Hey Guys,

My hands have been all over the place lately. In my fingers, in my palm and all over. Weak and to stronger grips.

Does anyone have a good method or information regarding finding your true grip.

This place has helped my game out so much.

I'm a bit confused about your question. Are you asking about proper grip technique or about measuring how much grip pressure you're actually exerting? If it's the former, this thread is wonderful:

Check out the thread that @dkolo

For grip pressure, you want it to remain constant during the swing.  So it should be reasonably firm.  As I worked on my grip (and still do) I do two things.

  1. I take my grip and start swinging the club back and forth keeping the wrists loose.  Then, while swinging, I increase the grip pressure for the middle through pinky in my left hand and two middle fingers in my right hand.  I still keep the wrists loose.  You will see that you can grip pretty tight and keep the wrists loose.  You want to separate these two muscle groups in your swing.
  2. I take my grip and stance.  Then I squeeze my fingers.  The head should remain pretty stable regardless of pressure.  If it is too high in my palm and not down in my fingers, the head will open and close with the change in pressure.  This is a good check you can do if your grip feels off in a round.
