In this section, Shawn Clemens makes an introduction and talks about awareness in you swing versus you thinking about the proper swinging techniques when addressing the ball. Allowing yourself to practice freely is the best way to find the appropriate grip on your golf swing.

In this section, Shawn Clemens talks about grip pressure on address. When you hold the club you have to make the golf club a part of you of you in a dynamic setting. This can be done by practicing on your perpetual motion drill by swinging the club back and through without stopping and feel the grip pressure that you need to have so that your fingers are not moving on the club during the swing, your club is not falling out of position and your hands not prying apart. You have to feel that you hands can stay on the club back and through without moving whatsoever.

In this section, Shawn Clemens gives a bit of advice on how to determine if you are holding the club properly. If your feel like the club is cradled on your index finger on top of the swing and all the pressure are always against the index finger and not on the thumb then you are holding the club correctly.
