Hi Kino,

The first question about the grip, (right handed players) the left hand goes under the palm across the top of the fingers. The right hand if you think of picking up a pail of water and then putting it on the club. It goes more in the fingers, index finger extended slightly.

The left shoulder is an interesting question, I teach my high schoolers that proper posture will dictate this. I take a shaft and put it on thier spine at address. The head should be held up but in a natural position looking forward. This will help relieve any shoulder tension. You could do this in a mirror.
