Abstract:
A flexible elastomeric grip for a golf club having indicators on the upper face which indicate visibly to the user when the angle of lie is less than, greater than, and optimum when the user grips the club and addresses the ball. The indicator on its end cap indicates visibly to the user when the angle of lean is neutral or left or right of neutral by at least five degrees (5°). The visible indicator may be either by a changing holographic image or reflective coating. Another version provides a combined angle of lean and angle of lie indicator in an end cap on a flexible grip.

Claim (Index 14):
A flexible grip for a golf club shaft comprising:\n (a) a tubular member formed of elastomeric material with a substantially closed end and an open end configured for being received over the shaft of a golf club and having an upper side substantially perpendicular to the face of the blade/head of the club upon being received on the shaft of the club and a lower side opposite the upper side; and (b) an insert disposed on one of (i) the upper side of the tubular member, and (ii) the substantially closed end, the insert having a user visible image graphically displaying progressive changes in the angle of lie and the angle of lean of the club shaft wherein the image indicates graphically when the respective one of the angle of lie and the angle of lean is optimum, less than optimum, and greater than optimum.
