Just a couple of rules of thumb for you...

If you start to develop blisters - anywhere on your hands - you are holding it too tight. I play every week and often hit 200 balls in the middle of rounds and there is no trace of any blisters or callauses on either hand.

Remember - Hold the Club in your Fingers - Not your Palm...you will learn this from Ben Hogan's book...

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress and come along here to make contributions on other subjects.
