Description

Golf Swing Trainer

[0001] The present invention relates to a golf swing trainer. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf swing trainer that can accurately visualize the impact area along with the golf swing trajectory through a moisture release path released from a moisture absorbent, thereby enabling accurate understanding and correction of the golf swing motion.

[0002] Recently, with the increase in the leisure activity population, the golf population base has expanded and people have become deeply interested in golf.

[0003] As with other sports, golf requires basic form to improve skills, so beginners improve their skills through the learning effects of expert instruction and repetitive training.

[0004] The basics of golf are to maintain a stable balance and posture during the address and swing, and to efficiently operate the flexibility and dynamics of the body. Therefore, golfers need to receive diagnosis and correction of their address and swing posture from experts to learn the basics.

[0005] Most golfers hope their stable address and swing posture will produce smooth, excellent shots, but achieving this requires a significant investment of time and money. For these practical reasons, many golfers lack the opportunity to systematically correct their faulty golf swing posture.

[0006] Therefore, most golfers correct their swing posture by practicing their swing on their own and using mirrors, etc., rather than through professional clinics.

[0007] Recently, various types of golf swing trainers have been developed to facilitate efficient golf swing practice. Most golf swing trainers feature features that allow the user to feel the weight of the golf head during the swing or that shift the weight at impact to generate a sound.

[0008] These general golf swing trainers only provide simple impact sounds, etc., and thus do not provide users with visual information such as swing trajectory or exact impact location, making it difficult to perform accurate golf swing practice and swing correction.

[0009] Domestic Publication Utility Model No. 20-2012-0007879 discloses a method of visually indicating a golf swing trajectory using a laser or water. However, even in this case, not only is the swing trajectory not accurately indicated, but there is also the problem that it is not efficient for golf swing practice because it is impossible to visually indicate the impact location.

[0010] The present invention was invented to solve the problems of the prior art, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a golf swing training device that can accurately visually display the impact area together with the golf swing trajectory through a moisture release path, thereby accurately identifying and correcting the golf swing motion.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing training device that can display swing motions in a more detailed and precise form for various golf swings, thereby enabling more accurate understanding and correction of golf swings.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf swing training device that increases the lower weight of the shaft body so that the weight of the head can be felt during golf swing training and swing training can be performed more efficiently.

[0013] The present invention provides a golf swing training device characterized by including a shaft body having a grip portion formed at the upper end; and a moisture absorption module coupled to the lower end of the shaft body and mounted so as to protrude downward in a form in which a moisture absorbent capable of absorbing moisture is exposed to the outside.

[0014] At this time, the golf swing training device may be a swing training device exclusively for drivers and irons.

[0015] At this time, the moisture absorbent may be arranged along the length direction of the shaft body at the lower end of the shaft body and may include a plurality of fiber members forming a bundle.

[0016] Additionally, the moisture absorbent may be arranged such that a plurality of fiber members form a cylindrical bundle.

[0017] Additionally, the shaft body may have a length that prevents the moisture absorbent from contacting the ground during a golf swing.

[0018] In addition, the moisture absorbent can be configured so that the moisture release pattern varies depending on the deformation of the moisture absorbent itself during the golf swing process, so that the user can check the trajectory of the water droplets drawn on the ground to see whether his or her swing is from out to in or from in to out, and the impact area can be checked through the scatter diagram of the water droplets.

[0019] In addition, the moisture absorption module includes the moisture absorbent and a coupling body coupled to the lower end of the shaft body, and the moisture absorbent may have one end of the fiber member fixedly coupled to the lower end surface of the coupling body.

[0020] Additionally, the coupling body can be detachably coupled to the shaft body.

[0021] In addition, the moisture absorption modules are provided in multiple numbers to have different shapes, and the multiple moisture absorption modules are formed in a form in which fiber members of different lengths or different numbers are combined with each of the combined bodies, and any one of the multiple moisture absorption modules can be selectively combined with the shaft body.

[0022] According to the present invention, by mounting a moisture absorbent that absorbs moisture on the lower part of the shaft body, the golf swing trajectory and impact area can be accurately visually displayed through moisture released from the moisture absorbent during a swing, thereby having the effect of accurately identifying and correcting the golf swing motion.

[0023] More specifically, the user can check the trajectory of the water droplets drawn on the ground during the swing to see whether their swing is from outside to inside or inside to outside. By repeating this swing multiple times, the user can also visually and accurately check the impact area through the concentration (dispersion) of the water droplets drawn on the ground at a consistent rate. This can enable monitoring of one's swing trajectory on the spot, which can have the effect of quickly correcting the swing motion.

[0024] In addition, since the moisture release pattern occurs differently depending on the deformation of the moisture absorbent itself during the golf swing process, it is possible to display a more detailed and precise pattern for various golf swings, which has the effect of allowing for more detailed and accurate understanding and correction of the golf swing.

[0025] In addition, the user of the golf swing training device according to the present invention can practice swings without being restricted by time or place or with minimal restrictions.

[0026] In addition, by installing a moisture absorbing body at the bottom of the shaft body, the weight of the bottom of the shaft body increases, allowing the weight of the head to be felt during golf swing practice, which has the effect of making swing practice more efficient.

[0031] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. First, when assigning reference numerals to components in each drawing, it should be noted that, where possible, identical components are assigned the same reference numerals even if they appear in different drawings. Furthermore, when describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of known related structures or functions will be omitted if they are deemed to obscure the gist of the present invention.

[0032] FIG. 1 is a drawing schematically illustrating the external appearance of a golf swing training device according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a drawing exemplarily illustrating a method of using a golf swing training device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a drawing exemplarily illustrating a swing trajectory and impact position displayed through a golf swing training device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] A golf swing trainer according to one embodiment of the present invention is a device that visually displays a swing trajectory and an impact position during a golf swing training process, and is configured to include a shaft body (100) and a moisture absorption module (200). Here, the golf swing trainer may be a golf swing trainer exclusively for a driver and / or iron.

[0034] The shaft body (100) can be formed to be long in one direction in the same shape as the shaft of a golf club, and a grip portion (110) that a user can hold with his / her hand is formed at the top.

[0035] The moisture absorption module (200) is coupled to the lower end of the shaft body (100) and a moisture absorbent (210) capable of absorbing moisture is mounted so as to protrude downward while being exposed to the outside. More specifically, the moisture absorption module (200) may be configured to include a coupling body (220) coupled to the lower end of the shaft body (100) and a moisture absorbent (210) fixedly coupled to the lower surface of the coupling body (220).

[0036] The moisture absorbent (210) can be formed in various shapes capable of absorbing moisture, and for example, can be manufactured using porous materials such as sponges and cotton. The moisture absorbent (210) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be formed in the shape of a plurality of fiber members (211) arranged along the longitudinal direction of the shaft body (100) and forming a bundle. At this time, the plurality of fiber members (211) can be arranged to form a cylindrical bundle, and the fiber members (211) can be applied with various fiber products such as thread or fur manufactured chemically or using natural materials.

[0037] The moisture absorbent (210) manufactured in the form of a bundle of multiple fiber members (211) in this way can be applied in the form of a traditionally used "brush" and can be manufactured in the same manner as a brush is manufactured. For example, the moisture absorbent (210) can be formed to form a cylindrical bundle, and a relatively long and rigid fiber member can be applied to the center of the cylindrical bundle, and a relatively short and low rigid fiber member can be applied to the outer region, and through this, the fiber member (211) of the cylindrical bundle can be formed in a form in which the central end forms a cutting edge, and a plurality of fiber members (211) are gathered at the central end of the cylindrical bundle.

[0038] In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a golf swing training device has a brush-shaped moisture absorbent (210) attached to the lower end of a shaft body (100), so that when the shaft body (100) is swung with moisture absorbed into the moisture absorbent (210), the moisture absorbed into the moisture absorbent (210) is released from the moisture absorbent (210) by centrifugal force and falls to the ground, and a golf swing trajectory is displayed through this moisture drop mark.

[0039] At this time, since the moisture absorber (210) is formed in a cylindrical bundle shape with the central end forming a sharp tip, the moisture released from the moisture absorber (210) during the golf swing process is concentrated and guided to the central end of the moisture absorber (210) and released, so that the moisture release path is maintained constant and the swing trajectory can be displayed more accurately.

[0040] Looking more closely at the process of using a golf swing trainer according to one embodiment of the present invention, first, the user wets the moisture absorbent (210) with water and allows the moisture absorbent (210) to absorb water. In this state, when the user holds the grip portion (110) of the shaft body (100) and swings, water is discharged from the moisture absorbent (210) by the centrifugal force generated during the swing process. At this time, the water is discharged along the swing trajectory and falls to the ground (E), so that the swing trajectory is indicated on the ground (E) by the water drop marks.

[0041] At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the amount of water discharged increases in the impact zone (Z2), which is a close section before and after the impact area (Z1), which is the striking point of the golf ball. Generally, during a golf swing, deceleration occurs at the time of impact or just before impact, and after the impact, a release process is performed and then a follow-through process is performed. Therefore, until the impact zone (Z2) is reached during the downswing process, the end of the moisture absorber (210) is maintained in a state of being bent in the opposite direction of the swing rotation direction due to inertia, as illustrated by the dotted line in FIG. 2, and when the impact zone (Z2) is reached, the end of the moisture absorber (210) momentarily changes in a direction parallel to the shaft body (100) along with the swing deceleration. During this change process of the moisture absorber (210), a relatively large centrifugal force acts, so that more water is discharged toward the ground (E). Of course, depending on the user's swing form, the end of the moisture absorber (210) may remain bent in the opposite direction of the swing rotation until the point of impact, in which case no increase in the amount of water released may occur in the section before the impact area (Z1).

[0042] At the point of impact, a large amount of water from the moisture absorber (210) is released to the ground (E) by centrifugal force, making the impact area (Z1) a relatively wide area.

[0043] The amount of water absorbed in the moisture absorber (210) remains relatively high until immediately after the impact, even after the impact point has passed. That is, the amount of water released increases in the impact section (Z2), which is the section immediately before and after the impact area (Z1), so that the swing trajectory and the impact area (Z1) are displayed more clearly. After the impact section (Z2) has passed, the swing rotation speed of the lower part of the shaft body (100) increases during the follow-through process, so that the end of the moisture absorber (210) may change into a form in which it bends in the swing rotation direction due to inertia, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 2, and accordingly, the amount of water released toward the ground (E) is reduced.

[0044] In this way, according to the principle of water being released from the moisture absorber (210) during the golf swing process, after the golf swing, a moisture release path (T) and an impact area (Z1) according to the swing trajectory are displayed on the ground (E) in the impact section (Z2) as shown in FIG. 3.

[0045] Since the impact area (Z1) has a relatively wide area, the user can determine the impact area (Z1) by himself / herself during the golf swing process through this moisture release form, and the golf swing trajectory can be clearly confirmed through the moisture release path (T) which is more clearly indicated by the increase in moisture release amount in the impact section (Z2). For example, as shown in (a) of Fig. 3, after multiple golf swings, multiple moisture release paths (T) and impact areas (Z1) can be confirmed, and through this, the user can correct the golf swing by himself / herself.

[0046] Meanwhile, with respect to the impact area (Z1), if the impact area (Z1) having a relatively wide area is formed long along the swing trajectory as shown in (b) of FIG. 3, this means that the impact motion is long along the ground (E), and thus, the accuracy of the impact motion of the golf swing can be checked and corrected through this moisture release form.

[0047] In addition, as shown in (c) of FIG. 3, the out-in swing trajectory can be confirmed through the moisture release path (T), or as shown in (d) of FIG. 3, the in-out swing trajectory can be confirmed, thereby allowing one to more accurately determine one's golf swing path.

[0048] The moisture release path of the moisture absorber (210) described above is an example of one golf swing motion, and since the shape of the golf swing is different for each user, the golf swing training device according to one embodiment of the present invention will display various moisture release paths (T) on the ground (E) according to the shape of the golf swing, and the user can more clearly check the accuracy of the golf swing through the moisture release path (T) displayed on the ground.

[0049] In addition to the rotation of the moisture absorber (210) that is formed integrally with the rotation of the shaft body (100) during the golf swing process, as described above, the moisture absorber (210) itself undergoes bending deformation due to centrifugal force and inertial force in the impact section (Z2), so that the moisture release path (T) can be displayed in more diverse forms. For example, the amount of moisture released can change depending on the swing section due to the bending deformation of the moisture absorber (210) itself, and through this, the thickness of the moisture release path (T) can be displayed differently depending on the swing section. By displaying the moisture release path (T) in various forms in this way, a more detailed and precise display is possible for various golf swings, so that the golf swing can be more accurately understood and corrected.

[0050] As illustrated in FIG. 2, when swinging in a manner in which the moisture absorber (210) does not touch the ground (E), very little moisture is released from the moisture absorber (210) toward the ground (E) during the downswing section, and the amount of moisture released from the moisture absorber (210) increases due to centrifugal force in the impact zone (Z1) where the impact occurs. Due to this increase in the amount of moisture released, a relatively wide impact zone (Z1) is displayed on the ground (E), and through this, the user can identify his or her impact zone. In addition, as described above, the amount of moisture released relatively increases in the impact zone (Z1), which is the section before and after the impact zone (Z1), so that the swing trajectory can be displayed on the ground more clearly, unlike other swing sections.

[0051] Accordingly, the golf swing training device according to one embodiment of the present invention not only displays the swing trajectory on the ground (E) by releasing moisture according to the golf swing trajectory during the golf swing process, but also clearly displays the impact area (Z1) on the ground (E) as being different from other areas due to an increase in the amount of moisture released in the impact area.

[0052] Meanwhile, in the golf swing training device according to one embodiment of the present invention, since the moisture absorber (210) located at the bottom of the shaft body (100) absorbs moisture, the weight of the bottom of the shaft body (100) increases, and accordingly, the weight of the head can be sufficiently felt during a golf swing, so that in addition to the function of displaying the swing trajectory, the golf swing training function can also be further strengthened.

[0053] FIG. 4 is a drawing exemplarily illustrating a method for replacing a moisture absorption module of a golf swing training device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] A moisture absorption module (200) of a golf swing trainer according to one embodiment of the present invention includes, as described above, a coupling body (220) coupled to the lower end of a shaft main body (100), and a moisture absorber (210) coupled to the lower surface of the coupling body (220). At this time, the coupling body (220) may be formed to be detachably coupled to the shaft main body (100). For example, it may be formed in various ways, such as a screw fastening method or a fitting method.

[0055] In addition, a plurality of moisture absorption modules (200) may be provided to have different shapes, and each moisture absorption module (200, 200') may be formed in a form in which fiber members (210, 210') of different lengths or different numbers are combined with each of the coupling bodies (220, 220').

[0056] For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 4, one moisture absorption module (200) may be formed in a form in which a plurality of fiber members (211) having relatively short lengths and a small number of fiber members are bundled together and joined to a coupling body (220), and as shown in (b) of FIG. 4, another moisture absorption module (200') may be formed in a form in which a plurality of fiber members (210') having relatively long lengths and a large number of fiber members are bundled together and joined to a coupling body (220').

[0057] In this way, by providing a plurality of moisture absorption modules (200) in different forms and configuring the length or number of moisture absorbers (210) for each moisture absorption module (200) differently, different types of moisture absorption modules (200) can be applied depending on the type of golf club. For example, in the case of a driver, a moisture absorption module (200) having a long fiber member (211) and a large number of moisture absorbers (210) can be combined and used with the shaft body (100), and in the case of an iron, a moisture absorption module (200) having a short fiber member (211) and a small number of moisture absorbers (210) can be combined and used with the shaft body (100).

Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are intended to illustrate rather than limit the technical idea of ​​the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of ​​the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
