Description

  The present invention relates to a golf club grip.

  As a conventional technique for a golf club grip, a grip with a non-slip groove developed for the purpose of preventing slippage at a grip portion due to adhesion of sweat or rainwater is known.

  As shown in Patent Document 1, when a golf club is gripped, the surface of the grip is engraved between the front side of the grip where the golfer's thumb contacts and the back side of the grip where the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger contact. The arrangement pattern of the non-slip grooves is different. On the front side of the grip, the sum ΣX of the X-direction (shaft radial direction) components of the anti-slip grooves is set in the range of 700 to 6000 mm, and on the back side of the grip The sum ΣY of components in the Y direction (shaft axial direction) of the anti-slip groove is set in the range of 800 to 4000 mm.

  The grip described in Patent Document 1 is intended only to prevent slipping, and does not provide an indication of how short the grip should be held when the golfer adjusts the flight distance. In the grips described in Patent Document 1 and known grips, especially when the distance is determined by a specific number of clubs as a grip of an iron club, for example, in a grip of a club that is frequently used by an approach such as a pitching wedge or a sand wedge, It was necessary to adjust the distance depending on the grip position and the size of the swing arc, but it was dependent on the experience and feeling of each person to determine which position on the grip.

  Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a golf club grip in which the club length at the position where the grip is marked and gripped is made accurate and the distance can be divided more accurately.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention attaches a plurality of marks along the circumference of the grip part or at the front face of the grip part at a predetermined interval from the end of the grip part toward the tip. It is a thing.

  According to the present invention, since a plurality of marks are attached along the circumference of the grip part or at the front face of the grip with a predetermined interval from the end of the grip part toward the tip, for example, in increments of 1 inch. If four clubs are formed and the club is a pitching wedge (PW), when the golfer approaches with a half swing, if he takes a short shot to the mark part 1 inch away from the end of the grip part, You can hit a distance that is 5 yards shorter than when you hold it the longest, and you can shorten it by 5 yards for every inch you hold. Of course, depending on the golfer's body shape, skill level, etc., the distance according to the characteristics of each golfer can be easily determined by holding it short by 1 inch.

The front view of a grip part. The rear view of a grip part.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows the front of the grip portion 1 (the upper side when the golfer grips it), and the circumference of the grip portion 1 is spaced from the base end 1A toward the tip end 1B at a predetermined interval, in this example, 1 inch. Three marks 2 are attached along the top. The mark 2 in the illustrated example is formed of a shallow annular groove having a width of 1 to 2 mm, and is formed so as to be visually conspicuous to the golfer. These marks 2 are not formed in an annular shape, but can also be formed by means such as color coding, printing, and engraving only in a portion visible from the front. For example, one star mark may be formed at a position 1 inch from the base end 1A, two similar marks may be formed at a 2 inch position, and three similar marks may be formed at a 3 inch position. it can. In addition, the mark 2 can be formed at intervals such as half-inch or 3 cm instead of 1-inch.

  In golf games, it is well known that nurturing a sense of distance within 100 yards leads to an increase in score. Since amateur golfers have little practice time, it is best to develop a sense of distance by specifying a specific swing width and a position where the grip portion 1 is gripped (how short it is gripped). As for the swing width, the swing from 8 o'clock to 4 o'clock (assuming the clock face is assumed), the swing from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock (half shot), the swing from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock (sleek alter shot), and 1 o'clock from 11 o'clock By combining the grip of 1 inch, 2 inches, and 3 inches shorter with the swing of the hour, that is, by combining four types of swing widths and four types of grip positions (adding when gripping the longest) One iron club can be divided into 16 distances. It is very difficult for amateur golfers who have a lot of practice and are not skilled like professional golfers, and it is very difficult to strike hard and divide the distance. It is easier for amateur golfers to divide the distance by swing width and grip length. For this purpose, the mark 2 of the present invention is useful.

  The grip portion 1 is mostly made of synthetic rubber, and a non-slip groove 3 is formed on the entire surface during rubber vulcanization molding. In the embodiment of the present invention, long and short grooves 3 are combined along the axial direction of the grip portion 1 (the direction from the proximal end 1A to the distal end 1B). A groove 30 having another shape (mountain shape) is formed near the front center of the grip portion 1. Except for these grooves 30, a group of dotted grooves 3A along the axis and a group of linear grooves 3B are arranged. Then, a large number of linear grooves 3B are provided on the fingertip side as compared to the base of the finger, and the configuration is such that it is difficult to slip on the fingertip side. In addition to the mark 2 described above, grooves 3A and 3B are formed in the portion near the base end 1A of the grip portion 1 so as to be orthogonal to the annular mark 2, and if it is a right-handed grip, the left hand In the portion gripped on the fingertip side, dotted line-shaped grooves 3A and linear grooves 3B are alternately arranged, and in the portion gripped on the base side of the left hand finger, only the dotted line-shaped grooves 3A are disposed. As shown in FIG. 2, in the portion of the grip portion 1 gripped with the right hand, that is, the portion near the tip 1B, the dotted groove 3A and the linear groove 3B are alternately arranged in the portion gripped on the fingertip side. Only a dotted line-shaped groove 3A is arranged in the portion gripped on the base side of the wire. Note that when the grip 1 is inserted into the shaft between the proximal end 1A side and the distal end side and the distal end side of the angled groove 30, it is confirmed whether the grip 1 itself is inserted straight into the shaft. A mark 5 is provided. Further, the chevron-shaped groove 30 and the point-like groove 3 </ b> C provided in front of the front end of the grip 1 serve as a mark for adjusting the head face orientation in the correct direction when the grip 1 shaft is inserted.

  In addition, a boundary mark 4 is formed at the boundary between a portion gripped by the left hand on the base end 1A side of the grip portion 1 (when right-handed) and a portion gripped by the right hand on the tip 1B side. Thus, the brightness of the color colored on the grip portion 1 is changed. That is, the color between the base end 1A and the boundary mark 4 is darkened, and the color between the boundary mark 4 and the front end 1B is lightened. In the embodiment, the base end 1A side is dark blue and gradually It is color-coded so that it becomes light blue. If the lightness of the color is gradually increased from the golfer's hand side, it will feel shorter than the actual length. If the length of the grip part 1 is felt short, the overall length of the golf club is also felt short and easy to hit.
