How to evaluate grip on video

In general, what are some good things to look for on video to determine the degree to which my grip is too strong (who knows--maybe I shift my hands to a more comfortable position the split second before I pull the trigger).

I use the Golf Pride Grip Rite Swing Rite aid on my six iron and get my fingers and thumbs into what I think are good positions. But then when I look on video at the angle of the clubface at the top, I don't see a whole lot of difference.

If I actually do make my grip more reasonably-neutral, I'm wondering what the video would look like (with a five or six iron).

It's been a while since I watched NSA. But, I'm pretty sure he takes his grip in the left hand, then holds his arm out in front of him with a flat left and shows the clubface is parallel to his left forearm. That is a neutral grip and the club face will match up with the left forearm at the top when there is a flat left wrist.

You have been gripping the club real strong for a while and been refining the resulting swing pattern to where you are now. It will feel awkward to grip it neutral, it will feel awkward swinging with a neutral grip, and it will feel awkward getting the left elbow pointing down into the follow through. It took me a good year and a half to get comfortable hitting a ball using most of this information.
