AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a golf swing training club with a unique design that helps improve the golfer's swing. The club has a shaft with a specific bending angle, a handgrip, and a golf head attached to the shaft. The club has a standard longitudinal shaft bending angle of 45° to 90°. The club has a mechanical beam portion with a standard extensive shear modulus of at most 15°. The club has a braided layer or braided hose with a lazy tongs structure. The club can be used for training and practice. The technical effects of the invention include improved swing training, reduced bending angle of the shaft, and increased stability of the swing.

Problems solved by technology

While many such training golf clubs exist, the present inventors have found that many fail to improve the user's swing motion, and in some cases, various known training golf clubs may actually strengthen certain impediments in the user's swing motion.

[0073]Measurement Procedure: Extensive Shear Modulus

[0074]Shear modulus as an extensive property for golf clubs can be characterized by a shaft torque analyzer, e.g., an apparatus that measures the angular deflection of the shaft under standard and repeatable conditions. Commercially available apparatus for this purpose include the Auditor® 050312 digital shaft torque measuring machine.

[0075]Such shaft torque measuring machines are typically equipped with a torsion control head having a cradle adapted to receive a golf shaft. The torsion control head has a torsion arm, and may be adapted to receive a torsion weight at a predetermined position along the arm, so as to exert a predetermined load. In the measurement procedure used herein, the predetermined load is 1 pound / foot. When properly inserted, the shaft should protrude past the back (inwardly disposed) side of the torsion control head clamp by 1.5 inches.

[0076]The shaft torque measuring machine includes a shaft butt clamp, which...

[0080]Measurement: Extensive Shear Modulus

[0081]The standard extensive shear modulus (expressed as angular deflection, in degrees) for various training golf clubs of the present invention was found to be at most 15°. More typically, the angular deflection was at most 12°, or at most 10°, at most 8°, or at most 6°. The angular deflection was at least 2°. The angular deflection was typically within a range of 2° to 15°, 2° to 12°, 2° to 10°, 2° to 8°, 3° to 15, 2°, 3° to 12°, 3° to 10°, 3° to 8°, 4° to 12°, 4° to 10°, 4° to 8°, 5° to 12°, or 5° to 10°.

[0082]Utilizing thicker wires for the braiding, utilizing stiffer materials of construction, and utilizing more than one layer of braiding all contribute to a reduction in the angular deflection.

[0083]Measurement Procedure: Extensive Bending

[0084]Extensive longitudinal (i.e., along the length of the shaft axis) bending of the shaft may be characterized by the angle the shaft makes when held horizontally, using a putting head of standard weight—350 grams.

[0085]The shaft is held or supported solely on the handgrip side, such that the length of the free beam between the hold position and the putting head is 20 inches. The downward bend or vertical dip (“DIP LENGTH”, or Ldip) from horizontal is measured, in inches, as is the resultant horizontal extension (“HORIZONTAL LENGTH”, or Lhor). The standard shaft bending angle (in degrees) may be calculated by the following formula:

standard longitudinal shaft bending angle (β)=tan−1 (Ldip / Lhor)

[0086]Thus, for an idealized, non-bending shaft, Ldip=0 and Lhor=20, such that the standard longitudinal shaft bending angle (β)=0°. For an idealized, fully-bending shaft, Ldip=20 and Lhor=0, such that the standard longitudinal shaft bending angl...
