Set chip grip pressure to about four out of ten

On a 0-10 scale where 10 is as tight as humanly possible, the instructor moves the player from a 7.5-8 down to a 4-5 grip pressure for chipping. A lighter grip lets the weight of the club swing and release on its own, whereas a tight grip forces you to make the club work.
