Feel a light grip by sliding the club through fingers

An old-school drill to feel a light grip pressure: lift the club up in the air and let it slide through your fingers, then hold it at the very point just before it slips, and bring it very slowly down. Feeling the weight of the club increases the pressure slightly, and that is the light grip pressure you want.
