Somewhere in between baby grip and death grip.

Answer 3

don't over do it, it might back fire, then you'd be in a mess.....

Grasp it firmly, c**k it back and fire at poor Will

Answer 4

The key is not so much how hard, but how relaxed can you keep your hands when you grip the club. Generally, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being as tight as you can grip, you want to use a 3. The key here is that you maintain a "3" grip throughout the swing. If you grip it soft and then tighten up during the swing, you aren't helping yourself.

Answer 5

As tight as you need to baby yeah!

Answer 6

firmly with your left hand and loosely with your right hand

i have just had some lessons and that is what he told me and it gives you more control over the ball

of your left handed then its the other way round

Answer 7

Like you would your favourite friend.

Answer 8

It doesn't matter so long as you have washed your balls first

Answer 9

Grip the club as loose as you can without letting it fall out.  Once you start your follow through, your hand will naturally grip the club and usually it will be with the correct pressure.

Answer 10

Both hands very tightly, then slowly raise and lower your grip....always works

Answer 11

First wash your balls making sure the dirt is out of all the little grooves. nobody likes hitting dirty balls, they don't fly as well.

Then make sure the club is the right size for you, different people take different sizes

Then you need to grasp firmly, yet not too tight, you want to allow the shaft to move without slipping out of your hands.

Make sure you have a good follow through otherwise your "shot" will not be as good.

enjoy your game.

Answer 12

Your grip should be no tighter than as if you were clutching a little bird in your hands. If you grip too tightly, your arms tense up and then you can no longer swing freely.
