[0042] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings. Identical components in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions of identical components are omitted.

[0043] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a golf swing posture aid (1000) according to embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a drawing showing the golf swing posture aid (1000) of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a drawing showing the power belt (PB), power belt connecting part (100), first belt (AB), first belt connecting plate (200), and first belt adjusting part (300) of the golf swing posture aid (1000) of FIG. 2.

[0044] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a golf swing posture aid (1000) includes a first belt (AB), a second belt (SB), a power belt (PB), a power belt connecting part (100), and a first belt connecting plate (200). The first belt (AB) wraps around a first body part of the user. The second belt (SB) wraps around a second body part of the user. The power belt (PB) is connected to the second belt (SB) and passes over the back of the user. The power belt connecting part (100) is connected to the power belt (PB). The first belt connecting plate (200) is connected to the first belt (AB). The power belt connecting part (100) and the first belt connecting plate (200) are connected to rotate with each other through a rotation axis.

[0045] For example, the first body part may be the arm on the first side of the user. For example, the second body part may be the shoulder on the second side of the user opposite to the first side.

[0046] For example, the first body part may be the user's left arm, and the second body part may be the user's right shoulder.

[0047] The power belt (PB) may have elasticity. For example, when the user performs a golf swing, the power belt (PB) may extend to its maximum length to correct the user's swing posture and increase the strength of the swing. For example, when the user is not performing a golf swing, the power belt (PB) may have a normal length without extending.

[0048] A portion of the power belt (PB) can be pulled into the interior of the power belt connection part (100) by using a spring or flexible band placed inside the power belt connection part (100). Accordingly, the power belt (PB) is brought into close contact with the user's back, thereby preventing the power belt (PB) from twisting, sagging, or stretching.

[0049] The above golf swing posture aid (1000) may further include a first belt adjustment part (300) for adjusting the tension of the first belt (AB). The playing time of golf may be prolonged, and if the user wears the golf swing posture aid (1000) for a long time, the arm may be tightened by the first belt (AB) or the arm may be pulled toward the back by the first belt (AB) and the power belt (PB).

[0050] If the user puts on and takes off the golf swing posture aid (1000), it will feel excessively cumbersome. Therefore, when the user is using the golf swing posture aid (1000), the tension of the first belt (AB) can be increased using the first belt adjustment part (300), and when the user is not using the golf swing posture aid (1000), the tension of the first belt (AB) can be lowered using the first belt adjustment part (300), so that the user can have a comfortable physical condition without having to take off the golf swing posture aid (1000).

[0051] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing the upper member (110) of the power belt connection part (100) of FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the lower member (120) and the sliding plate (SD) of the power belt connection part (100) of FIG. 3.

[0052] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the power belt connecting portion (100) may include an upper member (110), a lower member (120) coupled to the upper member (110), and a sliding plate (SD) that is directly connected to the power belt (PB) and slides within a space defined by the upper member (110) and the lower member (120).

[0053] The upper surface of the power belt connection part (100) may have a bending structure in which the height decreases from the center toward both sides. Alternatively, the upper surface of the power belt connection part (100) may have a curved structure in which the height gradually decreases from the center toward both sides.

[0054] The upper member (110) and the lower member (120) may be joined by a screw. However, the method of joining the upper member (110) and the lower member (120) is not limited thereto.

[0055] The lower member (120) may include a bottom plate (121) and a side wall (122) extending upward from the bottom plate (121). The side wall (122) may include a first protrusion (P1) and a second protrusion (P2).

[0056] The sliding plate (SD) may not escape outside the space defined by the upper member (110) and the lower member (120) by means of the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2).

[0057] The power belt (PB) can enter and exit the empty space defined between the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2).

[0058] In this embodiment, the bottom plate (121) may include a first spring connecting portion (123), and the sliding plate (SD) may include a second spring connecting portion (HL). For example, the first spring connecting portion (123) may be a projection protruding in the shape of a cylinder from the bottom plate (121). For example, the second spring connecting portion (HL) may be a hole or a groove formed in the sliding plate (SD).

[0059] The power belt connection part (100) may further include a spring (SP) comprising a first end connected to the first spring connection part (123) and a second end connected to the second spring connection part (HL).

[0060] For example, when the user does not swing, the spring (SP) is not extended, so the sliding plate (SD) can be positioned as shown in FIG. 5. On the other hand, when the user swings, the power belt (PB) is pulled, so the spring (SP) is also extended, and the sliding plate (SD) can come into contact with the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2). When the sliding plate (SD) is in contact with the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2), the power belt (PB) is pulled to assist the user's swing motion.

[0061] The above sliding plate (SD) may include a first sliding plate (SD1) and a second sliding plate (SD2) facing the first sliding plate (SD1). The power belt (PB) may be fitted between the first sliding plate (SD1) and the second sliding plate (SD2). The second sliding plate (SD2), the power belt (PB), and the first sliding plate (SD1) may be joined by a first screw (SC1).

[0062] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing the first belt connecting plate (200) of FIG. 3.

[0063] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, the first belt connecting plate (200) may include a first belt connecting part (CN1) disposed on the first side of the first belt connecting plate (200) and connected to the first end of the first belt (AB), and a second belt connecting part (CN2) disposed on the second side of the first belt connecting plate (200) and connected to the second end of the first belt (AB).

[0064] For example, the first belt connecting portion (CN1) may include a first column portion protruding upward from the bottom surface of the first belt connecting plate (200), a second column portion protruding upward from the bottom surface of the first belt connecting plate, and a horizontal portion connecting the first column portion and the second column portion. The first column portion and the second column portion may protrude in the upward direction relative to the upper surface of the horizontal portion.

[0065] That is, the bottom surface, the first column part, the second column part, and the horizontal part of the first belt connection part (CN1) may have a "B" shape.

[0066] The first end of the first belt (AB) can be connected to the first belt connecting plate (200) in such a way that the first end of the first belt (AB) enters through the hole between the bottom surface and the horizontal part and comes out over the horizontal part.

[0067] For example, the second belt connection portion (CN2) may be a hole formed on the bottom surface of the first belt connection plate (200). The second end of the first belt (AB) may be connected to the first belt connection plate (200) in such a way that the second end of the first belt (AB) passes through the hole.

[0068] A first rotation axis (RA1) may be formed on the bottom surface of the first belt connecting plate (200), and this will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 7.

[0069] FIG. 7 is a drawing showing a first rotation axis (RA1) and a first rotation axis fixing part (RF1) connecting the power belt connection part (100) of FIG. 3 and the first belt connection plate (200) of FIG. 3.

[0070] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the golf swing posture aid (1000) may further include a first rotation axis (RA1) that protrudes upward from the bottom surface of the first belt connecting plate (200) and penetrates a first rotation hole (RH1) formed in the lower member (120) of the power belt connecting part (100), and a first rotation axis fixing part (RF1) that is coupled to the first rotation axis (RA1) at the upper part of the lower member (120) of the power belt connecting part (100).

[0071] In FIG. 5, the first rotational shaft fixing part (RF1) is hidden from view by the power belt (PB), and the first rotational shaft fixing part (RF1) can be positioned below the power belt (PB).

[0072] In order to avoid contact between the first rotational shaft fixing part (RF1) and the power belt (PB), contact between the first rotational shaft fixing part (RF1) and the sliding plate (SD), and contact between the first rotational shaft fixing part (RF1) and the spring (SP) when the power belt (PB) slides, the first rotational shaft fixing part (RF1) may have a very low height from the bottom plate (121) of the lower member (120), and the portion protruding from the bottom plate (121) of the lower member (120) may be treated as a curved surface.

[0073] FIG. 8 is a drawing showing the first belt (AB) of FIG. 3 and the first belt adjustment part (300) of FIG. 3. FIG. 9 is a drawing showing the combination of the first belt (AB) of FIG. 8 and the second adjustment ring part (320) of FIG. 8.

[0074] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 9, the golf swing posture aid (1000) may further include a first adjustment ring portion (310) connected to the third end of the first belt (AB), a second adjustment ring portion (320) connected to the first end of the first belt (AB), and an adjustment line (330) connected to the first belt adjustment portion (300) by passing through the ring of the first adjustment ring portion (310) and the ring of the second adjustment ring portion (320).

[0075] As shown in FIG. 3, the first end of the first belt (AB) passes through the first belt connection part (CN1) of the first belt connection plate (200) and is connected to the second adjustment ring part (320).

[0076] FIG. 9 specifically illustrates the method in which the first end of the first belt (AB) is connected to the second adjustment ring portion (320). The first belt (AB) includes a hole positioned at a location corresponding to the rings of the second adjustment ring portion (320), and a portion of the first belt (AB) folded to wrap around the rod shape of the second adjustment ring portion (320) can be sewn to the body portion of the first belt (AB).

[0077] In this manner, the third end of the first belt (AB) can be connected to the first adjustment ring portion (310). The first belt (AB) includes a hole positioned at a location corresponding to the rings of the first adjustment ring portion (310), and a portion of the first belt (AB) folded to wrap around the rod shape of the first adjustment ring portion (310) can be sewn to the body portion of the first belt (AB).

[0078] For example, if the first belt adjustment part (300) is turned in one direction, the length of the adjustment line (330) is reduced and the tension of the first belt (AB) can be increased.

[0079] For example, if the first belt adjustment part (300) is lifted upward, the adjustment line (330) is released, and the tension of the first belt (AB) can be reduced.

[0080] Turning or lifting the first belt adjustment part (300) upward is merely an example, and the first belt adjustment part (300) can change the tension of the first belt (AB) by adjusting the length of the adjustment line (330) in various ways.

[0081] According to the present embodiment, the golf swing posture assist device (1000) can make the user think that the power belt (PB) should be pulled when swinging and make the user feel the sensation of being pulled on the back, thereby allowing the user to naturally rotate their shoulders when swinging.

[0082] In addition, the golf swing posture aid (1000) allows the user to pull the power belt (PB), thereby causing the user to pull their shoulder towards their chin. As a result, the user's waist and legs are naturally twisted, and the user can perform an ideal top posture.

[0083] In addition, the golf swing posture aid (1000) can produce an ideal swing motion in which the user's shoulders and waist rotate first and the hands follow later due to the elastic force of the pulled power belt (PB). Accordingly, the directionality of the swing is improved and the distance can be increased.

[0084] In addition, the golf swing posture aid (1000) can cause the shoulders to rotate naturally and allow the shoulders to start first when swinging for users who have weak muscles or swing without rotating their bodies. Accordingly, when the golf swing posture aid (1000) is used repeatedly, the core muscles of the back of the user develop, and the muscles remember the swing trajectory, so that the swing posture can be improved even without the golf swing posture aid (1000).

[0085] Additionally, the golf swing posture aid (1000) includes a power belt connection part (100) connected to the power belt (PB). Through the sliding plate (SD) disposed within the power belt connection part (100) and the spring (SP) that pulls the sliding plate (SD), the power belt (PB) is closely attached to the user's back, thereby preventing twisting, sagging, and stretching of the power belt (PB), and thus improving the functionality and aesthetics of the golf swing posture aid (1000).

[0086] Additionally, the golf swing posture aid (1000) includes a first belt connecting plate (200) connected to the first belt (AB), and the first belt connecting plate (200) is connected to the power belt connecting part (100) via a rotation axis (RA1). Since the first belt connecting plate (200) and the power belt connecting part (100) are connected to each other via the rotation axis (RA1), the power belt (PB) can maintain a horizontal direction on the user's back without twisting, even if the user's arm, shoulder, and torso move.

[0087] In addition, the golf swing posture aid (1000) further includes a first belt adjustment part (300) that adjusts the tension of the first belt (AB), so that when the user is not using the golf swing posture aid (1000), the tension of the first belt (AB) is lowered so that the user can have a comfortable physical condition without taking off the golf swing posture aid (1000).

[0088] FIG. 10 is a drawing showing the upper member (110), lower member (120A), and sliding plate (SDA) of the power belt connection part (100A) of a golf swing posture aid (1000) according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0089] The golf swing posture aid according to the present embodiment is substantially the same as the golf swing posture aid described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9, except that the power belt connecting part (100) includes a flexible band instead of a spring (SP). Therefore, the same reference numbers are used for identical or similar components, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0090] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 6 to 10, the power belt connecting portion (100) may include an upper member (110), a lower member (120A) coupled to the upper member (110), and a sliding plate (SDA) that is directly connected to the power belt (PB) and slides within a space defined by the upper member (110) and the lower member (120A).

[0091] The upper surface of the power belt connection part (100) may have a bending structure in which the height decreases from the center toward both sides. Alternatively, the upper surface of the power belt connection part (100) may have a curved structure in which the height gradually decreases from the center toward both sides.

[0092] The upper member (110) and the lower member (120A) may be joined by a screw. However, the method of joining the upper member (110) and the lower member (120A) is not limited thereto.

[0093] The lower member (120A) may include a bottom plate (121) and a side wall (122) extending upward from the bottom plate (121). The side wall (122) may include a first protrusion (P1) and a second protrusion (P2).

[0094] The sliding plate (SDA) may not escape outside the space defined by the upper member (110) and the lower member (120A) by means of the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2).

[0095] The power belt (PB) can enter and exit the empty space defined between the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2).

[0096] In this embodiment, the power belt connection part (100) may further include a flexible band (FB) comprising a first end connected to the sliding plate (SDA) and a second end connected to the side wall (122).

[0097] For example, when the user is not swinging, the flexible band (FB) is not extended, so the sliding plate (SDA) can be positioned as shown in FIG. 10. On the other hand, when the user is swinging, the power belt (PB) is pulled, so the flexible band (FB) is also extended, and the sliding plate (SDA) can come into contact with the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2). When the sliding plate (SDA) is in contact with the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2), the power belt (PB) is pulled to assist the user's swing motion.

[0098] The above sliding plate (SDA) may include a first sliding plate (SD1) and a second sliding plate (SD2) facing the first sliding plate (SD1). The power belt (PB) and the flexible band (FB) may be fitted between the first sliding plate (SD1) and the second sliding plate (SD2). The second sliding plate (SD2), the power belt (PB), and the first sliding plate (SD1) may be joined by a first screw (SC1). The second sliding plate (SD2), the flexible band (FB), and the first sliding plate (SD1) may be joined by a second screw (SC2).

[0099] According to the present embodiment, the golf swing posture aid (1000) includes a power belt connection part (100) connected to the power belt (PB). Through the sliding plate (SDA) disposed within the power belt connection part (100) and the flexible band (FB) that pulls the sliding plate (SDA), the power belt (PB) is closely attached to the user's back, thereby preventing twisting, sagging, and stretching of the power belt (PB), and thus improving the function and aesthetics of the golf swing posture aid (1000).

[0100] Additionally, the golf swing posture aid (1000) includes a first belt connecting plate (200) connected to the first belt (AB), and the first belt connecting plate (200) is connected to the power belt connecting part (100) via a rotation axis (RA1). Since the first belt connecting plate (200) and the power belt connecting part (100) are connected to each other via the rotation axis (RA1), the power belt (PB) can maintain a horizontal direction on the user's back without twisting, even if the user's arm, shoulder, and torso move.

[0101] In addition, the golf swing posture aid (1000) further includes a first belt adjustment part (300) that adjusts the tension of the first belt (AB), so that when the user is not using the golf swing posture aid (1000), the tension of the first belt (AB) is lowered so that the user can have a comfortable physical condition without taking off the golf swing posture aid (1000).

[0102] FIG. 11 is a drawing showing a golf swing posture aid (1000B) according to embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 12 is a drawing showing a power belt (PB), a power belt connection part (100B), a first belt (AB), a first belt connection plate (200), a first belt adjustment part (300), and a power adjustment part (400) of the golf swing posture aid (1000B) of FIG. 11. FIG. 13 is a drawing showing an upper member (110), a lower member (120B), and a sliding plate (SDB) of the power belt connection part (100B) of FIG. 12, and a power adjustment part (400) of FIG. 12. FIG. 14 is a drawing showing a power spring plate (PSB) of FIG. 13.

[0103] The golf swing posture aid according to the present embodiment further includes a power adjustment unit (400), and except that the power belt connection unit (100B) includes a flexible band (FB) instead of a spring (SP), it is substantially the same as the golf swing posture aid described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9; therefore, the same reference numbers are used for identical or similar components, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0104] Referring to FIGS. 1, FIGS. 6 to 9 and FIGS. 11 to 14, the power belt connecting portion (100B) may include an upper member (110), a lower member (120B) coupled to the upper member (110), and a sliding plate (SDB) that is directly connected to the power belt (PB) and slides within a space defined by the upper member (110) and the lower member (120B).

[0105] The upper surface of the power belt connection part (100B) may have a bending structure in which the height decreases from the center toward both sides. Alternatively, the upper surface of the power belt connection part (100B) may have a curved structure in which the height gradually decreases from the center toward both sides.

[0106] The upper member (110) and the lower member (120B) may be joined by a screw. However, the method of joining the upper member (110) and the lower member (120B) is not limited thereto.

[0107] The lower member (120B) may include a bottom plate (121) and a side wall (122) extending upward from the bottom plate (121). The side wall (122) may include a first protrusion (P1) and a second protrusion (P2).

[0108] The above sliding plate (SDB) may not escape outside the space defined by the upper member (110) and the lower member (120B) by means of the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2).

[0109] The power belt (PB) can enter and exit the empty space defined between the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2).

[0110] In this embodiment, the power belt connection part (100B) may further include a flexible band (FB) comprising a first end connected to the sliding plate (SDB) and a second end connected to the side wall (122).

[0111] For example, when the user is not swinging, the flexible band (FB) is not extended, so the sliding plate (SDB) can be positioned as shown in FIG. 10. On the other hand, when the user is swinging, the power belt (PB) is pulled, so the flexible band (FB) is also extended, and the sliding plate (SDB) can come into contact with the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2). When the sliding plate (SDB) is in contact with the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2), the power belt (PB) is pulled to assist the user's swing motion.

[0112] The above sliding plate (SDB) may include a first sliding plate (SD1) and a second sliding plate (SD2) facing the first sliding plate (SD1). The power belt (PB) and the flexible band (FB) may be fitted between the first sliding plate (SD1) and the second sliding plate (SD2). The second sliding plate (SD2), the power belt (PB), and the first sliding plate (SD1) may be joined by a first screw (SC1). The second sliding plate (SD2), the flexible band (FB), and the first sliding plate (SD1) may be joined by a second screw (SC2).

[0113] In this embodiment, the golf swing posture assist device (1000B) may further include a power control unit (400) that is connected to the sliding plate (SDB) and controls the position of the sliding plate (SDB).

[0114] The power belt connection part (100B) may further include a power spring plate (PSB), a first power spring (PS1) connected to the power spring plate (PSB) and the sliding plate (SDB), and a second power spring (PS2) connected to the power spring plate (PSB) and the sliding plate (SDB).

[0115] The above golf swing posture aid (1000B) may further include a power control line (410) connecting the power spring plate (PSB) and the power control unit (400).

[0116] In this embodiment, the power belt connection part (100B) is exemplified as including two power springs (PS1, PS2), but the power belt connection part (100B) may include three or more power springs.

[0117] The power spring plate (PSB) may include a first power spring hole disposed on the first side of the power spring plate (PSB) and connected to the first power spring (PS1), a second power spring hole disposed on the first side of the power spring plate (PSB) and connected to the second power spring (PS2), and a first power control line hole and a second power control line hole disposed on the second side of the power spring plate (PSB) through which the power control line (410) passes.

[0118] The power control line (410) passing through the first power control line hole and the second power control line hole can be connected to the power control unit (400) by passing through the third power control line hole and the fourth power control line hole formed in the side wall (122) of the lower member (120B) of the power belt connection unit (100B).

[0119] For example, if the power control unit (400) is turned in one direction, the length of the power control line (410) is reduced, and the position of the power spring plate (PSB) can be positioned closer to the power control unit (400).

[0120] When the position of the power spring plate (PSB) is positioned in a direction close to the power control unit (400), the force pulling the first power spring (PS1) and the second power spring (PS2) must be applied to the maximum extent so that the sliding plate (SDB) moves to the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2). Therefore, if the power control unit (400) is rotated in one direction, the force applied to the power belt (PB) can be made stronger.

[0121] For example, if the power control unit (400) is lifted upward, the power control line (410) is released, and the power spring plate (PSB) may not be fixed in a position close to the power control unit (400).

[0122] If the power spring plate (PSB) is not fixed in a position close to the power control unit (400), the force pulling the first power spring (PS1) and the second power spring (PS2) to move the sliding plate (SDB) to the first protrusion (P1) and the second protrusion (P2) is relatively reduced. Therefore, when the power control unit (400) is lifted upward, the force applied to the power belt (PB) can be relatively weakened.

[0123] Rotating or lifting the power control unit (400) upward is merely an example, and the power control unit (400) can change the force applied to the power belt (PB) by adjusting the length of the power control line (410) in various ways.

[0124] According to the present embodiment, the golf swing posture aid (1000B) includes a power belt connection part (100B) connected to the power belt (PB). Through the sliding plate (SDB) disposed within the power belt connection part (100B) and the flexible band (FB) that pulls the sliding plate (SDB), the power belt (PB) is closely attached to the user's back, thereby preventing twisting, sagging, and stretching of the power belt (PB), and thus improving the function and aesthetics of the golf swing posture aid (1000B).

[0125] Additionally, the golf swing posture aid (1000B) includes a first belt connecting plate (200) connected to the first belt (AB), and the first belt connecting plate (200) is connected to the power belt connecting part (100B) via a rotation axis (RA1). Since the first belt connecting plate (200) and the power belt connecting part (100B) are connected to each other via the rotation axis (RA1), the power belt (PB) can maintain a horizontal direction on the user's back without twisting, even if the user's arm, shoulder, and torso move.

[0126] In addition, the golf swing posture aid (1000B) further includes a first belt adjustment part (300) that adjusts the tension of the first belt (AB), so that when the user is not using the golf swing posture aid (1000B), the tension of the first belt (AB) is lowered so that the user can have a comfortable physical condition without taking off the golf swing posture aid (1000B).

[0127] In addition, the golf swing posture assist device (1000B) further includes a power control unit (400) for adjusting the elastic force of power springs (PS1, PS2) disposed within the power belt connection unit (100B), so that when a user swings, the magnitude of the force applied to the power belt (PB) and the power springs (PS1, PS2) can be controlled.

[0128] FIG. 15 is a drawing showing a second rotation axis (RA2) and a second rotation axis fixing part (RF2) connecting a lower member (120C) and a first belt connecting plate (200C) of a power belt connecting part (100) of a golf swing posture assisting device (1000) according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0129] The golf swing posture aid according to the present embodiment is substantially the same as the golf swing posture aid described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9, except that it includes a second rotation axis (RA2) and a second rotation axis fixing part (RF2) instead of a first rotation axis (RA1) and a second rotation axis fixing part (RF1). Therefore, the same reference numbers are used for identical or similar components, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0130] Referring to FIGS. 1 through 6, FIGS. 8, FIGS. 9, and FIGS. 15, a golf swing posture aid (1000) includes a first belt (AB), a second belt (SB), a power belt (PB), a power belt connecting part (100), and a first belt connecting plate (200C).

The power belt (PB) is connected to the second belt (SB) and passes over the back of the user. The power belt connecting part (100) is connected to the power belt (PB). The first belt connecting plate (200C) is connected to the first belt (AB). The power belt connecting part (100) and the first belt connecting plate (200C) are connected to rotate with each other through a rotation axis.

[0131] The above golf swing posture assist device (1000) may further include a second rotation axis (RA2) that protrudes downward from the bottom surface (121C) of the lower member (120C) of the power belt connection part (100) and penetrates a second rotation hole (RH2) formed in the first belt connection plate (200C), and a second rotation axis fixing part (RF2) that is coupled to the second rotation axis (RA2) at the bottom of the first belt connection plate (200C).

[0132] FIG. 15 is illustrated with the upper and lower parts flipped for convenience of explanation. In the present invention, the position of the power belt connection part (100) may be the upper part of the position of the first belt connection plate (200C), and the position where the second rotation axis fixing part (RF2) is shown in FIG. 15 may be the lower part, and the second rotation axis (RA2) may be protruding toward the lower part.

[0133] The combined structure of the second rotation axis (RA2) and the second rotation axis fixing part (RF2) of FIG. 15 can be applied not only to the embodiments of FIG. 1 to 9, but also to the embodiments of FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 to 14.

[0134] According to the present embodiment, the golf swing posture aid (1000) includes a power belt connection part (100) connected to the power belt (PB). Through the sliding plate (SD) disposed within the power belt connection part (100) and the spring (SP) or flexible band (FB) that pulls the sliding plate (SD), the power belt (PB) is brought into close contact with the user's back, thereby preventing twisting, sagging, and stretching of the power belt (PB), and thus improving the function and aesthetics of the golf swing posture aid (1000).

[0135] Additionally, the golf swing posture aid (1000) includes a first belt connecting plate (200C) connected to the first belt (AB), and the first belt connecting plate (200C) is connected to the power belt connecting part (100) via a rotation axis (RA2). Since the first belt connecting plate (200C) and the power belt connecting part (100) are connected to each other via the rotation axis (RA2), the power belt (PB) can maintain a horizontal direction on the user's back without twisting, even if the user's arm, shoulder, and torso move.

[0136] In addition, the golf swing posture aid (1000) further includes a first belt adjustment part (300) that adjusts the tension of the first belt (AB), so that when the user is not using the golf swing posture aid (1000), the tension of the first belt (AB) is lowered so that the user can have a comfortable physical condition without taking off the golf swing posture aid (1000).
