Hold grip pressure at 5-6 of 10, not baby-bird light

SagutoGolf's closing grip-pressure guideline is that the grip should feel secure, not loose and 'loosey-goosey.' He references Sam Snead's 'baby bird' grip-pressure feel (holding the club feather-light), noting that Snead was a massive, powerfully built man - his point being that such a light feel suited Snead's exceptional strength. For the everyday golfer he prescribes feeling at least a 5 or 6 out of 10 - secure, not baby-bird light.
