Description

 Golf club handle

The invention relates to a golf club, intended to be more particularly used by children, or even by adults who are initiated to this sport. It is common to observe in an uninitiated when he takes hold of a qolf club, to take it systematically, upside down, namely, the right hand holding the end of the club, and the left hand coming stand in front of your right hand. However the correct behavior of a club consists precisely in operating inversely, that is to say, left hand at the end to guide and direct the movement, right hand placed in front of the left hand to accompany the movement.

A golf club is basically composed of three different parts, namely: the handle usually called the "grip", the handle, usually called the "stick", the head of the club, generally made of wood and in this case the club a wood, or iron, and in this case the club is called an iron or a

"putter".

For each golf club, the weight is similar.

The object of the invention is to create a guelgue so a club grip reflex, by giving the handle a visual and morphological appearance such as spontaneously, one adopts a correct position of the hands.

It offers a qolf club, in particular for children, characterized in that the handle essentially comprises two distinct parts of different colors, the part situated at the end of the club comprising moldings intended to cooperate with the fingers of the left hand, so that the part immediately adjacent to the previous part has moldings intended to cooperate with the fingers of the right hand.

Advantageously in practice, the handle is made of injected plastic.

The golf club, in accordance with the invention can be used by children, but can also be used for the initiation of adults, or even serve during the training phase usually called the "practice".

Advantageously, the handle is removable and thus becomes an educational tool, in particular adapted to correct the bad reflexes already acute.

The way in which the invention can be embodied and the advantages which result therefrom will emerge more clearly from the example of embodiment which follows, given for information and not Limitattit in support of the appended figures.

Figure 1 is a general view of a children's golf club according to the invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the handle of the golf club illustrated in Figure 1.

In Figure 1, we can observe a children's golf club (1) consisting of three essential parts, namely, the club head (2), here made of blown plastic, so as to make the club lighter, the handle (3), made of hollow stainless steel, and the handle (4), made of plastic, injected composed of two parts (5) and (6), of different colors, said handle (4) being fitted on the handle ( 3). The club head (2) is fixed to the handle (3) by gluing In a complete game for children, there are two "woods", an "iron" and a "putter". The handle (3) and the handle (4) are the same for each of these clubs, only the head of the club (2) changes.

We observe on the part (5) of the handle (4), located at the end of the club (1), moldings (7,8,9,10 and 11), corresponding to the fingers of the left hand, and intended to cooperate with these said fingers. Similarly, we observe on the part (6), immediately adjacent to the part (5) of the moldings (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) corresponding to the fingers of the right hand, and intended to cooperate with these said fingers.

So, when the user, in this case a child takes the club, first of all, the colors, which in the long run, become synonymous with right and left hands, attract his attention; moreover, if in spite of these colors, he persists in his error, the moldings which then do not correspond, force him to reverse his hands.

From the present invention, several advantages emerge, namely: the positioning of the hands is guide, μ l pe rmel thus, from the beginning of learning golf to acquire a correct position; you quickly acquire the good grip reflex of the club, contrary to natural reflexes; this device can advantageously be used in minigolf and for the initiation of both children and adults; the possibility of using a removable handle allows amateurs to correct the often incorrect position of their hands.
