What is your opinion on hand strength for golfers?

I have heard that Arnold Palmer has very strong hands. Jack Nicklaus, on the other HAND, I have heard has small, rather weak hands.
So, hand strength may be one of many factors in the STYLE, or Variations that one may employ in their technique.

I know a guy that squeezed a gripping device all the way during his drive to a tournament (several hour drive). When he got to the tournament, he couldn't feel the club. You can imagine the results! I don't recommend doing this.

Strong fingers, but flexible wrists... is a phrase I often hear in connection with hand strength.
