From Michael Lamanna, The Phoenician, for About.com

Check Knuckles and "V" Position

In the address position, looking down at your grip, you should be able to see the knuckles of the index and middle finger of your lead (top) hand.

You should also see a "V" that is created by the thumb and forefinger of the lead hand, and that "V" should be pointing back toward your right (for right-handed players) shoulder (the 1 o'clock position).
