    Lightbulb furyk-like putter grip

    Jim Furyk has had success using an upside down putter grip. Is there anything in the rules saying you could not turn the grip where the flat side is in the palm of the lead hand. I have been trying it and it seems comfortable to where I would consider taking it to the course.
    Thanks in advance.

    Below is what is written in the rule book under Appendix 2 and I don't think what you want to do is against what is written.

    ------------------------------------------

    3. Grip (see Fig. VII)
    The grip consists of material added to the shaft to enable the player to
    obtain a firm hold. The grip must be fixed to the shaft, must be straight and
    plain in form, must extend to the end of the shaft and must not be molded
    for any part of the hands. If no material is added, that portion of the shaft
    designed to be held by the player must be considered the grip.
    (i) For clubs other than putters the grip must be circular in crosssection,
    except that a continuous, straight, slightly raised rib may be
    incorporated along the full length of the grip, and a slightly indented spiral is
    permitted on a wrapped grip or a replica of one.
    (ii) A putter grip may have a non-circular cross-section, provided the crosssection
    has no concavity, is symmetrical and remains generally similar throughout the length of
    the grip. (See Clause (v) overleaf).
    (iii) The grip may be tapered but must not have any bulge or waist. Its crosssectional
    dimensions measured in any direction must not exceed 1.75 inches (44.45 mm).
    (iv) For clubs other than putters the axis of the grip must coincide with the
    axis of the shaft.
    (v) A putter may have two grips provided each is circular in cross-section,
    the axis of each coincides with the axis of the shaft, and they are
    separated by at least 1.5 inches (38.1 mm).
