Description

A putter capable of adjusting the direction of the grip}

The present invention relates to a putter capable of adjusting the direction of the grip, and more specifically, to a putter-related technology that allows the direction of the grip to be adjusted by forming a connector at the bottom of the grip portion that can be rotated to unlock or lock.

Golf is a game in which superiority is determined by the number of strokes it takes to hit a golf ball at rest on the course with the head of a golf club and put it into a designated hole.

Among the golf clubs used in golf, the putter is used for putting when the golf ball is hit or rolled gently and put into the hole cup when the hole is located a relatively short distance from the green of the field.

In particular, due to the nature of putting, which requires putting the golf ball into a hole or approaching the ball near the hole, performing accurate putting by preventing shaking of the body and putter can be said to be an important factor in reducing the number of strokes.

Accordingly, a putter that can be fixed to the body to perform precise putting has been developed.

For example, Republic of Korea Public Utility Model No. 20-2011-0003199 “Putter support device” is disclosed. In the prior art, a grip coupling part is fitted to the top of the grip of a putter, a support bar and a fixed bar are respectively connected to the upper side of the grip coupling part, and a chin support device for supporting the golfer's chin is formed at the top of the fixed bar, so that the golfer can fit the chin support device. The purpose is to support the chin and prevent head shaking, thereby enabling precise putting movements.

However, as the revised USGA regulations prohibit fixing the putter to the body, a problem has arisen that the putter that performs putting by fixing the chin as in the prior art cannot be used in actual golf games.

Therefore, in order to perform more precise putting in a golf game, there is a need to develop a putter that can perform precise putting by minimizing body shaking and putter shaking.

Republic of Korea Open Utility Model No. 20-2011-0003199 (Publication Date: 2011.03.30)

The present invention allows the direction of the grip to be adjusted, so that the golfer can keep the head of the putter square with the ball during a putting operation. After adjusting the grip to suit the golfer's body shape, the hand holding the grip is tightly placed on the inside of the forearm on the side that is not holding the grip. As this allows for more precise putting by reducing the shake of the putter without directly fixing it to the body, USGA regulations prohibit putting with the putter fixed to the body, so putters that are fixed to the body are not used in actual golf games. We want to solve the problem of not being able to use it.

The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

The putter capable of adjusting the direction of the grip of the present invention to achieve the problem to be solved above includes a head part for hitting a golf ball, a connection part formed by extending upward from the middle part of the head part, and the upper part of the connection part by rotating or loosening it. It includes a grip part coupled by a lockable connector, the central axis of the grip part is inclined at a certain angle with respect to the central axis of the connection part, and the grip part has a plurality of irregularities formed on one side to correspond to the shape of a finger and a thread formed at the lower end, It includes a sawtooth-shaped compression fixing ring formed on the lower side of the thread, and the connector has a thread corresponding to the thread formed at the bottom of the grip portion on the inner side, so that the grip portion and the connector are coupled to each other by rotation, and the grip portion unlocks and unlocks the connector. The direction can be adjusted by rotating and then locking again, and the compression fixing ring is compressed by the connector and tightened toward the connection when the connector is connected to the grip, ensuring a strong connection between the connection and the grip, allowing the golfer to unscrew the connector at the bottom of the grip. The first step is to fix the grip by adjusting the direction of the grip to suit your body and locking the connector. The second step is to hold the grip with your left or right hand. The second step is to hold the grip with the back of the hand facing the front. The third step of attaching the hand to the inner side of the forearm that is not being gripped, the fourth step of moving the hand opposite to the hand holding the grip part to the lower side of the grip part by a certain amount and wrapping the connection part with the hand, the hand holding the connection part 20 holding the ball. Rotate it in the direction you want to move it so that the fifth step of hitting the ball with the head can proceed.

Accordingly, the scope of the claims of the present invention is not limited by the following examples and drawings.

In addition, the drawings in this specification are intended to ensure that the description by reference to the drawings can be clearly understood, so some parts are somewhat exaggerated. Accordingly, there may be differences between the drawings shown in the present invention and the actual product.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, in order to make the description of the present invention concise and clear, a putter with an adjustable grip direction will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 1, and then a putter with an adjustable grip direction will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. The components and effects are explained in detail.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a putter whose grip direction can be adjusted according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The putter (1) whose grip direction is adjustable according to an example of the present invention allows the direction of the grip portion (30) to be adjusted to suit the golfer's body, so that after the golfer holds the putter (1), the hand holding the grip is moved to the grip portion (30). ), the accuracy of putting can be increased by minimizing the shaking of the putter (1) by attaching it closely to the inside of the other arm that is not holding the arm.

In addition, the putter 1, whose grip direction is adjustable, is formed so that the central axis of the grip part 30 is inclined at a certain angle with respect to the central axis of the connecting part 20, so that the putter ( 1), the pulling of the connection part 20 toward the wrist can be alleviated when held, allowing the head part 10 to be positioned in the center of the golfer's stance, allowing the golfer to easily putt in the desired direction.

In addition, the putter 1, whose grip direction is adjustable, has a plurality of irregularities formed on one side of the grip part 30 so that the shape of the grip part 30 corresponds to the shape of the finger, so that when the golfer holds the grip part 30, the grip part 30 ) does not slip out of your hand easily, allowing you to putt more stably.

The putter 1, whose grip direction can be adjusted, includes a head 10, a connection part 20, a grip part 30, and a connector 31.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, the components and effects of a putter capable of adjusting the direction of the grip according to an example of the present invention will be described in detail.

The putter (1), which has an adjustable grip direction, can be used when putting the ball into the hole cup at a relatively short distance.

A head portion 10 for hitting the ball may be formed at the lower end of the putter 1, whose grip direction can be adjusted.

The head portion 10 may be formed in the shape of a head generally used in the putter 1.

A connection portion 20 extending upward may be formed in the middle portion of the head portion 10.

The connection portion 20 may be formed in a rod shape made of stainless steel, alloy, or composite material extending upward from the middle portion of the head portion 10. Therefore, in the putting method using the putter 1 of this embodiment described later, the golfer can gently hold the connection part 20 with his hand.

A grip portion 30 may be coupled to the upper end of the connection portion 20. The grip portion 30 may be coupled by a connector 31 that can be unlocked or locked by rotating at the upper end of the connection portion 20.

The central axis of the grip portion 30 may be formed to be inclined at a certain angle with respect to the central axis of the connecting portion 20.

Therefore, the central axis of the grip portion 30 is formed to be inclined at a certain angle with respect to the central axis of the connecting portion 20, so that when the putter 1 is held in a fist with the thumb facing upward, the connecting portion 20 moves toward the wrist. By relieving the pulling, the head portion 10 can be positioned in the center of the golfer's stance, allowing the golfer to easily putt in the desired direction.

The grip portion 30 may be formed into a grip that makes it easy for a golfer to hold the putter 1.

The grip portion 30 may have a plurality of irregularities formed on one side to correspond to the shape of a finger.

A plurality of irregularities are formed on one side of the grip part 30, so that when the golfer holds the grip part 30 with his hand, the golfer wraps his fingers around the plurality of irregularities, thereby preventing the grip part 30 from easily coming off the golfer's hand, enabling more precise putting. It can be made possible.

A thread may be formed at the lower end of the grip portion 30. The thread formed at the lower end of the grip portion 30 can be screwed together with the connector 31, which will be described later, and thus can be coupled or separated from each other by loosening or locking by rotation.

A sawtooth-shaped compression fixing ring 33 may be formed on the lower side of the thread of the grip portion 30.

The compression fixing ring 33 may be formed to extend below the thread at the bottom of the grip portion, or may be formed as a separate component and coupled to be positioned below the thread.

The compression fixing ring 33 is compressed by the connector 31 and tightened toward the connection part 20 when the connector 31 is fastened to the grip part 30, thereby ensuring a firm coupling between the connection part 20 and the grip part 30. It can be done as much as possible.

A connector 31 may be coupled to the lower end of the grip portion 30. The connector 31 is a component that connects the connection portion 20 and the grip portion 30 to each other.

The connector 31 may have threads formed on its inner surface corresponding to the threads formed at the lower end of the grip portion 30 described above. That is, the grip portion 30 and the connector 31 may be screwed together by rotation to be coupled to each other. Accordingly, the direction of the grip portion 30 can be adjusted from the connection portion 20 by rotating the connector 31 to loosen or lock it.

As described above, the direction of the grip unit 30 may be adjusted by unlocking the connector 31, rotating the grip unit 30, and then locking it again. In other words, the golfer can adjust the direction of the grip portion 30 to suit his or her body to achieve a more accurate grip.

Hereinafter, a putting method using a putter whose grip direction can be adjusted will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8.

The putting method using a putter whose grip direction can be adjusted can be performed in steps 1 to 6.

In the first step, the golfer fixes the grip unit 30 by unscrewing the connector 31 at the bottom of the grip unit 30, adjusting the direction of the grip unit 30 to fit his body, and then locking the connector 31.

In this step, the golfer adjusts the direction of the grip portion 30 to suit his or her physical characteristics. In other words, this step can be said to be a step of preparing to hold the putter 1 so that it is easier to keep the head portion 10 of the putter square.

The second step is to hold the putter 1 prepared through the first step by wrapping the grip portion 30 with the left or right hand.

In this step, the hand holding the grip unit 30 may refer to the hand that the golfer mainly uses. That is, if you are right-handed, it is desirable to hold the grip part 30 with your left hand, and if you are left-handed, it is desirable to grip the grip part 30 with your right hand.

The third step is to bring the back of the hand holding the grip unit 30 to face the front and bring it into close contact with the inner side of the forearm on the side that is not holding the grip unit 30.

This step is a step of holding the grip part 30 and making a fist, with the back of the hand facing the front, and making the grip part 30 come into close contact with the inner forearm of the arm on the side that is not being held. At this time, the arm holding the grip part 30 maintains the L-shape with the forearm and the putter 1, and holds the grip part 30 as if lifting the putter 1 by clenching a fist to further prevent the putter 1 from shaking. It can be reduced effectively.

Through this step, the hand holding the grip part 30 is fixed to the inside of the opposite arm, thereby reducing the shaking of the hand holding the grip part 30, allowing more precise putting to be performed.

The fourth step is a step of moving the hand opposite to the hand holding the grip part 30 to the lower side of the grip part 30 by a certain amount and wrapping the connection part 20 with the hand to grip it.

In this step, shaking of the putter (1) can be further reduced by holding the connection part (20) on the lower side of the grip part (30) with the hand that is not holding the grip part (30). At this time, it is desirable to move the hand to the lower part of the grip part 30 to a position that is comfortable and minimizes shaking of the putter 1, considering the physical characteristics of the golfer.

The fifth step is to hit the ball by rotating the hand holding the connection part 20 in the direction in which you want to move the ball.

In this step, the golfer assumes a posture that allows for precise putting through the steps described above, then places the putter (1) in front of the ball and then rotates the hand holding the connection part (20) from the back to the front in a pendulum motion trajectory. This is the stage where you hit the ball.

Therefore, by performing the above-described first to fifth steps, more precise putting can be performed by minimizing the shaking of the putter 1 without directly fixing the putter 1 to the body.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing its technical idea or essential features. You will be able to understand it. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
