Half the diameter of the grip is in the fingers the other directed toward the palm.

The right hand grip is as important as you can tell by all the time and attention devoted in this one thread to the right hand. It should be primarily in the fingers (slightly more so than the left) and the hand should never be rotated under the club. It is better to error toward neutral (on top of the handle) than the hand clawing the grip underneath. By adopting the correct right hand position you can perform the correct cocking action.

Grip tension should always be monitored as part of the pre-shot routine. Light or 4 on a scale of 10 (10 being death grip) seems to be the best functioning pressure. Make sure that you do not have a tendency to re-grip the handle with the right hand before take-away as this is a common error usually occuring unconsiously due to nerves.
