Description

  The present invention relates to a part of an iron practice mat installed at a golf driving range or a golf practice mat used by setting it on the floor when practicing at a golf driving range or at home. It is related with the mat for golf practice suitable for.

In general, it is said that it is ideal to hit an iron shot on a golf course fairway so that the ball is caught by a club face just before the lowest point of the swing. Specifically, the image is such that the lawn and soil in front of the ball from the lowest point are slightly scraped (turfed) with the leading edge of the club face.
However, iron shot practice mats that have been used in golf practice ranges have a structure in which artificial turf is flatly stuck on a flat rubber plate, so even if it is slightly duffed and damaged. Since the club head slides on the surface to catch the ball, the ball often flies as intended. In addition, since the surface where the ball is placed and the surface corresponding to the turf are the same height, the mat disturbs the trajectory of the lowest point of the swing, and the swing is shaken. As a result, there is a problem that it is difficult to understand a miss shot and it is difficult to acquire an ideal swing.

Regarding these problems, for example, in the following Patent Document 1, a golf practice having a structure in which an artificial grass is marked and a turf portion is provided in front of the mark so that the turf portion is turned up by a leading edge of an iron club face. A mat is proposed.
Moreover, in the following Patent Document 2, a ground plate made of a flat flexible material is installed at the bottom, and a substantially trapezoidal protrusion is formed on the ground plate from a sponge-like elastic material. We have proposed a golf practice mat with a structure in which an absorbent material is bonded and artificial turf is planted on the surface of the shot absorbent material.

  Further, in Patent Document 3 below, the first artificial turf and the second artificial turf are provided on the upper surface of the plate-like base portion with an appropriate division area, and a non-fixed portion that is not fixed to the plate-like base portion is provided on one artificial turf. A golf practice mat with a formed structure is proposed.

However, in the golf practice mat having the structure as described in Patent Document 1, there is less risk of disturbing the trajectory of the lowest point of the swing by turning up the turf portion immediately after the shot, but when it is duffed However, the club head slides on the surface and catches the ball, making it difficult to understand miss shots.
Further, in the golf practice mat having the structure as described in Patent Document 2, there is a small difference in the trajectory of the lowest point of the swing due to the step in front of the ball, but the iron on the actual fairway is reduced. It is difficult to get the feeling of taking a turf with a shot.

Furthermore, in the golf practice mat having the structure as described in Patent Document 3, when the duff is made, the non-fixed portion moves or turns up due to the impact, so the miss shot is clearly seen, but the trajectory of the lowest point of the swing is It would be difficult to wear an ideal swing because it would interfere.
Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve these problems, and the purpose of this invention is to make a pleasant swing as if a turf was taken on an iron shot on an actual fairway when the club was properly swung. The present invention relates to a new golf practice mat in which an iron head is repelled in the event of a duff and the practitioner can clearly recognize mistakes.

In order to solve the above problems, the first device is
Provided on the pedestal installed on the floor is a rebound plate that bounces back when the iron head comes into contact with a track that is smaller and incorrect than the pedestal, and an artificial turf portion is provided so as to be continuous with the rebound plate. A golf practice mat comprising a tee portion for setting a golf ball at a boundary between a board and an artificial grass portion.
According to the golf practice mat having such a structure, when duffing, the iron head hits the ball in a state of being rebounded by colliding with the rebound plate. As a result, the positions of the iron head and the golf ball are greatly displaced and it is difficult to accurately capture the golf ball, so that a miss shot due to duffing can be clearly recognized.

Also, when an ideal iron shot is made, the lowest point of the swing will be located in the artificial turf immediately after hitting the golf ball, but this part is formed with artificial turf, so the iron head Can pass smoothly without interference (collision) with the pedestal.
Furthermore, since the iron head receives the resistance of the artificial turf by passing the artificial turf immediately after hitting the ball, the swing sensation is similar to the resistance sensation when turf is taken on an iron shot on an actual fairway. Can be obtained.

The second idea is
The golf practice mat according to the first aspect of the invention is characterized in that the height of the artificial turf of the artificial turf portion is substantially the same as the surface of the rebound plate.
This eliminates the sense of incongruity and provides the same visual sensation as when hitting an iron shot on an actual fairway. At the same time, the resistance at the time of a shot is similar to the resistance when taking a turf on an iron shot on an actual fairway. Obtainable.

The third idea is
In the first or second invention, the tee portion is a boundary portion between the base rebound plate and the artificial turf portion, and a through hole is provided through the tee portion so as to reduce the diameter from the back surface side to the front surface side. The golf practice mat is characterized in that the tee member is detachably provided in the through hole from the back side of the pedestal.
By adopting such a structure, even when a tee member for setting a golf ball is damaged by repeated iron shots, only the tee member can be easily replaced with a new one. In addition, by mounting this tee member in a through-hole that passes through the base so that the diameter decreases from the back side to the front side, the tee member is prevented from coming off or coming out onto the mat due to the impact of an iron shot, etc. it can.

The fourth idea is
In the first to third inventions, the golf practice mat is characterized in that the rebound plate is a rubber plate.
If the rubber plate is used as the repulsion plate in this way, the necessary repulsive force can be reliably obtained when the iron head collides with the repulsion plate.
A fifth device is a golf practice mat according to any one of the first to fourth devices, wherein a convex portion is provided on the surface of the rebound plate.
Thus, by providing a convex part on the surface of a repulsion board, the repulsion force of a repulsion board increases, Therefore A miss shot can be known clearly.

  According to the present invention, as long as an accurate iron shot is performed, it is possible to repeatedly obtain a pleasant shot sensation like taking a turf on an actual fairway. Is suitable. In addition, when a miss shot due to duffing is made, the mistake is clearly recognized, so that the correct iron shot can be approximated by correcting his / her mistake. This makes it possible to wear an ideal swing even at a driving range or at home.

1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a golf practice mat 100 according to the present invention. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the golf practice mat 100 shown in FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a structure of a tee section 40. FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows the normal swing track | orbit of an iron head when an ideal iron shot is carried out. It is explanatory drawing which shows the swing track | orbit of an iron head at the time of duffing.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 and 2 show an embodiment of a golf practice mat 100 according to the present invention.
As shown in the figure, this golf practice mat 100 includes a rebound plate 20 on the right half side of a rectangular plate-like pedestal 10 installed on the floor, and is continuous with the rebound plate 20 on the left half side thereof. In this way, the artificial turf portion 30 is provided.

The repulsion plate 20 is made of a member that is smaller than the pedestal 10 and that rebounds firmly when an iron head (not shown) contacts, such as a rubber plate.
Here, the rubber material constituting the rubber plate is not particularly limited. For example, natural rubber, synthetic natural rubber, styrene rubber, chloroprene rubber, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, hyperon rubber, acrylic rubber Any of urethane rubber, silicon rubber, fluorine rubber, and other rubbers may be used, and among them, it is particularly preferable to use urethane rubber having excellent wear resistance. Further, the plate thickness is not particularly limited, but as described later, the thickness is such that the lowest point of the swing of the iron head when an ideal iron shot is performed does not interfere with the base 10, for example, at least 1 cm or more. It is desirable to use a plate thickness.

Further, a chevron-shaped convex portion 21 is continuously provided on the surface of the rebound plate 20 in the width direction.
The artificial turf portion 30 is formed by planting an artificial turf 31 directly on the base 10 or on a base (base cloth) (not shown), and the height of the artificial turf 31 is substantially the same as the surface of the repulsion plate 20. It is height.
Here, the kind and material of the artificial turf 31 are not particularly limited, and known ones can be applied as they are. However, as will be described later, since the lowest point of the swing of the iron head when an ideal iron shot is made does not interfere with the pedestal 10 and is almost the same height as the surface of the rebound plate 20, the rebound plate It is desirable to use a long pile made of synthetic resin having a length substantially equal to the plate thickness of 20.

In addition, a tee portion 40 for setting a golf ball is provided at the boundary between the artificial turf portion 30 and the rebound plate 20 and at a substantially central portion thereof.
As shown in FIG. 3, the tee portion 40 is a boundary portion between the repulsion plate 20 of the pedestal 10 and the artificial turf portion 30, and passes through the hole 41 so as to reduce the diameter from the back surface side to the front surface side. The tee member 42 is detachably provided in the through hole 41 from the back side of the base 10.

  In other words, the tee member 42 is formed in an inverted T-shape including a bowl-shaped large-diameter portion and a cylindrical small-diameter portion, and is similarly formed from a bowl-shaped large-diameter hole and a long-hole-shaped small-diameter hole. It is attached integrally by being inserted into the through-hole 41 having a similar shape from the back side of the base 10. In addition to the structure shown in FIG. 3, the tee portion 40 may have a conical shape in which the surface side of the pedestal 10 is reduced in diameter (squeezed).

Next, the operation and effect of the golf practice mat 100 according to the present invention having such a configuration will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, a player (practitioner) who holds an iron club in a state where the golf practice mat 100 is placed on the floor so that the artificial turf 30 side is in the flight direction of the golf ball. Stand in front of the figure so that they face each other in parallel. After that, after setting the golf ball on the tee portion 40, swinging the unan club from the rebound plate 20 side toward the artificial grass portion 30 side and hitting the ball (iron shot) is practiced.

FIG. 4 shows a normal swing trajectory of the iron head when an ideal iron shot is performed, and FIG. 5 shows a swing trajectory of the iron head when duffing.
First, as shown in FIG. 4, when an ideal iron shot is performed, the lowest point of the swing trajectory is about several cm ahead of the position where the golf ball is set.
In the golf practice mat 100 according to the present invention, since this portion is formed by the artificial turf 31, the iron head that has reached the lowest point passes smoothly without interfering (collision) with the base 10. can do.

Also, since the iron head receives the resistance of the artificial turf 31 by passing through the artificial turf portion 30 immediately after hitting the golf ball, it is the same as the resistance when the turf is taken by the iron shot on the actual fairway. Such a swing feeling can be obtained.
Furthermore, the height of the artificial turf 31 of the artificial turf portion 30 is made substantially the same as the surface of the rebound plate 20, so that there is no sense of incongruity due to the step and the same visual sensation as when hitting an iron shot on an actual fairway is obtained. At the same time, it is possible to obtain a feeling of resistance at the time of shot similar to the resistance when turf is taken by an iron shot on an actual fairway.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when duffing, the golf ball B is hit in a state where the iron head collides with the convex portion 21 provided on the rebound plate 10 in front of the golf ball B and is bounced back.
As a result, the position of the iron head and the golf ball B is greatly displaced and it is difficult to accurately capture the golf ball B, so that a miss shot due to duffing can be clearly recognized.

Further, in the golf practice mat 100 according to the present invention, since the tee portion 40 has a structure in which the tee member 42 can be freely attached to and detached from the through hole 41, the tee member 42 is formed by repeated iron shots or the like. Even if it is damaged, only the tee member 42 can be easily replaced with a new one.
Further, by attaching the tee member 42 in the through hole 41 penetrating so as to reduce the diameter from the back surface side to the front surface side of the pedestal 10, the tee member 42 is detached due to the impact of an iron shot or the like, or slips out onto the mat. Can also be reliably prevented.
