Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] Adds weight to the grip for a golf club and imparts rigidity in the direction of deflection. [Structure] A thin metal wire is vertically embedded parallel to the grip between the grip thickness layers or the innermost layer to increase weight and impart rigidity at the same time.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improved grip for a golf club, and more particularly to a heavier grip than conventional grips.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Swing balance is one of the important factors that show the performance of a golf club. Even for clubs with the same weight, different swing balances make the clubs easier to swing. On the other hand, hard hitters such as strong golfers and professional golfers prefer a golf club with a large head weight in order to increase the flight distance and to stabilize the trajectory of the ball during a swing. However, when changing to a larger size, for example, it is not enough to mount a head with a large weight. That is, the weight of the grip plays an extremely important role in increasing the head weight without changing the swing balance of the golf club. When wearing a heavy head and trying to match the same swing balance as a conventional club, you can make the swing balance the same as a conventional club by increasing the weight of the grip. Therefore, professional golfers and the like adjust the balance by sticking a lead plate to the shaft under the grip when increasing the weight of the head. Another simple balancing method is to put a metal weight on the top of the grip.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In a golf club with a heavy head, the shaft of the grip part is easily bent when hitting the ball, and the stability of the ball trajectory in the direction is deteriorated.Therefore, it was necessary to give the grip part rigidity. If we tried to give it rigidity, the shaft diameter would become thicker, making it difficult to grip. Besides, it was not possible to add too much weight to the method of putting a heavy object on the top part of the grip. Therefore, in the present invention, when the swing balance of a golf club with a heavy head is adjusted by the grip, it is possible to add weight and to change the feeling when grasping the grip, which cannot be solved by the conventional grip. The purpose is to provide a grip that also provides rigidity in the bending direction.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the grip for a golf club is characterized in that a metal wire is embedded in the innermost layer or between layers of the grip for the golf club in parallel to the grip axis and in the length direction. The metal wire to be embedded is a thin wire made of metal such as stainless steel or iron.The grip of the present invention determines the weight of the thin wire according to the weight of the entire grip, and the thin wire has an appropriate diameter, length, and It is buried between the grip layers or the innermost layer at the embedding interval.

[0005]

[Action]

 As described above, according to the present invention, by embedding a metal wire having a relatively large specific gravity such as stainless steel or iron between the grip layers or the innermost layer, the feel when gripping the grip is the same as that of the conventional one. Since it can be made heavier, it can be incorporated as an element for adjusting the swing balance when the head weight is increased. Further, since the metal wire is used in the form of a thin wire and is embedded in parallel with the axial center of the grip and only in the length direction, rigidity in the bending direction can be imparted.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are explanatory views of an embodiment of the present invention. That is, when molding the golf club grip 1 of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or the like, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a metal wire having a diameter of about 100 μm, for example, a thin stainless wire 3 of 0.3 to 1. It was formed by arranging with a pitch of 0 mm from the grip top 4 to the intermediate position in the longitudinal direction in parallel with the grip axis. The finished grip weighed about 5 g more than the grip without the metal wire. It is effective to embed the metal wire only in the longitudinal direction of the grip, as in the above-mentioned embodiment, to impart rigidity in the bending direction. It is preferable to bury it in the innermost layer in addition to the grip thickness layer, and if you want to bury it in a large amount, it is preferable to bury it too close to the surface layer because the metal wire will appear during the polishing finish of the grip. Absent. The length and diameter to be buried are adjusted according to the set weight.

[0007]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the metal having a relatively large specific gravity, such as stainless steel and iron, is formed into a thin wire and is embedded in the grip layer, so that the hardness of the grip is not changed, and accordingly, the grip when the grip is gripped is not changed. -It is possible to add weight to the grip without changing the ring, which can be incorporated as an element when adjusting the swing balance when the head weight is large. In addition, since the metal wire is embedded only in the vertical direction parallel to the grip axis, the rigidity in the deflection direction can be increased, and even if the club has a heavy head, the shaft of the ball can be prevented from deflecting because the shaft of the grip is prevented from bending. Sex is stable.
