Abstract
Abstract A fitting-angle adjustment mark for a grip of a golf clug is disclosed. The rear end surface of the grip, which fits on the rear portion of a club shaft, provides indicies or graduations of the mark directly or by means of an element separate from the grip at predetermined angular intervals with reference to a back line of the grip. The mark enables a golfer to fit the grip on the rear portion of the club shaft so that a fitting angle of the grip relative to a club face is accurately easily adjusted to a correct angle in accordance with his particular putting.
