Like Hogan but slightly strong
I try to form my grip just like Hogan from 5 lessons but slightly stronger.

I use the following checklist from one of Yoda's older posts:
Left Hand Grip Checklist
1. Grip under heel pad.
2. Butt end of grip not in heel pad i.e. grip sticks out a little
3. Back of left hand matches leading edge of clubface, plus or minus a little depending on the player.
4. Index finger slightly away from last three fingers.
5. Thumb slightly right of centerline.
6. Grip pressure predominately in last three fingers.

Right Hand Grip Check List
1. Ring finger touches index finger of left hand.
2. First joint of middle and ring fingers directly under the club - 'fingers grip'.
3. Little finger - overlap (rest on left forefinger, or gap between the left middle finger and forefinger) or interlock.
4. First joint of index finger pointing down the shaft, with a moderate gap between the middle finger. Pressure point #3 directly behind the 'sweetspot'.
5. Thumb left of centerline.
6. Grip pressure predominately in middle and ring fingers.
