Grip tighter with the lead hand from sticky rough

From sticky greenside rough where the grass grabs the club, grip much tighter with the lead hand - specifically the finger-through-to-the-pad top section, around 8 and even 10 out of 10 - while keeping the bottom hand light at about 4 out of 10. This stops the grass turning the club over.
