Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a golf swing trainer, and more specifically, to a golf swing trainer capable of preventing chicken wing while inducing a natural release motion. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, golf is a game in which a golf ball is put into the hole cup in the fewest strokes possible. It involves hitting the golf ball from the teeing ground using a driver or iron club, and taking several swings to send it through the fairway to the green where the hole cup is formed.

[0003] Although a golf swing is a single motion for hitting the ball, it is divided into a total of seven stages: address, backswing, backswing top, downswing, impact, follow-through, and finish. In golf, the release refers to the process during the downswing where the wrists unwind and the club head naturally moves toward the ball and accelerates. If the release is executed properly, the ball receives a strong impact and flies straight and far; however, if the release timing is off—specifically, if the left elbow pulls back during the release to form a shape resembling a chicken wing, known as a "chicken wing"—mistaken shots such as slices or hooks will occur.

[0004] To prevent this chicken wing, one must learn to swing with a light grip and the feeling of the wrist naturally releasing; however, it is difficult for amateur golfers to perform a natural release motion while relaxed. The problem to be solved

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a golf swing trainer that induces a natural release motion that does not cause a chicken wing even when the user holds it lightly and swings with their hands relaxed. means of solving the problem

[0006] The golf swing trainer of the present invention for achieving the above objective comprises: a swing-guiding body forming a plate shape having a predetermined length and thickness; and a shaft held by a user while being integral with the swing-guiding body; wherein the swing-guiding body comprises a first swing-guiding plate formed in one direction from the shaft and a second swing-guiding plate formed in the opposite direction from the shaft, wherein the first swing-guiding plate is formed to have a greater width than the second swing-guiding plate and is positioned such that one edge spaced apart from the shaft is inclined downward when the user takes an address motion.

[0007] In addition, the width of the first swing guide plate may be at least twice the width of the second swing guide plate.

[0008] In addition, when the user takes an addressing action, the front surface of the first swing guide plate facing forward and the front surface of the second swing guide plate may be formed to form an obtuse angle.

[0009] In addition, the shaft comprises a gripping part that is grasped by a user, a body coupling part to which a swing-inducing body is integrally coupled, and an elastic member that can be elastically bent according to the user's swing and connects the gripping part and the body coupling part to each other, wherein the elastic member is formed in the shape of a bar or rod having a predetermined left-right width and front-back width, and the front-back width is formed to be relatively shorter than the left-right width so that the main bending can occur in the front-back width direction.

[0010] In addition, the elastic member may be positioned so that its left-right width direction forms an acute angle with the front surface of the first swing guide plate, and slopes downward toward the front when the user takes an address action. Effects of the invention

[0011] According to the present invention, by means of a first swing guide plate formed to have a wider width than a second swing guide plate, the swing guide body rotates together with the shaft in a counterclockwise direction around the shaft during the process from the downswing to the follow-through motion, thereby inducing wrist rotation that prevents chicken winging, and thereby inducing a natural release motion.

[0012] In addition, as the first swing guide plate and the second swing guide plate form an obtuse angle, the upward lifting of the swing guide body is induced during the backswing, thereby making the backswing lighter.

[0013] And through an elastic member that generates elastic bending during the follow-through process after the moment of impact, a natural release motion can be more easily induced even if the user grips lightly and swings with relaxed hands. Brief explanation of the drawing

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0015] The present invention proposes a golf swing trainer comprising: a swing-guiding body formed in the shape of a plate having a predetermined length and thickness so as to induce a natural release motion that does not cause a chicken wing even when the user grips it lightly and swings it with the force removed; and a shaft that is integral with the swing-guiding body and is gripped by the user; wherein the swing-guiding body comprises a first swing-guiding plate formed in one direction from the shaft and a second swing-guiding plate formed in the opposite direction from the shaft, and wherein the first swing-guiding plate is formed to have a wider width than the second swing-guiding plate, and when the user takes an address motion, one edge spaced apart from the shaft is positioned to be inclined downward.

[0016] The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical essence of the present invention.

[0017] Hereinafter, the golf swing trainer of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0019] The golf swing trainer of the present invention includes a swing-inducing body (100) and a shaft (200) as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and is configured so that a natural release can be achieved when swinging while holding the shaft (200).

[0020] The swing-inducing body (100) preferably forms a plate shape having a predetermined length and thickness and is formed of a material (e.g., wood, synthetic resin, etc.) that allows the user to feel a predetermined weight. The swing-inducing body (100) has a structure formed on both sides centered on the shaft (200) and includes a first swing-inducing plate (110) formed in one direction from the shaft (200) and a second swing-inducing plate (120) formed in the opposite direction from the shaft (200) to the first swing-inducing plate (110).

[0021] The first swing guide plate (110) and the second swing guide plate (120) may each be formed in the shape of a rectangular plate as shown in FIG. 2 when viewed from the front, for example, and may be arranged so that the length direction is parallel to the length direction of the shaft (200) and the width direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the shaft (200). Additionally, the first swing guide plate (110) and the second swing guide plate (120) may each be formed such that the total thickness corresponds to or is somewhat larger than the diameter of the shaft (200), but in order to induce easy movement and natural wrist rotation during swinging, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner edge portion in contact with the shaft (200) is formed such that it has a thickness that corresponds to or is somewhat larger than the diameter of the shaft (200), and the thickness is formed such that it gradually decreases as it moves toward the outer edge portion spaced apart from the shaft (200).

[0022] And when the user takes an address motion, the first swing guide plate (110) is positioned such that one edge spaced apart from the shaft (200) is inclined downward, and the front surface is positioned vertically or close to vertically. In the process from the downswing to the follow-through motion, the first swing guide plate (110) has less resistance to airflow on one edge (outer edge) compared to the other edge (inner edge), so as shown in FIG. 6, the swing guide body (100) rotates counterclockwise with the shaft (200) around the shaft (200), thereby inducing wrist rotation that prevents chicken wing.

[0023] This first swing guide plate (110) is formed to have a wider width than the second swing guide plate (120) so that the swing guide body (100) can easily rotate in a counterclockwise direction. For example, it is preferable that the first swing guide plate (110) be formed to have a width that is at least twice the width of the second swing guide plate (120) so that it can be affected by the airflow more than twice as much as the second swing guide plate (120). However, in order to prevent the counterclockwise rotation of the swing guide body (100) from occurring at too fast a speed, it is more preferable that the width of the first swing guide plate (110) be within five times the width of the second swing guide plate (120).

[0024] And when the user takes an address action, the front surface of the first swing guide plate (110) facing forward and the front surface of the second swing guide plate (120) may be formed to form an obtuse angle with each other, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. That is, as the user takes an address action, when the first swing guide plate (110) is in a vertical or nearly vertical position, the front surface of the second swing guide plate (120) is in an upwardly inclined position toward the front.

[0025] The second swing guide plate (120) forms an obtuse angle with the first swing guide plate (110) on its rear side, just like its front side, and forms an upwardly inclined state toward the front. Accordingly, as the user transitions from an address motion to a backswing motion, the airflow generated from the rear to the front is faster on the upper side of the second swing guide plate (120) than on the lower side of the first swing guide plate (110), so that the effect of lifting the swing guide body (100) upward can be obtained, and the backswing can be performed more lightly.

[0026] Meanwhile, the shaft (200) is formed in the shape of a rod longer than the length of the swing-guiding body (100) and is coupled to form an integral part with the swing-guiding body (100). It can be provided such that one end does not protrude beyond the swing-guiding body (100) while penetrating the portion where the first swing-guiding plate (110) and the second swing-guiding plate (120) are interconnected in the swing-guiding body (100). This shaft (200) can be gripped by a user, and a grip made of a material having a certain level of friction, such as rubber, may be provided to prevent slipping when the user grips and swings.

[0027] The shaft (200) in the present invention may be configured to have elastic bending so as to induce a natural release motion, and, as an example, may include a gripping part (210), a main body coupling part (220), and an elastic member (230) as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0028] The gripping portion (210) is a part that the user grips, and may be equipped with the grip described above. The main body coupling portion (220) is formed in the shape of a rod longer than the swing-guiding main body (100) and penetrates the swing-guiding main body (100) so that the swing-guiding main body (100) can be integrally coupled. The elastic member (230) connects the gripping portion (210) and the main body coupling portion (220) to each other and is configured to allow elastic bending according to the user's swing.

[0029] The elastic member (230) is formed in the shape of a bar or rod having a predetermined vertical length, horizontal width, and vertical width, and is made of an elastic material. The vertical width is formed to be relatively shorter than the horizontal width so that the main bending occurs in the vertical width direction. The upper and lower ends of the elastic member (230) are connected to the gripping part (210) and the main body coupling part (220), respectively, and the cross-section may be formed to be rectangular, elliptical, etc., so that the vertical width is relatively shorter than the horizontal width. Additionally, when the vertical width and horizontal width of the elastic member (230) are formed to be the same, multiple elastic members (230) may be arranged adjacently in the horizontal width direction, so that when viewing the multiple elastic members (230) as a whole, the vertical width may be formed to be relatively shorter than the horizontal width.

[0030] These elastic members (230) are positioned so that bending is suppressed from the address position to the backswing and from the top of the backswing to the downswing as shown in FIG. 4 and 5, and elastic bending can occur instantaneously when taking a follow-through motion as shown in FIG. 6 after impact, thereby inducing the user to perform a natural release motion.

[0031] That is, the elastic member (230) can be positioned so that its width direction forms an acute angle with the front of the first swing guide plate (110) as shown in FIG. 3, and slopes downward toward the front when the user takes an address action. At this time, the angle formed by the width direction of the elastic member (230) and the front of the first swing guide plate (110) may be approximately 20 to 50°.

[0032] When a user holds the golf swing trainer of the present invention, which includes an elastic member (230) on a shaft (200), and assumes an address position, the width direction of the elastic member (230) becomes parallel to the backswing trajectory when performing a backswing as shown in FIG. 7a, and the width direction of the elastic member (230) also becomes parallel to the backswing trajectory when performing a downswing from the top of the backswing, thereby suppressing the bending of the elastic member (230). Then, when the swing-guiding body (100) rotates counterclockwise due to the first swing-guiding plate (110) during the process of the follow-through after passing the moment of impact, the direction perpendicular or near-perpendicular to the left-right width direction of the elastic member (230) becomes parallel to the follow-through trajectory as shown in FIG. 7b, thus causing bending of the elastic member (230). At this time, since the elastic member (230) bends so that one end of the shaft (200), that is, one end of the main body coupling part (220), is positioned forward and upward relative to the gripping part (210), a natural release motion can be induced more easily even when swinging with the force removed.
