Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a golf ball used for playing golf, and more particularly to a golf ball which is effective in improving the putt score and which is good in determining the direction of a putter and the direction of its stroke.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 It is said that about half of golf scores are putts. Therefore, reducing the number of putts in golf play will greatly improve the golf score. In the past, the score was improved only by increasing the intuition of the golf player and the number of times of practice. Also, most of the practice in the practice area is done by wood or iron, and practice of putts is not often practiced. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the putt which hits the ball 4 with the putter 6 and puts the ball 4 into the hole 2. The basis of putting is when the hole 2 is on a flat green that is not inclined. In this case, the phantom line 12 that connects the center of the hole 2 and the center of the ball 4 is the put line, and the putter 6 It is necessary to hit the ball 4 by making the surface in contact with the ball, that is, the pattern face 14 perpendicular to the imaginary line 12 and stroking the putter 16 straight in the direction of the imaginary line 12. That is, it is necessary to make the virtual line 8 orthogonal to the virtual line 12 and the face 14 of the putter 16 parallel to each other, and push the putter face 14 straight in the direction of the virtual line 12 to hit the golf ball 4. There is. If the green is slanted or the grass is strong in a certain direction, do not draw the virtual line 12 straight from the ball 4 toward the hole 2 and correct the virtual line 12 accordingly. And set it, and perform the pad in the same way. However, under the present circumstances, the orientation of the putter face 14 of the putter 6 and the stroke direction thereof must be considered by the player.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Even though it is known that the improvement of the score depends on the putt as described above, the score is not improved because there is actually no opportunity to practice. At the driving range, it is more fun and more interesting to hit with a ball iron or wood. Therefore, how to practice putting efficiently with a little practice time and to improve the accuracy of the pattern on the actual course are major issues. However, when observing that the amateur golfer actually hits the putt, the relationship between the hole and the surface of the putter that contacts the ball is often uncertain, and most of the putt's failures are small. It can be said that this is the point. It is considered that this is because the direction of the putter face 14 and the direction of the stroke thereof are visually determined, so that the putter face 14 is likely to be out of order. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a golf ball which solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and in particular, it is easy to determine a hitting direction and a putter face direction when putting.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 That is, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, in a golf ball having a spherical shape as a whole, the golf ball is orthogonal to the surface of the ball along a circumferential line centered on the center point of the ball. A golf ball having at least a pair of lines. In this case, the lines may be provided on opposite sides of the surface of the ball across a part of the entire circumference of the ball, in which case one pair of lines will It may be formed with an angle shift of 45 °. Of course, the line may be a pair of lines provided all around the ball.

[0005]

[Action]

 By providing a line on the ball as described above, it is possible to easily determine the most important direction of hitting the ball and the direction of the putter face during putting. That is, if the golf ball is placed in the direction in which one of the lines is hit, the direction in which the putter is stroked to hit the golf ball can be determined without error. The orientation of the putter face can also be easily determined by making the orientation of the putter face of the putter parallel to the other line orthogonal to the line that determines the striking direction. In this way, the putter face and its stroke direction can be determined with reference to the line provided on the surface of the golf ball, unlike the conventional method of simply determining the face angle and stroke direction of the putter. , Anyone can easily make an accurate putt.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a pair of orthogonal lines is provided on each of the opposing surfaces with the center of the golf ball in between. Lines 16a and 16b shown by solid lines are orthogonal lines provided on the upper surface in FIG. 1, and lines 18a and 18b shown by dotted lines are orthogonal lines provided on the lower surface. And as is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, these lines 16a, 16b, 18a, 18b are not provided around the entire circumference of the ball 4, and the entire circumference of the ball, ie in the case of the figure, Is provided over about a half of the entire circumference of. Further, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, in the case of this embodiment, the orthogonal lines 16a and 16b on the upper surface and the straight lines 18a and 18b on the lower surface are shifted by 45 ° around the line connecting these intersections. Are provided. FIG. 3 is a view seen from the opposite side of FIG.

When putting using such a golf ball, the ball 4 is placed on the green as shown in FIG. 1, and the extension line of the line 16b is changed to the phantom line 8 shown in FIG. To match. That is, the virtual line 8 and the face 14 of the putter 6 are kept parallel to each other. At this time, since the ball 4 has the reference line 16b, the virtual line 8 can be easily imaged and the orientation of the putter face 14 can be easily controlled. Further, the other line 16a orthogonal to the line 16b is aligned with the imaginary line 12 shown in FIG. 4, that is, the putt line, and the face 14 of the putter 16 is stroked in the direction of this line 16b to putt. Also at this time, since the ball 4 has the reference line 16a, the putt line can be easily imaged, and thus the stroke direction of the putter 16 can be easily controlled. As described above, when the hole 2 is on a flat green surface which is not inclined, the put line is on the virtual line 12 which is a straight line connecting the center of the hole 2 and the center of the ball 4. However, if the green is slanted or the grass is strong in a certain direction, the imaginary line 12 is not drawn straight from the center of the ball 4 to the center of the hole 2, but the imaginary line 12 is slightly modified accordingly. And set, and putt in the same manner.

When the ball is placed on the green as shown in FIG. 2, a line pattern different from that shown in FIG. 1 or 3 appears. In this case, the line 16a is aligned with the phantom line 12 of FIG. Further, the putter face 14 and the lines 18a and 18b are fitted to the putter face 14 so that the angles are equal to each other, that is, 45 °. Strike so that the ball 14 hits. By doing so, the direction of the putter face 14 and the direction of its stroke become accurate, and the putter face 14 can be accurately applied to the center of the surface of the ball 4 to hit it. In this way, the visual pattern changes depending on the length of the orthogonal lines and the way the opposing orthogonal lines are displaced, so that the putter can be used by making good use of these. The lines 16a and 16b or the lines 18a and 18b may be provided in different colors, or the upper surface and the lower surface may be provided in different colors. Then, when the ball 4 is placed as shown in FIG. 2, the colors of the lines 16a, 18a, 18b are different from each other, so that it is easy to identify and putt easily.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the lines 20a and 20b are provided all around the ball. The lines 20a and 20b are orthogonal to each other, and the straight line connecting these two intersections passes through the center of the golf ball. This golf ball is also used in the same manner as in the above embodiment, the ball 4 is placed on the green as shown in FIG. 5, and the extension line of the line 20b is aligned with the imaginary line 8 shown in FIG. Orient the putter face 14 at a right angle to the imaginary line 12 that is the putt line. Also, the other line 20a is aligned with the imaginary line 12 shown in FIG. 4, and the face 14 of the putter 16 is stroked in the direction of this line 20b to putt.

FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment of the present invention, but one line 20a is not provided over the entire circumference of the ball 4, but is provided on a part of the circumference. Although not shown, a line having the same length as the line 20a is also provided on the back side of the ball 4 in FIG. 6 so as to be orthogonal to the line 20b. The case of using this golf ball is the same as in the above-mentioned embodiment.
