Golf tee

Abstract

A golf tee includes a ball seat portion on which a golf ball is placed; and a rod-shaped support shaft portion formed downward from the ball seat portion. The support shaft portion has a projection that is laterally formed on and projected from the support shaft portion. The ball seat portion and the support shaft portion are formed plane-symmetrically on a single plane including a central axis line of the support shaft portion and a point of the projection. In the single plane, a virtual plane including contact portion that contacts with a golf ball when the golf ball is placed on the ball seat portion and a central axis line of the support shaft portion form an obtuse angle on one side of the axis line and form an acute angle on the other side of the axis line.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a golf tee that makes a player easily imagine a direction of hitting a golf ball, and reduces resistance of hitting the golf ball.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A golf tee holds a golf ball at a predetermined height position above the ground when a golf player hits a tee-shot. Conventionally, golf tees of various shapes, structures and materials have been proposed, sold and used.[0003]FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating one example of a golf tee in the related art. This golf tee 10 includes a ball seat portion 14 on which a golf ball 12 is placed, and a rod-shaped support shaft portion 16 vertically formed downward from the bottom of the ball seat portion 14. Angle α formed by a virtual plane (shown with broken line A) and the support shaft portion 16 is a substantially right angle (substantially 90 degrees) as illustrated in FIG. 7. The virtual plane includes a contact portion on the ball seat portion 14. The contact portion cont...

Benefits of technology

[0027]In the golf tee of the present invention, a projection is torn on and projected from the side on which a support shaft portion forms an obtuse angle with respect to a virtual plane of a ball seat portion. Therefore, only by a sense of touching the projection by hand, it is possible to recognize the obtuse angle side of the support shaft portion, that is, the front side of the golf tee. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is possible to stick the golf tee into the ground without looking at the golf tee in a state where the front side of the golf tee is tilted by an appropriate angle with respect to the target direction to hit a golf ball.

[0028]Further, there is a case player sticks the golf tee into the ground and plays in a state in which the golf tee is tilted in the target direction to hit the golf ball. In this case, with the golf tee of the present invention, the player can visually check the support shaft portion of the golf tee at any time. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is easy to create an image of the target direction to hit a golf ball when the player hits a teed golf ball by a driver.

[0029]Moreover, there is a case where the player sticks the golf tee into the ground and plays in

Problems solved by technology

However, a golf player hardly takes a stance by accurately orienting to a remote target point by eye.

However, there is not always something to be suitable as a temporary target in the same direction as the target direction in all holes.

There are many cases where it is not possible to dete
