Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a golf practice mat. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, golf practice mats are known that are made of a rubber plate with fine resin strings attached thereon.

[0003] Such conventional golf practice mats are designed with various features, such as coloring the resin green to give it a similar appearance to grass, and providing a line of a different color down the center to clearly indicate the direction in which the user should set up or to serve as a guide for swinging the golf club.

[0004] Recently, products that provide a previously unavailable soft feel when used have been put to practical use by selecting the type of resin or shape.

[0005] Patent Document 1 discloses an invention in which two types of mats with different grass blade lengths are joined so that the surfaces are flush, and the mat with the longer grass blades is placed in front of the direction in which the ball will be hit.This prevents pain in the hands and elbows and tendonitis caused by the impact from the bottom board of the mat, even when the swing trajectory reaches its lowest point after hitting the ball, because the grass blades are long, and allows the player to experience the feeling of grabbing turf.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 5-277218 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] "Turf" refers to grass, and scraping off the grass in front of the ball with an iron shot is generally referred to as "removing the turf."

[0008] Furthermore, with golf practice mats, the turf does not come off because it is a mat, and even though the invention of Patent Document 1 allows the user to experience the sensation of picking up the turf, there is a problem in that it is difficult for the user to grasp the visual sensation.

[0009] In addition, some conventional golf practice mats have a white line marked in the center to indicate the ball's trajectory, but this has the problem that it is difficult to see the line as a spot.

[0010] An object of the present invention is to provide a golf practice mat that can give a user the visual sensation of turf being removed when hitting a ball with a golf club.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf practice mat having spots that allow a user to easily visualize hitting a ball with a golf club. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] A golf practice mat for practicing golf according to a first aspect of the present invention, The golf practice mat comprises: A mat body having a grass member which is artificial grass and a base member to which the grass member is connected; a ball placement section on which a golf ball can be placed; A contact portion that serves as a target when a user swings a golf club; A turf portion having a different color from the mat body portion; and a spot portion that a user can aim at when hitting a golf ball.

[0013] Since the turf portion is a different color from the main body of the mat, the user can visually sense that the turf is coming off when hitting the ball with a golf club.

[0014] In addition, since the spat parts are provided, it is easy for the user to visualize hitting the ball with the golf club.

[0015] A golf practice mat according to a second aspect of the present invention is the golf practice mat according to the first aspect, wherein the contact portion is disposed on a front side of the ball placement portion; The turf portion is disposed on the front side of the contact portion, This is a golf practice mat in which the spat section is disposed on the front side of the turf section.

[0016] This makes it possible to achieve the same effects as in the first aspect.

[0017] A golf practice mat according to a third aspect of the present invention is the golf practice mat according to the first aspect, wherein the turf portion has a rectangular shape or an elliptical shape in a plan view.

[0018] Since the turf portion is rectangular or elliptical in shape, it is easy to imagine what the turf will actually look like when it is removed.

[0019] A golf practice mat according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is a golf practice mat according to the first aspect, wherein the grass member of the mat main body is green in color and the turf portion is brown in color.

[0020] The grass material is green artificial turf, and the turf portion is brown, the color of earth, so that it is easy to imagine the turf coming off when a golf ball is hit with a golf club.

[0021] A golf practice mat according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is a golf practice mat according to the first aspect, wherein the spot portion is circular in a plan view and is arranged in multiple portions on the mat main body portion.

[0022] Since the spot portions have the same circular shape as a golf ball and there are multiple spot portions, it is easy to visualize the trajectory of a golf ball. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] 1 is a perspective view of a golf practice mat according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a plan view of a golf practice mat according to the embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a partial side view of the golf practice mat according to the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0025] Generally, amateur swings often have the lowest point directly below the ball, which increases the likelihood of a duffed shot or topping the ball.

[0026] And by hitting the ball with a downward blow, you can prevent a duffing.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, to hit a down blow, the lowest point of the swing trajectory will be at the tip of the ball.

[0028] If your swing has the lowest point ahead of the ball, there is less chance of hitting the ball in front of it, resulting in a "duff," and even if you top the ball a little, you can still hit it cleanly with a down blow.

[0029] Furthermore, hitting with a hand-first approach makes it easier to hit with a down blow.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the golf practice mat 100 according to this embodiment includes a mat body 200 having a rectangular shape in a plan view in this embodiment, a ball placement section 300 on which a golf ball can be placed; A contact portion 400 that serves as a target when a user swings the golf club; A turf portion 500 having a different color from the mat body portion 200; and a spat portion 600 that the user can target when hitting a golf ball.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mat main body 200 has a rectangular shape with a longitudinal direction (x-axis direction) of 640 mm and a lateral direction (y-axis direction) of 240 mm in an xy plan view, but the shape is not limited thereto.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the mat main body 200 includes a turf member 210, which is artificial turf, and a base member 220 to which the artificial turf is attached.

[0033] In this embodiment, the turf member 210 is made of a material such as PP (polypropylene), but may be made of other plastics such as polyethylene, polycarbonate, or the like.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the grass member 210 is preferably green, which is the color of grass, but the color is not limited to green.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 3, the turf member 210 is formed by connecting a plurality of linear members to a base member 220 at one point, and then connecting the linear members at multiple points.

[0036] In this embodiment, the base member 220 is made of a material such as SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), but may be made of other plastics such as EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer resin).

[0037] The ball placement section 300 is where a user places a golf ball before hitting the golf ball with a golf club.

[0038] In this embodiment, the ball arrangement portion 300 has a circular shape when viewed in the xy plane, and has a diameter of 38 mm.

[0039] The ball placement portion 300 is a color different from the color of the turf member 210 of the mat main body 200, and in this embodiment, the ball placement portion 300 is white.

[0040] It should be noted that the ball arrangement section 300 does not have to be circular in shape when viewed in the xy plane, and may be, for example, rectangular or elliptical.

[0041] The contact portion 400 is a target position where the bottom surface of the golf club reaches its lowest point when a user hits a golf ball on the ball placement portion 300 with the golf club.

[0042] The contact portion 400 is disposed in front of the ball arrangement portion 300 (on the negative x-axis direction side).

[0043] Specifically, the contact portion 400 partially overlaps with the ball arrangement portion 300 .

[0044] More specifically, the contact portion 400 overlaps with approximately one-quarter of the ball arrangement portion 300 on the front side (the negative x-axis direction side).

[0045] In this embodiment, the contact portion 400 has a rectangular shape when viewed in the xy plane, and is longer in the vertical direction (y-axis direction).

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the contact portion 400 is 15 mm in the horizontal direction (x-axis direction) and 60 mm in the vertical direction (y-axis direction).

[0047] The contact portion 400 is a color different from the color of the turf member 210 of the mat main body 200, and in this embodiment, the contact portion 400 is brown.

[0048] A user can swing the golf club down toward the contact portion 400 to hit the golf ball placed in the ball placement portion 300 with a down blow.

[0049] The turf portion 500 is disposed on the front side (x-axis negative direction side) of the contact portion 400, and in this embodiment, has a rectangular shape when viewed in the xy plane.

[0050] Specifically, the turf section 500 in this embodiment is 640 mm in the horizontal direction (x-axis direction) and 240 mm in the vertical direction (y-axis direction).

[0051] In this embodiment, the turf section 500 has a rectangular shape when viewed in the xy plane, but may have a square, elliptical or circular shape when viewed in a plane.

[0052] The turf portion 500 is a color different from the color of the mat main body portion 200.

[0053] In this embodiment, the grass member 210 of the mat main body 200 is colored green to represent grass, and the turf portion 500 is colored brown to represent soil.

[0054] In this embodiment, the turf portion 500 is the same brown color as the contact portion 400, but is a lighter brown color than the contact portion 400.

[0055] Since the turf portion 500 is a different color, brown, from the mat body portion 200, a user of the golf practice mat 100 can visually get the sense that the turf is being removed after swinging a golf club.

[0056] In this embodiment, the turf section 500 is made of the same artificial turf as the turf member 210 and is brown in color.

[0057] The turf section 500 may be made of artificial turf that is shorter than the artificial turf of the turf member 210, or may have no artificial turf and may only be a different color.

[0058] The spot section 600 is a target when a user hits a golf ball placed in the ball placement section 300 with a golf club.

[0059] The spat portion 600 has a circular shape in a plan view, and in this embodiment, has a diameter of 38 mm, which is the same size as the ball arrangement portion 300.

[0060] The spat portion 600 is made up of a plurality of parts, and in this embodiment, the spat portion 600 is made up of a first spat portion 610, a second spat portion 620, and a third spat portion 630.

[0061] In this embodiment, the spot portion 600 is white in color, similar to the ball arrangement portion 300 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the spat portions 600 are provided at three locations, but the number is not limited thereto.

[0063] The first spat section 610 is disposed on the front side (negative x-axis direction side) of the turf section 500, and is disposed on the rear side (positive x-axis direction side) of the second spat section 620.

[0064] The second spatt portion 620 is disposed in front of the first spatt portion 610 (the negative x-axis direction side), and is disposed behind the third spatt portion 630 (the positive x-axis direction side).

[0065] The third spats 630 are disposed in front of the second spats 620 (on the negative x-axis direction).

[0066] As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, the distance A from the left end (the end on the negative x-axis side) of the turf section 500 to the center of the first spat section 610, the distance B from the center of the first spat section 610 to the center of the second spat section 620, and the distance C from the center of the second spat section 620 to the center of the third spat section 630 are the same, and the first spat section 610, the second spat section 620 and the third spat section 630 are on a straight line.

[0067] That is, the first spat portion 610, the second spat portion 620 and the third spat portion 630 are aligned on the center line L and are arranged at equal intervals.

[0068] The provision of the spat portion 600 makes it easier for the user to visualize the ideal trajectory of the ball when hitting the golf ball with a golf club.

[0069] The present invention can be implemented in various forms with improvements, modifications, or variations without departing from the spirit of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
