Description

Golf swing sway prevention device

[0001] The present invention relates to a golf swing sway prevention device, and more particularly, to a golf swing sway prevention device that can be stably mounted on a user's golf shoes to correct the user's golf swing posture.

[0002] Generally, golf is a game in which players hit golf balls stationary on a course with a golf club into designated holes. After completing all designated holes, the number of strokes required to complete the course determines who wins.

[0003] Accordingly, in order for a golfer to use a golf club to send a golf ball to the appropriate location and direction, it is most important to swing the head of the golf club along the correct trajectory. This swing posture is divided into the stance, in which the golfer positions both feet at an appropriate distance from the ball; the address, in which the golf club is placed on the grass behind the ball and takes an appropriate posture to hit the ball; the backswing, in which the golf club is moved backward and lifted upward; the downswing, in which the golf club is pulled down to hit the ball in the backswing state; the impact, in which the head of the downswing golf club hits the ball; and the finish, in which the swing is completed by the golf club continuously pushing the ball due to inertia after hitting the ball. In order to perform this series of continuous movements, the center of the body must not be biased in one direction in order to achieve a stable and accurate swing.

[0004] However, for most amateur golfers, except for some professional players, as shown in (a) of Fig. 1, the center of gravity is excessively biased to the left and right during the swing, causing a so-called sway phenomenon that prevents a stable and accurate swing, making it difficult to send the golf ball in the intended direction.

[0005] To solve these problems, an anti-sway sock having the structure shown in (c) of Fig. 1 was developed.

[0006] However, in the case of sway prevention socks according to the prior art, the position of the uneven structure of the socks changes during the wearer's walking and shoe putting process, making it impossible to achieve a stable posture correction effect, and there was a very inconvenient problem of having to put on and take off the sway prevention socks every time a strike was made.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a technology that can solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional technology.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a golf swing sway prevention device that can be stably mounted on a user's golf shoes and correct the user's golf swing posture.

[0009] In order to achieve this purpose, a golf swing sway prevention device according to one aspect of the present invention may be configured to include a main body portion that is mounted in a form of surface contact with a portion of the lower surface of a user's shoe and has a structure that forms an incline so that the outside of the foot rises and the inside falls; a fixing portion that is mounted on both ends of the main body portion and has a structure that binds in a form that wraps around the user's shoe; and a tightening adjustment portion that is mounted on the fixing portion and can change the tightening length of the fixing portion.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main body may be configured to include a ground contact surface formed on a lower surface of the main body, a structure that makes surface contact with the ground, and made of a material having a predetermined amount of frictional force; an outer side surface forming an outer side structure of the main body; and a shoe contact surface formed on an upper surface of the main body, a structure that makes surface contact with a lower surface of a user's shoe, made of a material having a predetermined amount of frictional force, and having a plurality of uneven structures formed thereon.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main body may be configured to include a first pressure detection unit that is mounted on an inner end of the ground contact surface and detects a pressure value in real time; a second pressure detection unit that is mounted on an outer end of the ground contact surface and detects a pressure value in real time; and a warning generation unit that is mounted inside the main body and compares data detected from the first pressure detection unit and the second pressure detection unit in real time and generates a warning sound when a deviation of each pressure value detected from the first pressure detection unit and the second pressure detection unit exceeds a reference range.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main body may be configured to include a hinged fastening portion that is mounted on an inner end of the main body where the ground contact surface and the shoe contact surface are in contact with each other and has a structure that separates the shoe contact surface and the ground contact surface by a predetermined angle; a rotating handle that is held by a user's finger and has a structure that can rotate at the exact center of the outer side; a rotating shaft that is mounted inside the main body and transmits a rotating motion transmitted through the rotating handle to an inclination changing portion; and an inclination changing portion that is mounted between a lower surface of the shoe contact surface and an upper surface of the ground contact surface and has a structure that changes an angle between the shoe contact surface and the ground contact surface by the rotating motion of the rotating shaft.

[0013] In this case, the outer side and all other sides may be composed of a flexible material having a predetermined amount of elastic restoring force.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main body may be configured to include a flywheel that is mounted inside the main body and has a rotation axis parallel to a virtual straight line connecting the front and the rear of a shoe to be mounted, and is operated by a control signal of the control unit to provide an inertial force inward to the main body; and a control unit that is mounted inside the main body and compares data detected from a first pressure detection unit and a second pressure detection unit in real time, and when a deviation of each pressure value detected from the first pressure detection unit and the second pressure detection unit exceeds a reference range, controls the flywheel to rotate and provide an inertial force so as to restore the main body to the inward direction.

[0015]

[0016] As described above, according to the golf swing sway prevention device of the present invention, by having a main body, a fixing part, and a tightening adjustment part of a specific structure, the outside of the foot is inclined to rise and the inside is inclined to fall, and an inclined structure is provided on the outside to support the inclined foot, thereby preventing the sway phenomenon by forming the center of gravity of both feet inward, and further providing a golf swing sway prevention device that enables a stable and accurate swing.

[0029] Referring to these drawings, the golf swing sway prevention device (100) according to the present embodiment has a main body (110), a fixing part (120), and a tightening adjustment part (130) of a specific structure, thereby providing an incline so that the outer side of the foot rises and the inner side falls, and providing an incline structure on the outer side to support the incline foot, thereby forming the center of gravity of both feet inward, thereby preventing the sway phenomenon, and further providing a golf swing sway prevention device that enables a stable and accurate swing.

[0030] Hereinafter, each component of the golf swing sway prevention device (100) according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0031] FIG. 5 is a front view showing a golf swing sway prevention device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, the main body (110) of the golf swing sway prevention device (100) according to the present embodiment is mounted in a form that makes surface contact with a portion of the lower surface of the user's shoe, and has a structure that forms a slope so that the outer side of the foot rises and the inner side descends.

[0033] Specifically, the main body (110) may be configured to include a ground contact surface (111), an outer side surface (112), and a shoe contact surface (113) of a specific structure. The ground contact surface (111) is a structure formed on the lower surface of the main body (110), has a structure that makes surface contact with the ground, and is composed of a material having a predetermined amount of frictional force. The outer side surface (112) forms the outer side structure of the main body (110). In addition, the shoe contact surface (113) is a structure formed on the upper surface of the main body (110), has a structure that makes surface contact with the lower surface of a user's shoe, is composed of a material having a predetermined amount of frictional force, and has a plurality of uneven structures formed thereon.

[0034] At this time, it is desirable to change and apply the height of the main body (110) and the inclination angle of the shoe contact surface (113) in various ways according to the user's gender, height, weight, body type, and golf swing status.

[0035] The fixed part (120) according to this embodiment is mounted on both ends of the main body part (110) and has a structure that binds in a form that wraps around the user's shoes.

[0036] The tightening adjustment unit (130) according to the present embodiment is a configuration mounted on the fixed unit (120) and has a structure capable of changing the tightening length of the fixed unit (120). Specifically, the tightening adjustment unit (130) may employ a Velcro fastening structure, but is not limited thereto.

[0037] FIG. 6 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the golf swing sway prevention device shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is a longitudinal cross-sectional schematic view showing the inclination angle of the shoe contact surface being changed by operating the inclination changing part by operating the rotation handle of the golf swing sway prevention device shown in FIG. 6.

[0038] Referring to these drawings, the main body (110) according to the present embodiment may further include a first pressure detection unit (114), a second pressure detection unit (115), and a warning generating unit (116) that perform specific roles.

[0039] Specifically, the first pressure detection unit (114) is a configuration mounted on the inner end of the ground contact surface (111) and can detect a pressure value in real time. The second pressure detection unit (115) is a configuration mounted on the outer end of the ground contact surface (111) and can detect a pressure value in real time. The warning generating unit (116) is a configuration mounted on the inside of the main body (110) and compares data detected from the first pressure detection unit (114) and the second pressure detection unit (115) in real time, and can generate a warning sound when the deviation of each pressure value detected from the first pressure detection unit (114) and the second pressure detection unit (115) exceeds a reference range.

[0040] When the wearer's foot posture is tilted inward or outward, a deviation occurs in the pressure values ​​detected from the first pressure detection unit (114) and the second pressure detection unit (115), and when the deviation exceeds a preset standard range, a warning sound is generated to guide the wearer to recognize that the wearer's posture is disturbed. At this time, the sensitivity of the warning sound generation can be adjusted by changing the allowable standard range of the deviation.

[0041] In addition, the main body (110) according to the present embodiment may further include a hinge fastening portion (141), a rotating handle (142), a rotating shaft (143), and an incline changing portion (144) of a specific structure.

[0042] Specifically, the hinge fastening portion (141) is a structure that is mounted on the inner end of the main body (110) where the ground contact surface (111) and the shoe contact surface (113) are in contact with each other, and is a structure that separates the shoe contact surface (113) and the ground contact surface (111) by a predetermined angle. The rotating handle (142) is a structure that can be held by the user's finger and rotated at the exact center of the outer side (112). The rotating shaft (143) is mounted on the inside of the main body (110) and can transmit the rotating motion transmitted through the rotating handle (142) to the incline changing portion (144). The slope changing member (144) is a structure installed between the lower surface of the shoe contact surface (113) and the upper surface of the ground contact surface (111), and is a structure that changes the angle between the shoe contact surface (113) and the ground contact surface (111) by operating through the rotational motion of the rotating shaft (143). At this time, it is preferable that the outer side surface (112) and all other side surfaces be made of a flexible material having a predetermined amount of elastic restoring force.

[0043] In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the user can operate the incline changing unit (144) by holding and rotating the rotating handle (142) with a finger, and the incline changing unit (144) changes the angle between the shoe contact surface (113) and the ground contact surface (111). Consequently, the user can easily adjust the incline angle of the shoe contact surface (113) by using the rotating handle (142).

[0044] FIG. 8 shows a front view and a plan view showing a golf swing sway prevention device according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 shows a front view and a plan view showing a golf swing sway prevention device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] Referring to these drawings, the golf swing sway prevention device (100) according to the present embodiment can have a hinge fastening part (141), a rotating handle (142), a rotating shaft (143), and an inclination changing part (114) built into the inside of both A part and B part on a plane, which can operate independently, respectively.

[0046] In this case, the wearer can individually adjust the inclination angles of the shoes, both inside and outside, as well as the forward and backward inclination angles. It is desirable to vary these settings based on the user's gender, height, weight, body type, and golf swing condition.

[0047] In addition, the main body (110) according to the present embodiment may be configured to include a flywheel (151) and a control unit (153) of a specific structure.

[0048] Specifically, the flywheel (151) is a configuration mounted inside the main body (110), has a rotation axis (152) in a direction parallel to an imaginary straight line connecting the front and rear of the shoe to be mounted, and can provide inertial force in the inward direction to the main body (110) by operating by a control signal of the control unit (153).

[0049] In addition, the control unit (153) is a component mounted inside the main body (110), and compares data detected from the first pressure detection unit (114) and the second pressure detection unit (115) in real time, and when the deviation of each pressure value detected from the first pressure detection unit (114) and the second pressure detection unit (115) exceeds a reference range, it can control the flywheel (151) to rotate and provide inertial force so that the main body (110) can be restored inward.

[0050] In this case, when the wearer's foot posture is tilted inward or outward, a deviation occurs in the pressure values ​​detected by the first pressure detection unit (114) and the second pressure detection unit (115), and when the deviation exceeds a preset reference range, the flywheel (151) is operated to transmit an instantaneous inertial force to the wearer's shoe, thereby inducing the wearer to recognize that the wearer's posture is disturbed. At this time, the direction of application of the inertial force can be provided differently by setting the instantaneous rotation direction of the flywheel (151). Specifically, when the wearer's foot posture is tilted inward, an inertial force can be provided in an outward direction, and when the wearer's foot posture is tilted outward, an inertial force can be provided in an inward direction. In this case, the wearer can easily recognize the direction in which the foot posture is tilted.

[0051] As described above, according to the golf swing sway prevention device of the present invention, by having a main body (110), a fixing part (120), and a tightening adjustment part (130) of a specific structure, the outer side of the foot is inclined to rise and the inner side is inclined to fall, and an inclined structure is provided on the outer side to support the inclined foot, thereby forming the center of gravity of both feet inward, thereby preventing the sway phenomenon, and further providing a golf swing sway prevention device that enables a stable and accurate swing.
