Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely swing a head with its locus drawing a straight line and hit a ball in the direction desired by a player by interposing a rotation support means for swinging a shaft around the grip between the shaft part and a grip part. SOLUTION: A fixed shaft 4 as a rotation support means 3 is provided on the top end of a shaft part 1 having a head 2 in the bottom in such a state as crossing at right angles with longitudinal direction of the shaft part 1 and being in parallel to the hitting face of the head 2 and grip parts 6 composed of sleeves 5 respectively are rotatably fitted in a part axially projecting from respective fixed shafts 4. In this case, a roller bearing is embedded in the top of the shaft part 1 as the rotation support means 3 and the grip part 6 is rotatably supported by the roller bearings. This constitution allows a hit ball to hit surely in the direction desired by a player by supporting the grip part 6 at one hand and gripping the shaft part 1 by the other hand as a pendulum in using.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a golf putter.

[0002]

As is well known, a putter has a grip portion extending to an upper portion of a shaft portion and a head at a lower end thereof. When putting, a putter is generally a stroke type or a tap type. According to The stroke type is a style that a right-handed person swings by rotating the shoulder centering on the left shoulder, and the tap type is a style that supports the grip part with one hand and swings with the tip of the dominant arm, Both have their own merits and demerits, but especially amateur golfers generally use a stable stroke type swing. However, amateurs can overcome with their arms when they are Patting, their central shoulders move, and it is very difficult to putt in the desired direction, and even if they practice, they can easily correct their habits. I can't
There was a problem that mistakes such as two putts and three putts could not be reduced. The present invention is to solve the above problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

A solution means of the present invention is characterized in that a rotation supporting means capable of swinging the shaft portion around the grip portion is interposed between the shaft portion and the grip portion.

As the rotation supporting means, a fixed shaft protruding laterally from the shaft portion, and a grip portion made of a sleeve is rotatably fitted to the fixed shaft. Further, the rotation support means is constituted by a rolling bearing, and the shaft hole of the rolling bearing is attached to the shaft portion in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion, and the grip portion composed of the shaft rod is rotatably fitted to the rolling bearing. What I dressed as. Further, it is preferable that the shaft portion and the grip portion are connected by a rotation supporting means composed of a rotary joint.

[0005]

As described above, since the rotation support means is interposed between the shaft portion and the grip portion, the grip portion is supported by supporting the grip portion with one hand and swinging the shaft portion like a pendulum with the other hand. As long as the club does not move, you will be able to hit the player in the direction you want.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION According to the embodiment of the present invention, a fixed shaft serving as a rotation supporting means is provided at an upper end of a shaft portion in a state of being orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the shaft portion and being parallel to a striking surface of a head. It is provided and a grip portion by a sleeve is rotatably fitted on a fixed shaft, and by having the grip portion, the shaft portion can be swung like a pendulum.

As another embodiment, a rotation supporting means composed of a rolling bearing is provided at the upper end of the shaft portion such that its axial hole is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion and is parallel to the striking surface of the head. By gripping and supporting the grip part consisting of the shaft rod inserted through this rolling bearing,
The shaft can be swung like a pendulum.

In yet another embodiment, the grip portion is provided extending to the shaft portion, and the shaft portion is swung like a pendulum by providing a rotation support means composed of a rotary joint between the grip portion and the shaft portion. Is something that can be done.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the head 2 is provided at the lower end of the shaft portion 1, which is the same as the conventional one.
A fixed shaft 4 serving as a rotation supporting means 3 is provided on the upper end of the shaft portion 1.
Is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 1 and the head 2
The shaft 6 and the fixed shaft 4 are projected in a T-shape so as to be parallel to the striking surface, and the grips 6 made up of sleeves 5 are rotatably mounted on the fixed shafts 4 protruding left and right. It is fitted, and a stopper 7 formed by crimping the tip portion is provided at the tip portion of the fixed shaft 4 so that the grip portion 6 does not come off.

In the example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rolling bearing 8 is embedded in the upper end portion of the shaft portion 1 as the rotation supporting means 3 in a state that the shaft hole 9 thereof is parallel to the striking surface of the head 2 and the rolling bearing is formed. 8 is provided with a grip portion 6 penetrating the shaft rod 10 and protruding left and right by the same length. The shaft rod 10 is provided with left and right shaft holes 9 of the rolling bearing 8 so that the grip portion 6 cannot be removed. The closing flange 11 is fixed.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the shaft portion 1 and the grip portion 6 extending from the shaft portion 1 are separately formed, and the shaft portion 1 and the grip portion 6 are connected by the rotation supporting means 3. The rotary support means 3 is composed of a rotary joint 13 in which a bracket is provided at each of the opposing parts to be connected, and one connecting shaft 12 is inserted through both brackets.

Although not shown, the rotary joint 13 includes a universal joint, a joint made of a ball joint, a flexible joint made of an elastic body such as rubber, and the like. On the other hand, since the shaft portion 1 is swung in a free direction, the shoulder may rotate too much and the direction of the swing may be wrong, which is not suitable for the main purpose of the present invention. You can also hit with
Particularly, when the stance on a green with a lot of ups and downs cannot be normally taken, an appropriate effect can be exerted. Therefore, it is preferable to include the above-mentioned joints as the rotary joint 13.

[0013]

According to the golf putter of the present invention,
By supporting the grip part with one hand and swinging the shaft part like a pendulum with the other hand, the head will not be shaken in an arc, but it will be shaken in a straight line and hit in the direction the athlete thinks Will be able to.
