GOLF TEE
Disclosed is a golf tee. The golf tee comprises a tee body having a head portion and a base portion longitudinally extending from the head portion and a ball-supporting section, provided on an upper surface of the head portion, including at least three supporting bumps located on a periphery of the upper surface of the head portion, wherein a spacing distance is formed between the adjacent two supporting bumps on a peripheral line of the periphery of the upper surface of the head portion so that a plurality of spacing distances are formed, and there is only one of the spacing distance being greater than the other spacing distances which are substantially equivalent with each other, thereby the flight distance of the golf ball will not be reduced and the accuracy of impacting the golf ball are increased.
The present invention relates to a golf tee.
BACKGCIRCULAR OF THE INVENTIONAs golf is becoming increasingly popular, various improvements for golf-related products, such as golf clubs, golf balls and golf tees, are emerged.
Golf tees, which are inserted into the ground by the golfers, are used for placing golf balls on the heads of the golf tees, so that golfers can drive golf balls easily. An easy-to-use golf tee can not only be convenient to the golfers for hitting the golf balls but also increase the pleasure of driving the golf balls for the golfers.
However, the conventional golf tees are only provided for placing golf balls, but not designed for facilitating golf ball hitting and orienting golf balls. The concave heads of the conventional golf tees are used for receiving the golf balls. However, the golf tees are to be rubbed and even be collided by the golf balls when the golf balls are hit since a large contact area exists between the concave heads and the golf balls, causing the hitting energy to be absorbed to some extent by the conventional golf tees. Thus the flight paths of the golf balls are deflected and the flight distance of the golf balls are reduced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the circumstances, the present invention is to provide a golf tee for increasing the accuracy of driving the golf balls and the flight distance of the golf balls.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a golf tee, comprising: a tee body and a ball-supporting section, the tee body having a head portion and a base portion longitudinally extending from the head portion, the ball-supporting section, disposed on an upper surface of the head portion, including at least three supporting bumps located on a periphery of the upper surface of the head portion, wherein an interval is formed between the adjacent two supporting bumps on a peripheral line of the periphery of the upper surface of the head portion so that a plurality of intervals are formed, and there is only one of the intervals being greater than the other intervals which are substantially the same.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf tee, wherein the base portion has a conical section tapered downwardly.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf tee, wherein the base portion has a straight section being connected between the conical section and the head portion.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf tee, wherein the head portion has a neck portion formed by being tapered from both end of the head portion to the center of the head portion.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf tee, wherein the supporting bump has a rounded top end.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf tee, wherein the supporting bump has a cylinder section being connected between the rounded top end and the upper surface of the head portion, and the diameter of the cylinder section and the diameter of the rounded top end are the same.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf tee, wherein the upper surface of the head portion has a ball-containing groove longitudinally extending.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf tee, wherein the ball-supporting portion is provided with a mark located adjacent to a position where the maximum interval is formed.
By way of the technical means adopted by the present invention, the plurality of supporting bumps of the ball-supporting portion can effectively reduce the contact area between the golf tee and the golf ball, and the maximum interval of the ball-supporting portion corresponds to the flight direction of the golf ball, causing the golf ball not to collide with the golf tee. Thus, the flight distance of the golf ball will not be reduced. In addition, the two supporting bumps adjacent to the maximum interval can lead the golf ball to fly along the flight path, thereby increasing the accuracy of hitting the golf ball.
The structure and the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve the above and other objectives can be best understood by referring to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
