Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a grip practice assisting tool for a golf club (hereinafter, simply referred to as a grip assisting tool).

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 Conventionally, various products for practicing grip have been commercially available in order to obtain a proper grip of a golf club, but each has a difficulty in use. For example, there is a golf club that is put on the grip of the golf club, and the projections and depressions of the fingers are formed at the positions where it can be held by both hands. For the purpose of practicing only the grip, there is a shaft with a weight on the tip, or a rod-shaped resin like a golf club with the grip integrally molded. There are, however, these can be grip exercises, but you cannot actually hit the ball.

Further, the pod bag having finger-shaped irregularities described in JP-B-61-156970 can be detachably attached to a golf club in daily use and used, but it has all the thicknesses. However, it is not practical because the grip is loosened or displaced if a strong force is applied during use because it is not fixed by a bandage (bandage). It is an object of the present invention to solve these drawbacks of the conventional grip assist tool, and to provide a grip assist tool that can be tightly attached to a golf club regardless of being attachable / detachable.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, according to the present invention, a pair of thin semi-cylindrical members (hereinafter, simply referred to as members), which are cylindrical when combined, are connected by a hinge mechanism so that they can be opened and closed. , To form the female-shaped irregularities that match the fingers of the hand when holding the golf club correctly and the palm near the base of the fingers, and to bind the above components together when they are attached to the golf club. A lockable band is provided between the rear part and the rear end part, and a concavo-convex for engagement is provided on the mutual joint surface of the parts where both parts overlap with each other, or a removable grip assist tool is configured by attaching a magic tape. I did it. In particular, the position of the hinge mechanism is when the grip assist tool is attached to the golf club, even when the grip is gripped so that a correct grip can be maintained even if the grip has a different thickness (usually the right hand). ) It is better to place it on the thumb side. It is desirable to use hard rubber as the material of the main body, and finish the inner surface of the semi-cylindrical member with a rubber material that is not slippery.

[0005]

[Action]

 Wrap the grip aid with the above structure in the correct position so that the thumb side with the hinge mechanism is at the top, and attach it with a band with a lock between the front end and the rear end. The part to do is also firmly fixed. As a result, you will naturally learn the correct grip method while hitting the ball at a used club.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a side view and a cross section of the grip assisting device of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 and 4 show a plan view and a cross section of the grip assisting device in an open state. In each drawing, 2 and 3 are a pair of semi-cylindrical members (hereinafter, simply referred to as members), which are made of thin hard rubber and are connected to each other by hinge mechanisms 4, 4 '. When the two members are closed and put together, they become cylindrical and form the grip assisting tool main body 1.

On the surface of the main body 1 of the grip assist tool, in order to learn a correct grip, irregularities are formed to match the fingers and palms of ideal positions and shapes. Attach the lock bands 8 and 9 to the front end portion 5 and the rear end portion 6 of one of the members so that the members 2 and 3 can be tightly fixed to the grip of the club when they are attached to the golf club. The inner surfaces of the members 2 and 3 are provided with deviation preventing unevennesses 10 and 11 so that they will not be displaced even when a strong force is exerted when they are attached to the grip of the club. Further, on the mutual joining surfaces 12 and 13 of the overlapping portions 2'and 3'of the members 2 and 3, meshing irregularities are provided, or a velcro is attached. The grip assisting device thus configured is connected by the hinge mechanisms 4 and 4'and can be opened and closed, so that it can be attached to and detached from the golf club as needed.

As shown in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B), the shape of the fingers when the grip assist tool of the present invention is attached to a golf club and gripped is such that the thumb side of both hands is located at the upper part, and Since the hinge mechanisms 4 and 4'are also provided on the upper thumb side, the grips with different thicknesses are adjusted by the joint surfaces 12 and 13 of the opening, so that the correct grip is always maintained. can do. This is in line with the basic idea that the correct grip position of the grip is aligned with the thumb side as the base.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it can be mounted on a golf club that is actually being used, and can be used naturally without any special practice for gripping. The grip can be worn, and even if the size of the grip varies depending on the club, it can be used without any problem. Also, since the thickness of the grip aid body is thin, there is relatively little discomfort when worn on a club.
