Not illegal, you can orientate ribs anyway you want. Paddy does his so the clubface sits MEGA open.

Where ribs become illegal is when they are oversized.

Not according to the Mitchell Tour Van "Padraig likes the rib turned towards the right side of the shaft, which positions the grips V-markings extremely open. He obviously does not align his hands to the V-marking, but does this to place the rib in his fingers for better comfort and control. Each time a grip is replaced, it is done by eyeball and feel by Padraig. So, sometimes it takes more than one attempt to get it just right for him."

I've heard exactly the same straight from the Harrington himself.

Can take up to half a dozen attempts till he's happy with them.
