Description

Golf Swing Practice Aids

The present invention relates to a golf swing practice aid. The present invention is mounted detachably on one side of all the mechanisms for practicing golf, such as golf clubs or practice swing bats, and at each end, particularly at the time of golf swing, Back Swing Top, Impact, And it relates to a golf swing practice aid to inform the exerciser of the time point, such as Follow-Through or Finish.

To make golf more fun and to lower scores, golf balls must be hit exactly at the face of each club, including drivers, woods, and irons. To do this, it is always important to learn a consistent swing position.

When the golf swing is made of rhythmical motion, not only the posture is stabilized but also the trajectory and flying distance of the golf ball at the impact of each club can be secured. Golf swings include Address, Back Swing, Back Swing Top, Down Swing, Impact, Follow-Through, and Finish. Are divided into stages.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0982482 discloses a stable swing practice. The above patented practice bat informs the practitioner by the sound when the notification ball hits the alarm tube at the time of the backswing top position and the finish position. In indoor golf driving ranges, collision sounds are hard to be heard due to noise caused by the practice of other exercisers. In golf swings that require concentration, the impact sound can interfere with your swing practice. In addition, as well as the cost burden of the golf practitioner caused by the additional purchase of the practice bats, the swing and practice of golf clubs and other practice bats have a problem that the feeling of blood fall.

On the other hand, posture is important during golf swing practice. Check the so-called lie angle to check the normal address. In general, the lie angle means the back angle between the line of the shaft of the golf club and the ground when addressed. In general, for wedges with short shaft lengths, the lie angle is large, and for vice versa, the lie angle is small. On the other hand, when the golf club is larger than the normal lie angle based on a specific golf club (for example, when the distance between the golf ball and the toe is greater than the normal distance), the hill portion of the golf club is heard from the ground. If it is smaller than the normal lie angle (for example, when the distance between the golf ball and toe is closer than the normal distance), the toe portion of the golf club will be lifted from the ground. When the heel is heard, the golf ball flies to the right rather than the target direction. Slice or fade pitches. When the toe part is heard, the golf ball will fly to the left of the target. It is a hook or draw pitch. It can be said that it is important to check the lie angle according to one's posture at the address.

The present invention is to enable the sensory swing practice by detecting the vibration in the palm holding the grip when practicing golf swing.

The present invention is to increase the consistency of the golf swing by simply coupling to the end side of the golf swing training mechanism including a golf club.

1 to 3, the main body 11 has a structure in which the inside of the main body 11 is sealed in an empty shape in order to prevent accommodation and detachment of the moving body 12.

1 to 3, the movable body 12 is accommodated inside the main body 11 and provided to be movable by its own weight. It is preferable that it is a spherical shape having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the inside of the main body 11 so that the inside of the main body 11 can move freely.

1 to 3, soundproofing members 14 may be provided at both ends of the main body 11 to reduce collision sounds generated when the moving body 12 collides with the inner wall of the main body 11. The soundproof member 14 may be any material as long as it is a soundproofing material, and may be made of a sponge or silicon.

Referring to FIG. 1, the sensor unit 13 is for detecting a movement according to its own weight of the moving body 12. The first sensor 13a is provided on one side of the inner wall surface of the main body 11. The second sensor 13b is provided on the upper side of the first sensor 13a. When the moving body 12 moves from the lower part of the main body 11 to the upper side and sequentially passes through the first sensor 13a and the second sensor 13b, these sensors detect this and send a detection signal to the controller 21 side. do. The control unit 21 transmits an operation signal to the vibration motor 22 according to the reception of the detection signal. On the contrary, in spite of the detection signal received toward the control unit 21 when the moving body 12 sequentially passes through the second sensor 13b and the first sensor 13a, the control unit 21 is connected to the vibration motor 22. The operation signal may not be sent. The first and

second sensors

13a and 13b may be optical sensors.

Referring to FIG. 2, the third sensor 13c is for detecting the impact when the movable body 12 exerts an impact on the soundproof member 14 provided on the upper side of the main body 11 by its own weight. When the movable body 12 impacts the soundproof member 14 side, the shock is transmitted to the third sensor 13c side. The third sensor 13c transmits the corresponding detection signal to the controller 21 side. The control unit 21 transmits an operation signal to the vibration motor 22. The third sensor 13c may be provided only on the upper side of the main body 11 and may also be provided on the lower side.

1 to 3, the vibration means 20 receives the operation signal of the control unit 21 to vibrate the golf swing training aid (1) according to the present invention. The vibration is transmitted to the palm of the exerciser holding the grip. The vibration means 20 is operated by receiving power from the battery 23 provided on one side, the battery 23 can be charged through the charging port 24 provided on one side of the golf swing training aid (1). have.

3, 4 and 8, since the lie angle display means 40 is additionally provided, it is possible to naturally correct the address posture, thereby allowing the practitioner to sensibly correct the direction in which the golf ball flies.

Example 1 Backswing

The operation of the moving body 12 and the vibration means 20 during the back swing of the exerciser will be described. 1 and 5, the insertion part 32 side portion of the golf swing training aid 1 fixed to the end of the grip during normal backswing is gradually moved upward. When the back swing top is reached, the movable body 12 which has faced the insertion part 32 direction by its own weight sequentially passes through the first sensor 13a and the second sensor 13b. The controller 21 detects signals from the first and

second sensors

13a and 13b and transmits an operation signal to the vibration motor 22. The exerciser can recognize that the vibration of the vibration motor 22 is reached at the position of the current backswing top because it senses the vibration of the exerciser's palm.

2 and 5, when the third sensor 13c is used together with or in place of the first and

second sensors

13a and 13b, when the position of the back swing top is reached, The moving body 12 falls to the soundproof member side located in the upper side. The third sensor 13c detects this. The controller 21 detects a signal from the third sensor 13c and transmits an operation signal to the vibration motor 22. The exerciser can recognize that the vibration of the vibration motor 22 is reached at the position of the current backswing top because it senses the vibration of the exerciser's palm.

Example 2 Impact

The practitioner perceives the vibration as having reached the backswing top and then switches to the downswing.

1 and 6, since the head of the club is directed toward the golf ball placed on the ground, the moving body 12 is lowered by the weight to the insertion part 32 again. The moving body 12 sequentially passes through the second sensor 13b and the first sensor 13a. At this time, even though the control unit 21 receives the signals of the first and

second sensors

13a and 13b, the control unit 21 may not transmit the operation signal to the vibration motor 22. This is because the face of the golf body at impact does not need to generate vibration by hitting the golf ball. This may be a setting by the user. The exerciser can easily check the impact of the swing practice in the state where the golf ball is placed, but it can be difficult to check the impact of the swing practice in the absence of the golf ball. Therefore, during the swing practice in the absence of a golf ball, the control unit 21 may transmit an operation signal to the vibration motor 22. Whether or not the control unit 21 transmits an operation signal to the vibration motor 22 at impact depends on the user's setting.

2 and 6, when the third sensor 13c is used together with or in place of the first and

second sensors

13a and 13b, the lower part of the main body 11 when the impact position is reached. The moving body 12 falls to the soundproof member side located in the side. Referring to FIG. 1, the third sensor 13c is provided only on the upper side of the main body 11. Therefore, the controller 21 does not receive a signal from the third sensor 13c. Therefore, vibration by the third sensor 13c is not generated.

Example 3 Follow Through

The exerciser goes to follow-through after impact. Similar to the backswing.

Referring to Figures 1 and 7, the end of the follow through grip is towards the ground, so the insert 32 is likewise. The moving body 12 sequentially passes through the first sensor 13a and the second sensor 13b by its own weight. The controller 21 detects signals from the first and

second sensors

13a and 13b and transmits an operation signal to the vibration motor 22. Since the exerciser detects the vibration of the vibration motor 22 in the palm of the exerciser, the exerciser can recognize that the finish position has been reached after the current follow-through.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 7, when the third sensor 13c is used together with or in place of the first and

second sensors

13a and 13b, when the finish-through or subsequent position of the finish is reached. The moving body 12 falls to the soundproofing member side located at the upper side of the main body 11. The third sensor 13c detects this. The controller 21 detects a signal from the third sensor 13c and transmits an operation signal to the vibration motor 22. Since the exerciser detects the vibration of the vibration motor 22 in the palm of the exerciser, it can recognize that the current follow-through or finish has been reached.
