Description

  The present invention relates to a golf club grip and a golf club using the same, which can prevent the movement (displacement) of both hands by fixing the thumbs of both hands and can improve the accuracy of the direction of the hit ball. is there.

  As for the grip of the golf club, the one described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-111374 (Patent Document 1) has been proposed which prevents the movement (displacement) of the hand.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-111374

  However, in the conventional grip disclosed in Patent Document 1 or the like, the left thumb inserted into the base is inserted up to the first joint, so the left thumb is fixed, but the right thumb inserted into the pointing unit. Was not fixed. This is because the pointing unit is merely for indicating the correct direction (correct grip position) of the grasped finger, and the right thumb cannot be fixed by restricting the movement of the joint of the right thumb. It was. Therefore, there is a problem that the thumbs of both hands cannot be fixed to prevent the movement (displacement) of both hands and the accuracy of the direction of the hit ball cannot be increased.

  Therefore, the present invention can fix the thumbs of both the left and right hands holding the grip in order to solve the above problems, thereby preventing the movement of both hands and significantly increasing the accuracy of the directionality of the hit ball. An object of the present invention is to provide a golf club grip and a golf club using the same.

  In order to achieve the above object, the grip of the golf club according to claim 1 of the present invention is fixed by inserting at least the first joint portion of the thumb of the hand that first grips the grip into the grip. A first base and a second base which is substantially the tip of the first base and is inserted and fixed to at least the first joint portion of the thumb of the hand next gripping the grip. It is characterized in that a restricting portion provided rearward from the base end of the second base portion is provided integrally.

  Here, the “first gripping hand” is a left hand for a right-handed person and a right hand for a left-handed person. Also, in the “next hand to grip”, a right-handed person is a right hand, and a left-handed person is a left hand. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the description is based on the case of a right-handed person. However, in the case of a left-handed person, the left and right may be reversed. Further, the materials of the grip, the first base portion, and the second base portion, and the method of integrally providing them are not limited to those in the embodiment.

  Further, the depth of the thumb insertion portion of the first base portion and the second base portion is not limited so long as it can be inserted at least up to the first joint portion of the thumb, but is deep enough to insert up to the second joint portion. May be. The restricting portion is preferably a hook-shaped one that covers at least the second joint of the thumb of the hand to be gripped next and fixes the vicinity of the second joint to swing in the hitting direction. The roof portion may be eliminated and only the side wall may be used, or other shapes may be used.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to provide three types of sizes, such as large, medium, and small, for the size of the diameter of the thumb insertion portion of the first base and the second base and the distance between both bases according to the size of the hand. . However, one or both of the first base portion and the second base portion may be formed with a notch in the upper surface portion so as to correspond to the size of the thumb of the user's hand.

  In addition, in the embodiment, the direction of the thumb inserted into the first base is provided to be parallel to the grip axial direction, but the direction of the thumb inserted into the second base is used for the putter. In the case of being used, it is preferable to be provided so as to be parallel to the first base as in the embodiment, and when used in a club other than the putter, it is provided so as to have a slightly inclined angle. preferable.

  In addition, the said grip can be used as a practice tool for customizing the right grip of both hands independently and the correct swing in which both hands do not move during the swing. In that case, the grip itself is made of a material having a large specific gravity so as to be substantially equal to the weight of the entire club, or the grip itself is made heavy, or a weight is integrally provided at the tip of the grip. It is preferable to take.

  A golf club according to a second aspect is a golf club using the grip according to the first aspect. Golf clubs can be used for all clubs other than putters, including putters.

  According to the grip of the golf club of claim 1, by using this as a practice tool, the first base portion to which at least the first joint portion of the thumb of the hand first gripping the grip is inserted and fixed is used. And a second base that is inserted and fixed to at least the first joint part of the thumb of the hand that grips the grip next, and a restricting part that is provided rearward from the base end of the second base. Since the thumbs of both hands holding the grip are fixed, the movement (displacement) of both hands during the swing can be prevented, thereby improving the accuracy of the directionality of the hitting ball. Can learn a swing that can. In particular, the restricting part provided backward from the base end of the second base part restricts the vicinity of the second joint from swinging in the direction of hitting the ball, so that the thumbs of both hands are fixed and the movement of the wrist is restricted. Thus, the accuracy of putting is improved dramatically. Furthermore, it is possible to hold the grip by superimposing the left and right thumbs in a straight line in the up-down state.

  According to the golf club of the second aspect, since it is possible to provide a golf club having the effect obtained by the grip of the first aspect, it is possible to remarkably improve the accuracy of the directionality of the hit ball such as putting and shot.

  In other words, in the grip of a golf club, the present invention provides a first base portion in which at least the first joint portion of the thumb of the first gripping hand among the thumbs of both hands gripping the grip portion is inserted and fixed. And a second base portion that is inserted and fixed to at least the first joint portion of the thumb of the hand to be gripped next, and a restriction portion that is provided rearward (front side) from the base end of the second base portion. , Which is provided integrally with the grip.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. This is based on claim 1.

  In the grip 1 of this golf club, a first base 3 into which a thumb of a left hand to be gripped first (by a right-handed person) is inserted and a thumb of a right hand to be gripped next are inserted into a grip part 2 to be gripped by a hand. The second base portion 4 and the restricting portion 5 provided toward the rear (left side in front of FIG. 1) from the base end of the second base portion 4 are integrally formed.

  The grip portion 2 may be hollow as shown in FIG. 2 or may be a rod-like integral member having no hollow portion. A synthetic resin similar to the grip of a normal golf club is integrally molded as a material.

  The first base portion 3 is a substantially pipe-shaped member having an insertion portion 3a into which the thumb of the left hand to be gripped first is inserted, and is provided integrally with the grip portion. The insertion portion 3a is provided in a size corresponding to the size of the human thumb, and the axial length (depth) is provided so that it is inserted deeper than at least the first joint portion of the thumb. It has been.

  The second base portion 4 is a substantially pipe-shaped member having an insertion portion 4 a into which the thumb of the right hand to be gripped next is inserted, and is provided integrally with the grip portion 2 like the first base portion 3. The size of the insertion portion 4a and the length in the axial direction are also provided in the same manner as the insertion portion 3a of the first base portion 3.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the positional relationship between the first base 3 and the second base 4 is such that the right thumb is inserted so as to correspond to the thumbs of both hands when the grip is correctly gripped. The base is provided slightly closer to the tip than the first base 3, but the design is changed as appropriate.

  The first base portion 3 and the second base portion 4 may be provided integrally with the grip portion by integral molding, but the first base portion 3 and the second base portion 4 are formed separately, and each of the grip portions 2 is formed. They may be integrally provided by welding or bonding with an adhesive or the like. In addition, it may be integrally provided by screwing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (A), the insertion portions 3a and 4a for inserting the thumb provided on the first base portion 3 and the second base portion 4 cover the entire circumference of the thumb and crown the thumb.
