Hard enough to contain it, but soft enough to not kill it. If I am having trouble with my drives, I will choke down on the club and take a shorter backswing. Key is getting the clubhead back square to the ball, and that's easier to accomplish with a shorter backswing. Once I get my tempo right and back loosened up, I go to my normal grip and backswing. Give it a try! I was always ‘told to grip the club as if I were holding a bird. Hard enough to contain it, but soft enough to not kill it.
