grip on back swing?

[myke]

I am a right handed player and I am questioning exactly what my right hand should be doing as far as the grip during the back swing. If let my right hand loosen up during the back swing, it feels more relaxed. When I let the thumb of my right hand slip to the side I can get the shaft of the club to more of a right angle at the top.

Thanks for any advice

Slip a blade of grass between the top of your left thumb and your right hand covering it. The grass should not fall out when you swing. You can be relaxed and don't have to press your hands together to do this.

I was taught that you only use two fingers from your right hand (middle and ring) to "hold" the club. Then the natural V groove of your right palm fits over your left thumb. I've even picked up the habit of not even having my right index finger or thumb on the club when I swing, though this is probably just as bad as having too much pressure....but it's working for me at the moment...
