Keep grip pressure light but secure for speed

The coach recommends keeping grip pressure light while still keeping a secure grip, and lightening the arms if they feel tense. He suggests a feel of about a 2 out of 10 - very light, almost like you're 'noodling.' His reasoning is that a looser muscle is a faster muscle, so lighter grip pressure can pick up roughly 5 to 10 miles an hour and may add some consistency and accuracy.
