Description

  The present invention relates to a golf putter, and more particularly to a golf putter head.

  Conventionally, taking out a golf ball that has been holed in from a cup or picking up a golf ball on the practice green requires bending back and stretching your arm downwards to pick up the golf ball. It was a painful movement for older players. In addition, there are players who are troublesome to bend their hips and pick up a golf ball, even if they are not back and elderly players.

  Therefore, golf putters that can pick up a golf ball while standing without bending down are known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). This golf putter is formed by forming a through hole into which the golf ball can be fitted at the rear part of the putter head, pressing the through hole against the golf ball, and holding the golf ball on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole. The golf ball is picked up while standing.

  By the way, the most important function of the golf putter is the accuracy of accurately hitting the golf ball on the green and putting it in the hole cup. Therefore, as a matter of course, the golf putter is required to increase the stability of the stroke when putting and to improve the directionality of the face surface.

  However, in the golf putter in which the through hole is formed in the putter head described above, the grass on the green is visible to the eyes from the through hole formed in the putter head during the stroke. Stroking the putter in the correct trajectory can lead to inaccuracies that prevent the golf ball from being hit as intended. In other words, in this case, the grass conditions such as the shape and color of the turf are all slightly different at different locations, so this change in the turf state that jumps into the eyes during the stroke was decided before the stroke. There is a problem in that it gives subtle changes to the player's senses and causes a lack of stroke accuracy.

  Further, in the golf putter in which the above-described putter head has a through hole, the inner wall of the through hole holds the outer peripheral portion at a position higher than the center of the golf ball, so that dust and moisture adhere to the golf ball. If it is, the holding force is not sufficient, and in some cases, there is a problem that the golf ball cannot be picked up.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and does not adversely affect the accuracy of the stroke, and can reliably pick up a golf ball while standing even if dust or moisture is attached. An object is to provide a golf putter having a head.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, as one aspect thereof, is a golf putter having a bottomed hole formed in a bottom surface of a putter head having a size that can be inserted into a hole cup, and formed on the bottom surface. The bottomed hole opening surface has a size capable of pressing and sandwiching the diameter portion of the golf ball with the inner wall of the bottomed hole near the opening surface, and the depth of the bottomed hole is The golf ball is longer than the radius of the golf ball.

  In the golf putter according to one aspect of the present invention, a hole for holding the golf ball is formed in the putter head. However, since the hole is not a through hole but a bottomed hole, I can't see the grass. Therefore, the golf putter of one aspect of the present invention does not adversely affect the accuracy of the stroke.

  The opening surface of the bottomed hole has a size that allows the diameter portion of the golf ball to be pressed and clamped by the inner wall of the bottomed hole near the opening surface. Since it is longer than the radius, the golf ball can be reliably held at the diameter portion. Therefore, the golf putter of one embodiment of the present invention can reliably pick up the golf ball while standing even if dust or moisture is attached.

  Further, the putter head has a D-shaped outer shape in plan view, and the opening surface of the bottomed hole is formed in an eyeball shape, and one side of the eyeball shape follows the outer contour curve of the D-shaped shape. The golf ball is sandwiched between the inner wall of the bottomed hole at the center portion of the eyeball-shaped opening surface, and between the golf ball sandwiching sites on the inner wall near the eyeball-shaped opening surface. The distance is slightly smaller than the diameter of the golf ball. Accordingly, the golf ball can be reliably pinched and picked up regardless of the position of the hole in the hole cup. In addition, in the state where the golf ball is sandwiched, a gap for inserting a finger is formed at both ends of the eyeball-shaped opening surface, so that the sandwiched golf ball can be easily removed.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a golf putter having a putter head that does not adversely affect the accuracy of a stroke and can reliably pick up a golf ball while standing even if dust or moisture is attached. Can do.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a golf putter 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of a putter head 2 of the golf putter 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the putter head 2 of the golf putter 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a rear view of the putter head 2 of the golf putter 1 according to the embodiment. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 2.

  The golf putter 1 is a golf putter having a mallet type head shape. As shown in FIG. 1, the golf putter 1 is fixed to the putter head 2, the shaft 3 having one end fixed to the putter head 2, and the other end of the shaft 3. A grip 4. In the following, as shown in FIG. 1, the face surface 11 side (going direction of the golf ball 20) of the putter head 2 is forward, the opposite side is rear, the shaft mounting side of the putter head 2 is up, and the ground The description will be made with the sole side in contact as the bottom, the front side (heel) when the golf putter 1 is held as the left, and the front side (toe) as the right.

  The outer shape of the putter head 2 has a D-shape in plan view. As shown in FIG. 2, a target line 15 composed of three straight lines is provided on the upper surface 12 so as to be perpendicular to the face surface 11. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bottom surface (sole surface) 13 has a holding hole 5 into which the golf ball 20 can be fitted. The size of the putter head 2 is such that the putter head 2 can be inserted with a margin (gap) in the hole cup 30 (see FIG. 6).

  When the player puts, the target line 15 provided on the upper surface is used to determine the direction of the face surface 11 and the stroke trajectory. That is, the target line 15 is formed in order to improve the accuracy of putting, and is a tool that supports the direction and force adjustment of the putting. In the present embodiment, three straight lines perpendicular to the face surface 11 are drawn as the target line 15, but the target line is not limited to this design, and other designs may be used. Of course, the target line 15 having a circular shape, a T-shape, or a rectangular shape may be drawn on the upper surface.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the holding hole 5 is a bottomed hole that is recessed from the bottom surface 13, and the opening surface formed in the bottom surface 13 has a substantially eyeball shape that is long in the left-right direction and short in the front-rear direction. There is no. As a result, the holding hole 5 holds the diameter portion of the golf ball 20 (one end and the other end of the diameter D of the golf ball 20 on the surface of the golf ball 20) between the inner wall support portions 16 and 17 facing in the front-rear direction. And it comes to hold. In the present embodiment, the distance between the inner wall support portions 16 and 17 of the holding hole 5 is formed slightly smaller than the diameter dimension (outer diameter) of the golf ball 20, but the golf ball 20 is slightly on the surface. Therefore, when the golf ball 20 is pressed by the holding hole 5 of the putter head 2, the golf ball is slightly contracted and inserted into the holding hole 5, and is fitted into the holding hole. ing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the holding hole 5 has a height (depth) at which the upper hemisphere of the golf ball 20 is completely fitted. That is, the depth of the holding hole 5 in the vertical direction is longer than the radius of the golf ball 20. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner wall in the vicinity of the opening surface of the holding hole 5 is a plane substantially perpendicular to the opening surface, and the inner wall support portions 16 and 17 on this plane have a diameter of the golf ball 20. The part is sandwiched.

  Since the chamfered portion 18 having a slight width is formed on the periphery of the opening surface of the holding hole 5, the golf ball 20 is guided to the holding hole 5 and smoothly fitted into the holding hole 5. ing.

  Here, the operation of the golf putter 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. When the golf ball 20 enters the hole cup 30, the player first holds the grip 4 of the golf putter 1, puts the putter head 2 into the hole cup 30 as shown in FIG. 6, and holds the holding hole above the golf ball 20. The golf putter 1 is operated so that 5 is located. Next, when the golf ball 20 is pressed by the holding hole 5 of the putter head 2, the golf ball 20 is inserted and held in the holding hole 5, so that the putter head 2 of the golf putter 1 is simply lifted upward in that state. The player can pick up the golf ball 20 with an easy posture without bending down. Then, the player inserts a hand into the holding hole 5 in a state where the golf ball 20 is held, and takes out the golf ball 20 from the holding hole 5. At this time, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a sufficient gap is formed in the left-right direction of the opening surface of the holding hole 5, so that it is easy to insert a finger.
