JP7531086B1 - Golf ball directly below the left eye - Google Patents

Abstract

[Problem] When putting, it is said that placing the ball directly under the left eye will result in a good rolling motion. A practice method for this is to hit the ball with the left eye and have the ball fall, which has been published online, but it is unclear whether the eye can see when the ball hits the left eye, and which part of the left eye is hitting the ball, and even when the ball is directly under the left eye, it is vaguely located either above or below. In addition, picking up the ball every time it falls can hurt the back, and it is difficult to tell whether the results of practice have been reproduced, and since the partner cannot judge during the actual game, it is difficult to be certain. [Solution] There is a circle mark 2 the size of an eye on the ball, and when it is set on top and seen symmetrically in the center from the left eye above, it can be determined that the ball is located directly under the left eye. It is easy to address without strain, and can be made into a routine throughout the 18 holes. [Selected image] Figure 4

Description

This invention relates to a ball that allows the player to easily confirm that the ball is directly below their left eye by moving their left eye directly above the ball, making address positioning a stable routine every time.

Sports magazines and newspapers often emphasize that when putting in golf, it is important to have the ball directly under your left eye when addressing the ball. Such practice scenes are also available online. A search on the Patent Information Platform turned up 95 results for "golf ball circle mark," of which four were relevant. Patent Document 1 differs in the line marker. Patent Document 2 differs in the line mark. Patent Document 3 is about drawing small circles every 90 degrees to set the line, but the size of the circles is small and cannot be specified. This is not related to setting the line in a single application, so it is different. Patent Document 4 is different because the size of the circles is too large.

It goes without saying that putting is important in golf. For professional golfers, it is said that putting is money. So, all sorts of things have been proposed, including tools and practice methods, but it is ultimately a personal choice and there is no true answer. Here, we focus on one proposal, which is the ball position directly below the left eye when addressing the ball. A popular professional golfer who won an overseas tour repeatedly practices hitting the ball by placing a ball below, hitting it with his left eye, letting it fall naturally from there. The position where it falls can be said to be directly below the left eye. However, even if the ball hits the left eye, it is too close and the ball below cannot be seen. It seems that the ball is hit vaguely, whether it is hit with the left eye by intuition with eyes closed, or with eyes open but at a moderate distance. In any case, it is unclear which part of the left eye position represents the left eye. Moreover, with this practice method, the ball bounces off when it hits the ball below, and a partner needs to check and practice repeatedly, and there is a concern that the repeated picking up of the ball may hurt the back. Moreover, since this cannot be done on the actual green, no matter how much you practice, you are always worried about whether the ball is directly below you. According to the rules of golf, once you are on the green, you can pick up the ball by positioning it behind the ball with a marker. Then you can reset it again. In other words, this is your chance, and you can freely align the pattern and manufacturer logo of the ball to the direction of the hole or perpendicular to the putter face. This application makes use of this time, and the circle mark drawn on the ball of this application makes it easy to confirm that the ball is directly below your left eye. Instead of dropping the ball from your left eye, you can simply bring your left eye up to the position of the ball below, with the pupil-sized mark, the circle mark at its apex, and if you can see the circle mark in the exact center of the ball in a planar view, it can be said that symmetry from above is established, and it can be concluded that the ball is directly below your left eye. If it is symmetrical in the exact center, your left eye is directly above the ball without any bias, in other words, the ball is directly below your left eye. It is a simple operation that uses symmetry to move the position of your eyes. Simply place the ball you picked up on the green with the eye-sized mark facing up and look at it from directly above. From a distance, you can see a mark near the apex, but you are looking at it from an oblique angle. If you get even closer, you can see the eye-sized mark on the ball. If you get even closer, you can see the eye-sized mark in the center of the ball in a flat view. Many golfers are satisfied with this, but it is not directly above, and they mistake it for being directly above even if they are looking at it from a slightly diagonal front. It is necessary to check that it is the center, the very center, when looking around the circumference of the ball. If the ball rolls well, you can see that it goes in well. It is easy to judge this, and a beautiful trajectory and roll are those that have a satisfactory rotation pattern and can be judged by yourself as you improve. It can be said that you will naturally acquire a good stroke if you practice repeatedly. If you color the areas divided by the two lines that intersect at right angles at the center of the eye, the two parallel lines that touch the eye, or the two parallel lines that cross the white of the eye, the circle marks on the eye and the white of the eye, and the lines, the mixture of these during rotation will make it easier to see whether the roll is good or bad. The lines of the circle mark may be hidden by coloring. The coloring will mix with the white background of the ball as it rolls and fade, but the colors will mix together to create a new color. It will expand the world of creativity. Golfers' own coloring and coloring books will also show their individuality and be fun. To compensate for the faded color and to judge the quality of the rotation by themselves, it will be clearer if a similar circle mark is drawn on the back side of the ball, 180 degrees opposite, in the side views shown in Figures 7 and 8. Furthermore, if the ball is held upright and a circle mark the size of the original eye is drawn at the center of the circle marks on the front and back in the plan views shown in Figures 9 and 10, and made into the apex, the two circle marks on both sides will become two wheels, and a completely new mixed color will appear as it rotates, which is a discovery and fun. If two circle marks the size of the ball in plan view are drawn in the plan views shown in Figures 11 and 12 with the ball held upright, the circle marks the size of the eye will be in the middle so that they touch, and the ball directly below the left eye will be more noticeable. It is also expected to have a good response from the TV broadcast. Golfers are looking forward to the excitement and freshness that it brings.

To solve this problem, the golf ball of the present invention that identifies the area directly below the left eye has a pupil-sized circular mark with a diameter of approximately 9 mm to 12 mm on the surface of the ball, or the pupil-sized circular mark and a pupil-sized circular mark with a diameter of approximately 3 mm in the center inside the ball. When the pupil-sized circular mark or pupil-sized circular mark on the ball located below can be seen from the golfer's left eye located above in the overall center of the ball-sized circle in a plan view, it is determined that the pupil of the left eye and the pupil-sized circular mark on the ball are vertically opposed to each other, which allows the golfer to confirm that the ball is directly below their left eye.

Furthermore, the golf ball of the present invention that allows you to see directly under the left eye is characterized in that, in addition to the above-mentioned circular mark, a circular mark the size of the white of the eye, approximately 18mm to 24mm in diameter and twice the size of the eye pupil, is drawn with the same center as the above-mentioned circular mark, making the distance and distortion from the ball-sized circle in a planar view clear, and the above-mentioned circular mark can be clearly seen in the center of the ball-sized circle in a planar view, which makes it even clearer to see that the ball is directly under the golfer's left eye.

Furthermore, the golf ball of the present invention that allows you to see directly under the left eye is characterized in that, in addition to the above-mentioned circular mark, a circular mark with a diameter of approximately 40 mm to 41.5 mm, the size of the ball in a plan view, is drawn with the same center, making the distance and distortion around the circumference of the circle with the edge of the ball in a plan view more definite, and the above-mentioned circular mark can be more clearly seen in the center of the circle the size of the ball in a plan view, which makes it even more clear that the ball is directly under the golfer's left eye.

Furthermore, the golf ball of the present invention, which allows the player to see directly below the left eye, is characterized in that the circle mark is also painted on the opposite side of the ball, rotated 180 degrees.

The golf ball of the present invention, which allows you to see directly below the left eye, is characterized by having a circle mark drawn on the front and back of the ball at 180 degrees, as well as a circle mark the size of a pupil or a circle mark the size of a pupil and a circle mark the size of a pupil drawn at a standing position at 90 degrees in the middle.

The golf ball of the present invention, which allows you to see directly below the left eye, is characterized by the fact that it has two lines perpendicular to the center of the circle mark, or two parallel lines tangent to the eye-sized circle mark, or two parallel lines that cross the eye-sized circle mark midway between the eye-sized circle mark and the white of the eye-sized circle mark.

The golf ball of the present invention, which allows the player to see directly below the left eye, is characterized in that the zone defined by the circle mark or line is displayed by color or pattern.

When you can achieve the ball directly under your left eye, you can set the ball to the left of the center line of your body, and the putter head will reach its lowest point near the center of your body, so you can automatically make ideal impact with a moderate upper trajectory. Since the impact is made on an upper trajectory, the ball will rotate in the right direction, and you can achieve a good roll every time. It is easy to reset the ball with the eye mark facing up, so it is not a burden, and it can be repeated every time throughout the 18 holes, making it a stable routine. This routine is an important skill that top golfers should master. It can be said that it also eliminates the unnecessary confusion and complex worries that are unique to lost golfers. There is no need to lift the head. Simple repetitive practice is not a pain. Checking the roll is also an important task in practice. If you color the ball symmetrically, you can see how much the ball is twisted, and you can tell whether your stroke is good or bad. This is practice to eliminate the twist, and you can achieve high-quality rotation. You can say that you are one step closer to becoming a putting master. Coloring is also fun. The creation of mixed colors obtained by rotation stimulates the golfer's enthusiasm. Furthermore, if you place the ball so that the circle marks are on both sides, it is interesting to create a rotating mixture of colors as two wheels. It is easy to understand if you imagine the emblems on the tires and wheels of a car rotating. Whether you prefer fun, simplicity, or excitement, each person can pursue the unknown. If a professional golfer performs well, it will look even more attractive on television, and it is not a dream to be in the spotlight with the sight of their smile and impress viewers all over the world. Raise your left arm holding the putter high, just like at the British Open. The excitement will come again.

Common reference numbers are used throughout the drawings and detailed description to denote the same elements. Circle marks and lines include solid, dotted, dashed, and segmented lines and may vary in thickness.

Figure 1 shows a ball with a pupil-sized circular mark of approximately 9mm to 12mm diameter on its surface. When putting, simply reset the ball so that the circular mark is on top. After that, move your left eye, your dominant eye, so that it is above it and get into an address stance. Simply reset the ball with the circular mark on the bottom placed on top, and the pupil of your left eye that has moved to the top will face the circular mark on the ball. It's not that difficult, just face it and look at it. The circular mark on the ball is not larger or smaller than the pupil of your left eye, but is about the same size, so you can be sure that it is directly below your left eye and concentrate. The pupil of your left eye and the pupil of the ball will look at each other. If there is a pupil mark inside the pupil, you can further concentrate on the center, the apex of the ball. This makes it easy to confirm and be sure that the ball is directly below your left eye. In addition, while looking at the entire ball-sized circle in a planar view, confirm that the pupil mark is in the exact center, the center of symmetry. Even when looking at the ball from an angle, the eye-sized circle mark can be seen to some extent in the center, but if the ball is not in the center but is offset, the ball may not point to the apex, in which case the ball marker should be left as it is and reset so that the circle mark is at the apex again. The diameter of the ball is 42.67 mm according to golf regulations, and the equator of that diameter cannot be seen from above because it is a sphere. The diameter of the ball-sized circle seen from above is slightly smaller than that, at about 40 mm to 41.5 mm. The distance from the equator for a diameter of 40 mm is (42.67/2) * (42.67/2) - 20 * 20 = square root of 55.18, or 7.43 mm, according to Pythagoras' theorem. If the distance is 5 mm, it will be tangent to the pupil-sized circle mark, and if the tangent is taken, it will be (42.67/2) * (42.67/2) - 5 * 5 = 430.18 square root, which is a circle with a radius of 20.74 mm. The diameter is twice as large, about 41.5 mm. The distance is 7.4 mm to 5 mm, and 5 mm is half the radius of the pupil-sized diameter of 10 mm. Since the distance from the center of the ball is about 20 mm, it is necessary to concentrate to capture that it is perfectly in the center. Figure 2 is Figure 1 with the pupil added. The pupil is 2.4 mm to 4 mm, and is approximately 3 mm. It helps to concentrate. Figure 17 shows the position of the circle mark when viewed from diagonally to the side rather than directly above, and Figure 18 shows the position of the circle mark when viewed from the front rather than directly above, and there are surprisingly many examples of this assumption. In both cases, it is not directly above the ball but is biased, so reset the apex of the ball directly above. Or, since you are not looking directly above, you will need to move your left eye so that it is directly above you.

Figures 3 and 4 show a ball with a circular mark of approximately 18 mm to 24 mm, twice the diameter of the eye-sized circle mark. The center of the eye-sized circle mark and the center of the white of the eye circle mark are drawn to coincide. The small eye is surrounded by the large white of the eye, making the eye-sized circle mark more clearly visible as the center. On the other hand, the diameter of the ball is 42.67 mm according to golf regulations, and the diameter of the ball-sized circle in the range visible from above is slightly smaller, at approximately 40 mm. If you move your left eye to a position where you can vaguely but more evenly spaced and see the 10 mm diameter circle mark, the 20 mm diameter circle mark, and the approximately 40 mm diameter circle in the visible range of the ball-sized circle in the planar view, each of which is the same, you can say that you have obtained confirmation that the eye-sized circle mark on the ball is located directly below your left eye, and is definitely directly below it. The ratio of the diameter of the eye-sized circle mark, the diameter of the white of the eye circle mark, and the diameter of the ball-sized circle in the planar view is 1:2:4, which is easy to understand.

In Figures 5 and 6, the circle in the visible range the size of a ball in a planar view is not seen as an actual line, so if a circular mark is drawn there, it becomes even clearer and easier to understand. This circular mark the size of a ball in a planar view is close to the equator of the ball, so if you run your eyes around the circular mark, the distance from the edge of the ball and the distortion are immediately clear. Because there is a specific circular mark the size of a ball in a planar view, it is also easy to see whether the eye-sized circular mark and the white of the eye-sized circular mark are in the center. It can also be used to check whether the ball has been reset directly up.

Figures 7 and 8 are also drawn 180 degrees on the reverse side, allowing you to check the quality of rotation and continuity. The pupil circle can be omitted on the other side. You can also have fun mixing colors by coloring. For example, mix red and blue to create green, or color it in your favorite color for a fun effect. The women's tournament will also be fun to watch on television, and may help increase the popularity of golf worldwide. However, because the white surface of the ball takes up a large portion of the length and area when rotating, the color will be lighter than expected. Darker coloring is better.

In Figures 9 and 10, in addition to the circle marks on the front and back, a circle mark is drawn at the 90-degree position in between where the ball is standing. If you stroke with this as the apex, the circle marks on the front and back on both sides will rotate like two wheels, and the mixed colors will be fresh and clear, which is expected to create a more vivid impact on television. A poor putt will be immediately obvious. It's fun.

In Figures 11 and 12, the ball in Figures 5 and 6 is held upright and a pupil-sized circle mark is drawn inside it. When the diameter of the ball in plan view is 41.5 mm, the circle mark is inscribed between the two lines. It can be seen that the pupil-sized circle mark at the apex is now more clearly located directly below the left eye.

The two orthogonal lines in the center of Figures 13 and 14 indicate the target direction for setting the ball and the direction perpendicular to it. This helps to align the ball with the target hole direction when setting the ball, and can also be used to help align the ball with the target perpendicular direction by aligning it with the putter face.

In Figures 15 and 16, two parallel lines are drawn as two tangents to a circle the size of an eye of the eye, or as a line that crosses the middle between the two circles. The distance between the two parallel lines is 10mm to 14.5mm, which is roughly the same as the distance between the diameter of the circle the size of a ball when viewed from above, which is 41.5mm to 40mm. This gives you more confidence in the ball directly below your left eye. When the ball spins, for example, if both outside edges are colored, it will look like the two wheels of a car, making the degree of twist clearer and helping you improve your game. The parallel lines are set in the direction of the target. Also, if you set the putter face at a right angle to that, you can expect the effect of bringing a sense of security to your stroke.

Figures 17 and 18 are examples of the biased appearance that occurs when the left eye is not directly above the ball. Figure 17 shows an example where the left eye position has shifted to the left or right, while Figure 18 shows an example where the eye is looking from the front. Figure 18 shows a surprising example where the person has mistakenly thought that the ball is directly above, and so the left eye needs to be positioned a little further back. However, there are cases where the ball was not set directly above when resetting, so if the marker behind the ball has not yet been picked up, the ball can be reset by simply placing it again so that the circle mark is accurately directly above.

It's fun to color the circle marks and the divided zones made by lines in various ways and create mixed colors by rotating them. It also shows your individuality. In some cases, the frame lines may be hidden when coloring.
