In this embodiment, the large wing 4 and the small wing 3 described above are made of plastic, but are not limited to this and may be made of elastically deformable silicon or the like.

A description will be given of a mounting procedure and a usage method when a right-handed golfer uses the golf swing training device 1 having the above-described configuration.
First, as shown in FIG. 5A, the user obliquely sticks the back surface of the wing base portion 11 of the small wing 3 to the surface of the rectangular portion 6 of the base 2 . Specifically, when the base 2 is placed on the left front side of the waist of the user, the S-shaped notch 12a of the small wings 12 is positioned below the vertical notch 12b, and the S-shaped notch 12a is positioned vertically. The wing base portion 11 of the small wing 3 is tilted and attached to the rectangular portion 6 of the base 2 so that it is located inside the portion 12b, in other words, on the side of the ball at address (FIGS. 4A and 4B). 4(b)). Specifically, the inclination of the wing base portion 11 with respect to the rectangular portion 6 is such that the back of the left hand is positioned between the center of the left thigh and the inner contour line of the left thigh when viewed from the front, assuming an impact. When the golf club is held (see FIG. 4(c)), the left arm is oriented parallel or substantially parallel to the left arm so that the left arm does not touch the small blade portion 12 of the small wing 3.

Next, the user places the base 2 on the left front portion of the waist so that the curved portion 7 wraps around the waist in the horizontal direction to the rear side. More specifically, the user should place the base 2 so that the upper side of the rectangular portion 6 is about the same height as the upper part of the hipbone, and the rectangular portion 6 is positioned not directly in front of the left front portion of the waist but slightly diagonally to the left. It is placed on the waist so that it faces you, ie slightly offset from the front and back (see FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b)).
Finally, the user passes the end of the belt 5 with the ring 9 through the rectangular notch 12c of the wing 12 of the wing 3. As shown in FIG. Then, the user wraps the other end of the belt 5 provided with the hook around the waist, passes it through the ring 9, folds it back, and attaches it to the loop on the surface of the belt 5 to fix it.

According to the above procedure, the right-handed user can wear the golf swing training device 1 on the waist and practice the golf swing while holding the golf club. By passing the ring 9 of the belt 5 through the rectangular notch 12c of the small wing portion 12 of the small wing 3 as described above, the small wing 3 can be firmly pressed against the base 2 by the belt 5.

Here, it is ideal to perform the golf swing under the leadership of the lower half of the body. Specifically, by using the power of the lower body to rotate the waist around the central axis of the body, and by swinging both arms holding the golf club, the maximum power can be reproduced. An ideal swing with high quality is realized.

A right-handed user wearing the golf swing training device 1 swings both arms without rotating the lower body due to the contact of the left arm with the small feather part 12 during golf swing practice, and the amount of rotation of the lower body. It is possible to recognize that the timing of the rotation of the lower body and the timing of swinging both arms did not match. In addition, when the user makes a swing in which the arm separates forward from the small wing portion 12, the user also recognizes that the swing deviates from the correct swing plane as a result of attempting to follow through in the direction of the flight line. be able to. When the user makes an ideal swing, the left arm is swung in a position close to the small wings 12 and parallel or substantially parallel to the small wings 12 at the time of impact and follow-through (Fig. 4(b)).

Then, the user repeatedly practices the golf swing so that the left arm does not come into contact with the small wing portion 12 and swings parallel to the small wing portion 12 without separating from the small wing portion 12, thereby leading the lower body. The ideal golf swing can be mastered, and the swing plane can be improved. This stabilizes the swing trajectory and face control, improving flight distance and controllability. In particular, since it is easy to master the swing that hits with the lower body and feet, so-called manual swings can be improved, and mistakes such as slices, hooks, duffs, tops and shanks can be greatly reduced.

Swing practice with the golf swing training device 1 using the small wing 3 is also effective for shots with a high swing speed, but shots with a short grip such as approach shots and control shots that do not require a high swing speed. is particularly effective for
Further, as described above, the inclination of the wing base portion 11 of the small wing 3 with respect to the rectangular portion 6 of the base 2 is such that the back of the left hand is between the center position of the left thigh and the inner contour line of the left thigh when viewed from the front. The angle is set so that the left arm is parallel or substantially parallel to the left arm so that the left arm does not contact the small blade portion 12 of the small wing 3 when the golf club is held so as to be positioned at . Therefore, every time the club is held, the correct hand position at address can be made a habit and mastered. The position of the hand at address is important for improving golf, but it is often misaligned in general swing practice. is very effective.

In addition, even if the user does not hold the club, the golf swing training tool 1 can effectively help the user master an ideal golf swing led by the lower body and improve the swing plane.

When practicing a golf swing using the large wing 4, the user places the large wing portion 15 of the large wing 4 against the small wing portion 12 of the small wing 3 so that the S-shaped notches 12a and 15a overlap each other. Paste to

The user repeatedly practices the golf swing while being conscious of swinging the golf club along the edge portion 16 while the edge portion 16 of the large feather portion 15 of the large wing 4 is in sight, so that the user has a better image of the swing plane. Therefore, in addition to the effect of swing practice using the small wing 3 described above, the reproducibility of an ideal lower-body-initiated golf swing can be enhanced while further improving the swing plane.

Swing practice with the golf swing training device 1 using the large wing 4 is particularly effective for shots with a high swing speed. The reason for this is that when the swing speed is high, the hand is pulled by the club head with momentum, and after the impact, the hand gripping the club passes through the outside, in other words, the arm, as compared to when the swing speed is low. is swung slightly forward from the large wing portion 15 of the large wing 4, the grip end does not contact the large wing portion 15 even if the user holds the grip somewhat short. Even when practicing the swing indoors without holding the club, the large wings 15 make it easy to form a swing image, and the effect of acquiring a correct swing image is high.

In the golf swing practice tool 1, the large wing part 15 of the large wing 4 is made larger than the small wing part 12 of the small wing 3, so that the user can make a correct swing by coming into the field of view without trying to see the large wing part 15. - 特許庁The consciousness to try works. Also, if the user swings the club with the arm or hand without swinging the lower body, the left arm hits the large wing portion 15, so the user acquires the habit of using the power of the lower body. When the user makes a correct swing led by the lower body, the user can easily recognize that the left arm is being swung parallel to the large wing portion 15, and the left arm hits the large wing portion 15 and the left arm moves away from the large wing portion 15. It is easy to recognize that things are wrong.

In addition, in the swing practice with the golf swing training device 1 using the large wing 4, the hem portion 16 provided in the arc portion of the large wing portion 15 and the trajectory of the hand gripping the club are linked (see FIG. 4). See (d)), and by taking a video of the swing and confirming it, self-analysis and checking can be done more easily and easily.

In general, it is a well-known fact that a swing led by the lower body is preferable, but it is difficult to actually master it, and very few people can master it. As a result, many people's swings are hand-made, and it is difficult to improve. In addition, hand-beating can easily cause lower back pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, neck pain, and the like.
On the other hand, a right-handed golfer using the golf swing training device 1 can master the lower-body-initiated swing and the correct swing trajectory as described above, and can exert maximum power accordingly. An ideal swing with high reproducibility can be realized. In addition, a logical lower-body-initiated swing is gentle on the body and does not injure the body, so it is effective in maintaining health.

In addition, lower body-initiated swings can be practiced in various situations such as short game in general, uphill, downhill, forward rising, toe down, compound lie, low trajectory and high trajectory, bunker shot. The user can improve the quality and reproducibility of the lower-body-initiated swing by repeating swing practice with the golf swing training tool 1 using the small wing 3 and the large wing 4 . In addition, since the angle of incidence of the club with respect to the ball and the face of the club can be easily squared, the hitting rate can be significantly improved. Along with this, it is possible to extend the flight distance and improve the controllability.

Next, a mounting procedure and a method for using the golf swing training device 1 for a left-handed user will be described.
First, when the user places the base 2 on the right front side of the waist, the S-shaped notch 12a of the small wing portion 12 of the small wing 3 is positioned below the vertical notch 12b, and the S-shaped notch 12a is positioned below the vertical notch 12b. The wing base portion 11 of the small wing 3 is tilted and attached to the rectangular portion 6 of the base 2 so that the wing base portion 11 is located inside the vertical notch portion 12b (see FIG. 5(b)). Specifically, the inclination of the wing base portion 11 with respect to the rectangular portion 6 is such that the back of the right hand is positioned between the center of the right thigh and the inner contour line of the right thigh as viewed from the front, assuming an impact. The right arm is angled parallel or substantially parallel to the right arm so that the right arm does not come into contact with the small blade portion 12 of the small wing 3 when the golf club is held.

Next, the user places the base 2 on the right front portion of the waist, and wears the golf swing training device 1 on the waist in the same manner as when a right-handed user wears the golf swing training device 1 described above. can be done.
