Should the club be held pretty firm and lighten as the swing goes?
Or should the club be held lightly and firm up aas the swing goes?

Grip it tight, but keep your forearms and upper arms loose.
I recently saw an article with Gotterup talking about most people not gripping it tight enough.

Some pro was told that Sam Snead said, “grip it like a baby bird.”
The pro said, “must be a bigass hawk or eagle or something.”

Grip it like you are gripping a long tube of toothpaste as tight as possible before any toothpaste comes out.
I have really been working on releasing tension in my grip and through my entire swing. Nothing has improved my swing more in the past decade. I’ve added 10 yds to all irons and more to driver. Ball is flying higher and straighter.

What that doesn’t show is the grip pressure is much higher for a pro because they have stronger hands. Most ams can’t put the lbs in it like pros.
Average male tour player 60lbs
Average am 42lbs
Average long drive 80lbs
Strengthen your hands, don’t just grip it tight.

That’s because most am golfers have weak hand strength. Percentage of grip strength means nothing if your hands are weak and can only tighten to 35-40 lbs of pressure max.

I have enough pressure to hang onto the club. The only grip I have that is firm is putting.
