Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a golf swing trainer, and more particularly to a golf swing trainer suitable for practice of fixing the position of the head during a swing.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Generally, golf swing trainers are made of an elastic body such as rubber and have a base mat having an artificial grass-like practice mat (iron mat) on the surface thereof, and are roughly classified into a ball returning type and a rotating type.

In the return-ball type, a rubber tee is provided on a base mat or practice mat, and it is intended to master a swing by placing a practice ball with a string on it and hitting the ball. There is.

On the other hand, in the rotary type, a practice ball is attached to the tip of a lever that rotates about a substantially vertical axis of rotation, or a string or a string is attached to the tip of a substantially horizontal fixed arm. For example, some practice balls are hung from a lever. In any case, the practice ball is set at the height of the pseudo tee-up position on the practice mat to prepare for a hit.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The practitioner tries to correct the swing by actually hitting the ball while checking various points against the practice ball, for example, checking the address position, stance, takeback and top height. One of the basic check items of the above is to fix the head so as not to perform head-up.

The address position and the take-back are in a category that is easy to check consciously, but the positional deviation of the head including the head-up is unintentionally likely to occur, and it is difficult to correct. There wasn't.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional circumstances, and its structural feature is that it has a base placed on the side edge of the base mat, and the base has at least a mirror surface on which the face of the practitioner is projected. The body is in place.

In this case, it is preferable that the mirror surface body is movable along the flight line direction, and the mirror surface body is rotatable about a horizontal rotation axis that is substantially parallel to the flight line direction.

Further, it is preferable that the central portion of the mirror surface body is a substantially flat mirror surface, and the periphery thereof is a convex mirror for the practitioner.

[0010]

[Action]

 In the above configuration, the practitioner adjusts the address position or the position or angle of the mirror body so that his / her face is reflected on the mirror body at the address when swinging, and a series of steps from takeback to downswing and shot is performed. During the movement, if you try to make your face look like a specular body, the movement of your head will be corrected and the axis from your head to your spine will be fixed.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. According to this, this golf swing training device includes the base mat 1 made of an elastic body such as rubber.

In this embodiment, an artificial grass-like practice mat (iron mat) 2 is provided on the base mat 1. The practice mat 2 is provided with a guide line 2a used as an index in the direction of the flight line with respect to the target object.

The practice ball 3 is held on the practice mat 2 by the ball holding means 4 at a predetermined height position (pseudo tee-up position). In this example, the ball holding means 4 is a rotary type.

That is, the ball holding means 4 has a base 5 formed in a trapezoidal shape that inclines toward the front side on which the practitioner stands, and a rotating shaft 6 stands on the top 5 a of the base 5. It has been set up. In this example, the rotating shaft 6 is inclined toward the front side at a predetermined angle, and the practice ball 3 is attached to the tip of a lever 7 which rotates about the rotating shaft 6 as a base shaft.

Therefore, even if the practice ball 3 is struck, the practice ball 3 rotates about the rotation axis 6 and returns to the pseudo tee-up position on the practice mat 2 by its own weight.

The base 5 is provided with a mirror body 10 that reflects the face of the practitioner. In this embodiment, the mirror surface body 10 has a flat surface 10a in the center thereof, and a conical surface 10b which is a convex mirror for a practitioner is formed around the flat surface 10a, and has a truncated cone shape as a whole. ..

Further, according to this example, the mirror-finished body 10 is movable along the flight ball line (the guide line 2a of the practice mat 2) and has a horizontal axis of rotation substantially parallel to the flight ball line direction. It is rotatable around the center.

For this purpose, the holding arm 11 is used. The holding arm 11 is made of a strip having a predetermined width, and a connecting piece 11a bent at a right angle is provided at one end of the holding arm 11, and a screw insertion hole 13 is formed in the connecting piece 11a.

On the back surface side of the mirror body 10, there is provided an engaging frame 15 which is slidably engaged with the holding arm 11 and has a substantially U-shape.

On the other hand, a flange piece 5b having a female screw hole 12 formed in the horizontal direction is formed on the side of the base 5, and the female screw hole 12 and the screw insertion hole 13 are formed. Then, the thumbscrew 14 is screwed into the female screw hole 12 through the screw insertion hole 13 and tightened so that the holding arm 11 extends substantially parallel to the flight line direction. It is attached to the base 5 so that the angle can be adjusted.

That is, the mirror body 10 is movable in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 2 along the holding arm 11, and by loosening the thumbscrew 14 and rotating the holding arm 11 about the screw 14. The angle can be freely adjusted in the direction of arrow B in the figure. The mirror body 10 may be attached to the holding arm 11 via a surface fastener or the like so as to be positionally adjustable.

Therefore, at the time of addressing, by adjusting the mirror body 10 so that its own face is reflected on the flat surface 10a of the mirror body 10, and by swinging the face so as not to move from the flat surface 10a, It is possible to correct head misalignment including head-up.

In this case, since the conical surface 10b serving as a convex mirror is formed around the flat surface 10a, the deviation from the flat surface 10a can be clearly recognized.

In this embodiment, when the pseudo tee-up position is used as a reference, the swing index body 16 having a predetermined height is provided on the front follow-through side (left side of the practice ball 3 in FIG. 1). It is provided.

Here, a half-moon tee is used as the swing index body 16, and the half-moon tee 16 is arranged about 30 cm forward from the pseudo tee-up position of the practice ball 3.

When hitting the practice ball 3, it is possible to practice a straight type swing by swinging as if to hit the half-moon tee 16 in front of the practice ball 3.

On the other hand, when practicing a draw swing, it suffices to strike the right side of the half-moon tee 16 and swing with its orbit slightly inside-out.

Further, when practicing a fade type swing, it suffices to swing the track slightly outside like an inward movement so that the left side of the half-moon tee 16 is hit.

The ball holding means 4 may be of a type in which a practice ball is hung from a tip of a substantially horizontal fixed arm via a string or a lever, unlike the above-mentioned embodiment. In some cases, a return ball type rubber tee may be used.

When using a rubber tee, the base 5 is used only for mounting the mirror body 10, and any side edge position of the base mat 1 can be used depending on the practice of a driver shot or an iron shot. Will be placed in.

In addition, especially when the iron shot is not performed, the practice mat 2 may be omitted. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the frustoconical shape is used as the mirror surface body 10, but the flat surface 10a may be used.

In addition, the base 5 and the holding arm 11 may be integrated, and in this case, the tilt of the base 5 itself may be changed in order to adjust the angle of the mirror body 10. ..

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to correct head misalignment including head-up by swinging so that the person's face is reflected in the specular body, and there is no blurring. You can get an accurate swing.
