Putting Guide Posture Correction via Reflection and Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Golfers, especially beginners, face challenges in maintaining proper posture and alignment during putting, leading to inaccurate shots and inconsistent ball travel due to the lack of effective tools for correcting posture and focusing points.
Innovation Solution
A putting guide with a hitting part featuring distinct top surfaces and a side surface, a reflection part for posture correction, and marked reference points to help align the putter head and focus the eyes, allowing for improved posture and aiming accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a simple golf club structure is used, then the device is easy to manufacture and operate, but the golfer cannot control direction and accuracy of the golf ball
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a putting guide as an intermediary device between the golfer and the golf ball. This guide includes a guide surface that contacts the golf ball and a guide line that provides visual alignment guidance. The guide acts as a mediator to transmit proper putting motion and alignment information to the golfer, enabling accurate shots without requiring the golfer to have advanced skill or control.
2Productivity
If no posture correction tool is used, then the practice is simple and quick, but the golfer cannot correct body posture during putting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a mirror component in the putting guide that provides real-time visual feedback to the golfer about their posture and alignment. The mirror allows the golfer to see their own putting motion and posture from different angles, enabling immediate self-correction. This feedback mechanism helps the golfer adjust their body position and putting stroke without requiring an instructor or complex electronic monitoring systems.
3Device complexity
If no visual reference is provided, then the setup is simple, but the golfer cannot identify the focusing point during putting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visual elements including a mirror and guide lines with distinct appearances to create visual references for the golfer. The mirror provides a reflective surface that changes the visual perception of the putting path, while guide lines offer clear visual indicators for alignment. These visual cues help the golfer quickly identify the correct focusing point and alignment without requiring complex electronic displays or markers.
4Manufacturing precision
If a complicated configuration is used for posture correction, then posture accuracy is improved, but the device becomes complex and difficult to use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the posture correction function into separate, simple components: a mirror for visual feedback, a guide surface for physical alignment, and guide lines for directional guidance. Each component performs a specific function and can be independently positioned or adjusted. This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive posture correction without requiring a single complex device, making it easier to manufacture, assemble, and use.
