Description

  The present invention relates to a golf putter that can be used to practice a preferred posture for putting a golf ball directly into a cup and that can be reliably put into a cup in a game.

Since golf is hit in a swinging posture in a sideways state, it is very difficult to capture the sense of direction of flight, and it is often not possible to put a golf ball directly into a cup with a putter.
Therefore, in order to determine an accurate putt, the actual situation is to repeat practice and learn the correct sense of direction with the body.

On the other hand, various methods have been proposed so far, in which a mirror is provided on the upper surface of the putter head so that the target can be aimed toward the cup, simply for determining an accurate putt (Patent Document 1 and Patent Document). 2).
However, with that technique, it may be possible to match the direction of the hitting surface of the golf putter as intended, but there is no means for determining the position of the player's body and the position of the golf putter. However, the posture of the body was not fixed, and even if the practice was repeated with the putter, there was no progress.
JP 2002-210050 A JP-A-9-66127

  In view of the above circumstances, the present invention can confirm the best positional relationship between the player's body and the golf putter when practicing the putter, and repeat the practice while accurately reproducing the best form at that time. Thus, it provides a means by which an accurate putter judgment can be acquired.

  In the present invention, two circular mirrors having substantially the same diameter as the golf ball are arranged in series on the top of the head of the golf putter so that the center overlaps a straight line parallel to the perpendicular to the sweet spot on the head striking surface. In addition, each reflection surface can be fixed at an angle toward both eyes of the player.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, a directional straight line that overlaps a straight line parallel to a perpendicular to the sweet spot on the hitting surface of the head is written on the reflecting surfaces of both circular mirrors of the golf putter having the above-described configuration.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, an angle adjusting means for adjusting an angle in one direction or a free direction is interposed between the upper part of the head of the golf putter having the above-described configuration and both circular mirrors.

When the mirror was fixed to the head of the conventional putter so that the cup could be seen from the player, the golf putter could be positioned in the aiming direction, but the position of the player at that time could not be determined. On the other hand, the golf putter of the present invention can accurately confirm the player's best form when the golf putter is positioned in the aiming direction by projecting both eyes of the player on two circular mirrors. It becomes possible.
And since the same posture is accurately reproduced by looking through the circular mirror, it is possible to surely acquire the best batting form by repeating the practice in that posture.

  Furthermore, in the case where a direction straight line that overlaps with a straight line parallel to the perpendicular to the sweet spot of the head hitting surface is written on the reflection surface of the circular mirror, the direction passing through the center of both eyes with respect to the direction straight line, and golf If the center of the ball and the direction of the cup are aligned in a straight line, the best hitting foam can be positioned accurately, but if the line is disturbed even a little, the state can be recognized at a glance. It can be corrected so that they are aligned, and the player's posture can be easily corrected.

  Even when the best form is a player's own form, the form that can adjust the angle of the circular mirror can be used to obtain the best form unique to the player.

A mode for carrying out the golf putter of the present invention will be described in detail below.
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, two circular mirrors 4 and 5 having a size capable of capturing both eyes E of the player P in use are shown on the upper part 2a of the head 2 of the golf putter 1, as shown in FIG. In addition, the reflection surfaces 4a and 5a are fixed so that the angle toward the eyes E of the player P, that is, the angle at which the reflection line H of the light rays emitted from the eyes returns to the eyes.
As shown in FIG. 4, the circular mirrors 4 and 5 use two circular mirrors 4 and 5 having substantially the same diameter as the golf ball B.
Further, the circular mirrors 4 and 5 may be directly fixed to the upper portion 2a of the head 2 side by side. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. The circular mirrors 4 and 5 may be fixed side by side on a plane.

  Then, two circular mirrors 4 and 5 having substantially the same diameter as the golf ball B are placed on the straight line X parallel to the perpendicular to the sweet spot S of the hitting surface 3 of the head 2 on the upper portion 2a of the head 2. Arranged in series so that the centers overlap, the reflecting surfaces 4a and 5a of the circular mirrors 4 and 5 are fixed at an angle toward the eyes E of the player P.

  Further, in order to easily match the direction (X direction shown in FIG. 5) passing through the centers of both eyes e1 and e2 reflected on the circular mirrors 4 and 5 with the direction of the cup, as shown in FIG. For 5a, a direction straight line 6 can be written so as to overlap with a straight line X parallel to the perpendicular to the sweet spot S of the hitting surface 3 of the head 2. In this way, the straight line X and the centers of both eyes e1 and e2 can be easily and reliably superimposed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, an angle adjusting means 8 for adjusting the angle in one direction or a free direction may be interposed between the upper portion 2a of the head 2 and the circular mirrors 4 and 5. Is possible.
The angle adjusting means 8 can have various mechanisms. An example of the angle adjusting means 8 will be described below.

First, as shown in FIG. 8, a structure in which the angle adjusting means 8 can be adjusted only in one direction is provided with a base 9 on the upper part 2 a of the head 2, and on the upper part on one side of the base 9. A pivot base 17 provided with a pivot section 10 is fixed, and two circular mirrors 4 and 5 are pasted on a circular mirror base plate 7 disposed on the base 9, and one side on the circular base plate 7 is attached. Support the department. A slope 16 is formed on the lower surface of the circular mirror base plate 7.
Further, a screw bearing portion 11 having a bearing female screw 12 is provided upright on the side opposite to the pivotal support portion 10, and a wedge 15 that contacts the inclined surface 16 below the circular mirror base plate 7 is rotated at the tip of the bearing female screw 12. The adjustment screw 13 that can be mounted is screwed.
Then, a tension spring 14 is mounted between the base 9 and the circular mirror base plate 7.
In this structure, the wedge 15 reciprocates under the slope 16 below the circular mirror base plate 7 by propelling or retreating the adjusting screw 13, and the pivot 10 is supported against the force of the pulling spring 14. The angle of inclination of the circular mirror base plate 7 is changed, for example, in FIG. 8 (a), the mirror is horizontally changed, in (b) the mirror is inclined (a), and in (c) the mirror is changed to the opposite inclination (b). Can be adjusted.

Further, in the structure of adjusting the direction of the circular mirror in the free direction among the angle adjusting means 8, for example, as shown in FIG. A joint receiver 21 is provided at the center, and two circular mirrors 4, 5 are attached to the joint receiver 21 on the circular mirror base plate 7 arranged on the base 9, and the central portion on the circular base plate 7 is attached. A spherical free joint 20 is fitted into the joint.
Then, a screw bearing portion 22 provided with a bearing female screw 18 is erected on one side, and a fixing screw is provided so that the tip of the bearing female screw 18 penetrates the joint receiver 21 and abuts against the free joint 20. 19 is screwed.
In this structure, when the fixing screw 19 is retracted and loosened, the free joint 20 is freely tilted. For example, in FIG. 9A, the mirror is horizontal, and in FIG. 9B, the mirror is tilted (a). In (c), it is possible to fix the tilt angle of the circular mirror base plate 7 as it is if the mirror is adjusted to the opposite tilt (b) and the fixing screw 19 is advanced and tightened when it is fixed at an appropriate angle. It becomes.

The present invention is as described above, and the case where it is used will be described in detail below.
Usually, it is preferable that the best form when hitting a putter is such that the face of the player P is directly above the head 2 of the putter 1, as shown in FIG.
In the present invention, when the player P looks at the head 2 of the putter 1 in such a best form, the person himself has his own eyes e1, e2 on the circular mirrors 4, 5 on the upper part 2a of the head 2, as shown in FIG. As shown, it appears reflected.
At this time, the direction passing through both eyes e1 and e2 is aligned with the direction perpendicular to the sweet spot S of the hitting surface 3 of the head 2 (X direction in the figure), and the direction passing through both eyes e1 and e2 is made to coincide with the direction of the cup. Then, since the hitting surface 3 of the head 2 is in a state perpendicular to the direction in which the ball B is to be hit, if there is a cup on the horizontal course, the shot will surely enter the cup if it is shot in that posture.
If the hit position of the ball B deviates from the sweet spot S, the travel trajectory of the hit ball B may bend or the rolling distance may be out of order, so that the ball B hits the sweet spot S.

Further, in the form in which two circular mirrors 4 and 5 are arranged in series on the head upper portion 2a so that the centers thereof overlap on a straight line parallel to the perpendicular to the sweet spot S of the head striking surface 3 as shown in FIG. In addition, both eyes e1 and e2 of the self appear to be reflected by the two circular mirrors 4 and 5 separately.
In this case, since the centers of the two circular mirrors 4 and 5 are perpendicular to the hitting surface 3, the direction passing through the centers of both eyes e1 and e2 (the X direction shown in FIG. 5) matches the direction of the cup. If the ball B is placed on the straight line and shot in that posture, the ball B surely enters the cup.
However, when the direction passing through both eyes e1 and e2 (X direction shown in FIG. 6) and the direction of the cup (Y direction shown in FIG. 6) do not match, the misalignment state is shown in FIG. Since the angle difference between the direction and the Y direction is generated and can be recognized at a glance, accurate correction can be easily performed.
Then, the direction of the putter is adjusted so that the direction (X direction shown in FIG. 6) and the direction of the cup coincide with each other as shown in FIG. 5, and at the same time, the boundary between the two circular mirrors 4 and 5 ( The position of the player P can be accurately adjusted in such a way that the contact) is captured.

When the position of the ball B is deviated from the direction passing through both eyes e1 and e2 (the X direction in FIG. 6) (when the ball is in the position indicated by the broken circle in FIG. 6), two circular mirrors are used. As a guideline, 4 and 5, the ball B can be accurately placed in the X direction of FIG. Then, if the shot is made in this posture, the ball B is surely entered into the cup.
Then, when the two eyes e1 and e2 are not aligned, as shown in FIG. 7, the directions are shifted and projected onto the two circular mirrors 4 and 5, so that the correctness shown in FIG. It is possible to adjust to the correct posture of the player P by simply correcting and adjusting so as to be in a state.

Further, in a form in which a directional straight line 6 is written on the reflecting surfaces 4a and 5a so as to overlap a straight line parallel to a perpendicular to the sweet spot S of the hitting surface 3 of the head 2, both eyes e1 , E2, the center of the golf ball B, and the direction of the cup may be arranged in a line on a straight line.
At this time, if any of them is deviated, the misalignment state can be recognized at a glance, so that they can be easily corrected so that they are aligned on a straight line.

When the best form is unique to the player P, the best form for the player, such as a structure that can be adjusted in one direction (FIG. 8) and a structure that can be adjusted in a free direction (FIG. 9). Can be adjusted to obtain an angle.
This determines the best position of the body and the golf putter, and that posture is the player's best form.

  The present invention is a golf putter for posture practice, but can be used to accurately shot a ball even during actual play.
