Gotta-Grip Golf Blog

Here's a question about golf grips. Under USGA rules, a grip that is "molded " to fit the player's hands such that the player need not look at the club to take his/her grip is deemed "non-conforming". In view of the remarkable changes over the years in shafts,heads, and the general use of "space age" materials, not mention much more lively golf balls, what is the problem with a grip that conforms to a players hand?
The player can in most cases mark the grip to aid in placing the hands. Not quite the same thing, but it seems to me so many other elements of the game have changed while very little has in the area of the grip. Would such a grip really change the character of the game any more than the amazing equipment technology changes in recent years?
