simple illustration and means that you should hang your weight on your left foot. (This is because the club head tends to enter an acute angle in the case of left foot weight.)
- a line of sight 163 indicates a direction in which the face is directed. In this example, it means that the face should be set to face the golf ball according to the position.
- the golf ball trajectory 164 is obtained by swinging the club face down to the position indicated by the impact position guide 120 at the angle indicated by the impact angle guide 130 according to the position specified by the print 160 information, etc. It is a simple indication of how high and how far to fly. In this example, a parabola as shown in the locus 164 of the golf ball is drawn to reach the green.
- FIG. 3 simply shows the correction effect of a bunker shot using the bunker shot practice tool 100 of the present invention.
- the bunker shot practice tool 100 and the golf ball 200 of the present invention are actually viewed from the trainee's perspective. It shows how it was seen.

It can be easily grasped sensuously that the sand wedge should be swung down toward the impact position along the direction indicated by the swing guide 140, and after the impact, the sand wedge is aligned along the direction indicated by the swing guide 140. It is easy to understand sensuously what should be done by following through. Here, it can be grasped that the sand wedge should be swung in a slightly oblique direction instead of the approach direction 161 which is the direction of the green in which the golf ball is to fly.
- the impact position guide 120 allows the position of the sand wedge head to be swung down to easily grasp the position to be impacted.
- the sand wedge should be swung down to a position slightly apart from the position just below the golf ball 200.
- the impact angle guide 130 makes it possible to easily and intuitively grasp the angle of the sand wedge head at the moment of impact.
- the impact should be made with a slight angle on the sand wedge face, instead of impacting at right angles to the approach direction 161.

Abstract
Description
しかし、単にバンカーを簡易に再現したものであり、その再現されたバンカーにおいてゴルフボールを据え置いてひたすら打ち込んで練習するものであった。そのため、利用者は、一体どのようにバンカーショットを打つべきなのかというコツの伝授を受けられるものではなく、ともすれば我流のクセを身に着けてしまうだけになり、かえって練習にはならないケースも多いと考えられる。
このように従来技術におけるバンカーショット練習具では、利用者が必ずしもバンカーショットのコツを容易につかめるものとはなっていなかった。
このように、特許文献1のバンカーショット練習具も、特許文献2のバンカーショット練習具も利用するには難点があった。
実際には、バンカーショットをする際にゴルフボールに直接当てるのではなく、ボールから定められた理想の位置、例えば3~4cm程離れた手前の位置にクラブを振りおろし、ゴルフボールとその手前の砂ごと飛ばすように指導する必要がある。本来ゴルファーの多くは、いわゆるダフったりトップしたりする事をミスショットと考えてしまう傾向が強い。しかし、バンカーショットに限っては一見ミスショットと思えるような「ゴルフボールとその手前の砂ごと飛ばすダフったショット」をすることがコツであることが理解できないとバンカーに入ったボールの脱出は不可能に近いと思われる。また、その他にも、バンカーショットでは、インパクトの際のヘッドを入れ、降りてくる入射角度とそのフェイスの開き加減とスイングの大きさ、力加減に応じてボールの打ち上がる高さと距離、スピン量などが決まるということをバンカーショットの練習を通じて学習しなければならない。
なお、インパクトアングルガイドは、前記板面体上に印刷された線または図形または、板面体における断ち切り縁にて指し示す構成であっても良い。
なお、ヘッドの振り下ろし加減に関しては、強弱の指示を示す情報(強く、やや強く、やや弱く、弱くなどの指示や、1~5などの強さの指標となる数字など)を板面体上に示しておけば良い。
同様に、板面体において、少なくとも、アプローチ方向、前記ゴルフボールの軌跡、構える方向などバンカーショットに必要な諸情報を印刷しておくことも可能である。
基本形は、略円板状で良い。略円形であれば扱いに簡単であり、形がコンパクトであり収納にも便利だからである。
また、板面体が円形であれば、角や切れ込みがなく均等な形状をしているためゴルフクラブがどこにあたっても衝撃が分散されやすく板面体の破断や損傷が生じるおそれが少ないという利点がある。
なお、板面体はかならずしも略円板状でなくとも良い。例えば、板面体が非円形であり、その形状が前記インパクトポジションガイドから前記ボール設置部を結ぶ線の延長方向が把握しやすい形状とすることもできる。このような形状であれば、バンカーショットの練習時にゴルフボールを飛ばすべき方向を容易に把握することができる。例えば、グリーンの方向に向けておき、バンカーショットの練習を行えばよい。
板面体の素材は特に限定されない。一例としては、板面体を可撓性あるプラスチックシート素材で形成したり、厚紙素材で形成したりすることができる。
なお、板面体を透明素材により形成することも好ましい。バンカー上に載せ置いた場合に、バンカーが透けて見えるのでバンカーを意識することもでき、バンカーショットの練習時においても実戦に近い感覚を得ることができるからである。
切り欠き開口部を設けることにより、クラブヘッドの振り下ろす位置からゴルフボールまでに構造物が少なくなり、実際のバンカーショットに近い状況でバンカーをインパクトする練習を行うことができるという効果がある。つまり、クラブヘッドの打ち込み位置からゴルフボールまでの間には構造物がなくなり、目視した感覚が、あたかもバンカーの中にゴルフボールが存在するという実際のバンカーショットに近い感覚と近くなるという効果が得られる。
図1は、本実施例1にかかるバンカーショット練習具100を示す図である。
バンカーショット練習具100は、ボール設置部110、インパクトポジションガイド120、インパクトアングルガイド130、板面体150を備えた構成となっている。この構成例ではさらに板面体150上にはバンカーショットの練習に必要な様々な諸情報を含む印刷160が施されている。
図2は本実施例1にかかるバンカーショット練習具100の使用例を示しており、ゴルフボール200も併せて示した図となっている。
板面体150は、バンカーの上に載せ置く板面体である。板面体150は、本発明のバンカーショット練習具100全体を支える構造物となるものであり、バンカーショットの練習の邪魔にならないように平板状のものが好ましい。
この構成例では略円板上であるが、後述する実施例2や実施例3などに示すように、略円板以外の形状も可能である。
なお、板面体150を可撓性ある素材で形成することも好ましい。バンカーは窪地状であるため、平面部分もあれば曲面部分もある。ゴルフボールを打ち込んだ場所がバンカーの曲面部分である場合も十分想定できるため、バンカーショットの練習もバンカーの曲面部分を想定して行う必要がある。その際、板面体150がバンカーの曲面部分に沿うように曲がることが好ましい。そこで、板面体150を可撓性ある素材で形成しておけば、本発明のバンカーショット練習具100を載せ置いたバンカーの表面の曲面に沿うように板面体150が変形することができる。
図2は、本発明のバンカーショット練習具100を使用する様子を示す図である。図2(a)に示すように、本発明のバンカーショット練習具100の使用時には、ゴルフボール200をボール設置部110の上に載せ置いて設置する。
なお、ボール設置部110はゴルフボール200の直径よりも若干大きく、バンカーにおけるライの状態を調整することができる。図2(b)はゴルフボール200がバンカーの表面にのった通常のライの状態を再現したものである。図2(c)はゴルフボール200がバンカーの砂の中に少し埋まったライの状態を再現したものである。図2(d)はゴルフボール200がバンカーの砂の中に深く埋まったいわゆる"目玉状態"になったライの状態を再現したものである。図2(b)から(d)に示すように、練習生は自らゴルフボール200の砂への押し込み具合を調整することにより、練習したいゴルフボールのライの状態を再現することができる。
目線163は、顔を向ける方向を示している。この例では構えに従って顔をゴルフボールに正対させるように構えれば良いことを意味している。
図3は、本発明のバンカーショット練習具100を用いたバンカーショットの矯正効果を簡単に示すものであり、練習生の目線にて、実際に本発明のバンカーショット練習具100およびゴルフボール200を見た様子を示している。
練習生がバンカーショットの練習を行う際、バンカー上にゴルフボール200および本発明のバンカーショット練習具100を載せ置き、適切な立ち位置において構えると、図3に示すように、ゴルフボール200および本発明のバンカーショット練習具100を斜め前方に見ることとなる。図3に示したように、練習生は容易にバンカーショットにおいて気をつけるべきポイントに関する情報を把握することができる。
次に、インパクトアングルガイド130によって、インパクトする瞬間のサンドウェッジのヘッドの角度を感覚的に容易に把握できる。ここで、アプローチ方向161に直角にインパクトするのではなく、サンドウェッジフェイスにやや角度を付けてインパクトすべきであることが把握できる。
まず、アプローチ方向161により、グリーンがどの方向にあるのかが感覚的に容易に把握できる。
次に、構え162により、体を向ける方向、足の角度、体重の掛け方などが感覚的に容易に把握できる。
次に、目線163により、顔の向きやなどが感覚的に容易に把握できる。
次に、ゴルフボールの軌跡164により、これらの諸条件が満たされたバンカーショットを行うことにより、ゴルフボールがどのような高さに打ちあがり、どのような距離を飛ぶのかというゴルフボールが描く放物線の軌跡が感覚的に容易に把握できる。
図4は、実施例2にかかるバンカーショット練習具100aを示す図である。ここでは、実施例1にかかる図1に示したバンカーショット練習具100の各構成と同様のものについては説明を省略し、実施例1とは異なる点を中心に説明する。
図4に示すように、バンカーショット練習具100aは、ボール設置部110a、インパクトポジションガイド120a、インパクトアングルガイド130a、スイングガイド140a、板面体150aを備えた構成となっている。
練習生がバンカーショットの練習を行う際、バンカー上にゴルフボール200および本発明のバンカーショット練習具100aを載せ置き、適切な立ち位置において構えると、図5に示すように、ゴルフボール200および本発明のバンカーショット練習具100aを斜め前方に見ることとなる。図5に示したように、練習生は容易にバンカーショットにおいて気をつけるべきポイントに関する情報を把握することができる。
図6は、本実施例3にかかるバンカーショット練習具100bを示す図である。ここでは、実施例1にかかる図1に示したバンカーショット練習具100の各構成と同様のものについては説明を省略し、実施例1とは異なる点を中心に説明する。
この構成例では、図6に示すように、板面体150bには、空気抜き用または砂抜き用の孔部151bが設けられている。空気抜き用または砂抜き用の孔部151bの数や形状は特に限定されないが、この構成例では、空気抜き用または砂抜き用の孔部151bは、円形の孔として4つ設けられている。
図7は、本実施例4にかかるバンカーショット練習具100cを示す図である。ここでは、実施例1にかかる図1に示したバンカーショット練習具100の各構成と同様のものについては説明を省略し、実施例1とは異なる点を中心に説明する。
この構成例では、図7に示すように、板面体150cには、インパクトポジションガイド120cからボール設置部110cへ至る切り欠き開口部152cが設けられている。
また、この構成例では、インパクトポジションガイド120cは、切り欠き開口部152cのエッジの最外周の2点に設けられており、それらを結んだ領域一体がインパクトすべき箇所と把握できるものとなっている。
また、この構成例では、インパクトアングルガイド130cは、板面体150cの盤面上に印刷された斜線となっており、練習生にはクラブヘッドを振り下ろす角度を明確に認識することができるものとなっている。
ここでは、実施例1にかかる図1に示したバンカーショット練習具100の各構成と同様のものについては説明を省略し、実施例1とは異なる点を中心に説明する。
図9は、本実施例5にかかる別の形状のバンカーショット練習具100eを示す図である。
図10は、本実施例5にかかる、さらに別の形状のバンカーショット練習具100fを示す図である。
図11(a)は、Aタイプ(飛距離が比較的大きく、飛行高さが比較的低いタイプ)のバンカーショット練習具100を示しており、図11(b)は、Bタイプ(飛距離が比較的中ぐらい、飛行高さが比較的中ぐらい)のバンカーショット練習具100を示している。また、図12は、Cタイプ(飛距離が比較的小さく、飛行高さが比較的高い)のバンカーショット練習具100を示している。
このように、タイプの異なる数種類のバンカーショット練習具100を揃えれば、様々なタイプのバンカーショットが練習できることが理解されよう。
