Hmm... it's kind of subjective, but I'd say the main difference between them is the feeling they suggest.
Clasp can be desperate or nervous, but you'll usually see it used in a somewhat hopeful way, or expressing love. It expresses a slightly more gentle touch than clench or grip.
△ She knelt down by her mother's hospital bed, clasping her mother's hands in her own.
△ He clasped the necklace in his hand... his final memento of his dead girlfriend.
△ I clasped her gently by the shoulders and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
↓
Clasp can also be used as a noun to mean "a device with interlocking parts used for fastening things together".
△ A cute little purse with a golden clasp." (a golden fastener)
△ She felt along the edges until she found the delicate wooden clasp and unsnapped it to push open the lid.
△ His hands hurried to undo the clasp of his cloak and spread it out on the grass.
Clench, on the other hand, is ANGRY. It's a tense word that makes you think of rage, terror, or grinding teeth.
△ The dog bit him, and he clenched his teeth against the pain.
△ She clenched her fists in rage at his insensitive comment.
△ His fingers clenched into fists at his sides as tears streamed down his face.
△ "I'm not stupid. Stop saying that about me," he muttered through clenched teeth.
△ The monster's footsteps were loud outside her bedroom door, and her stomach clenched with fear. (tightened with fear)
Grip is a slightly more generic word. It doesn't typically express any specific emotions, like clasp and clench do, and can be used in almost any situation. It does express a strong grabbing motion though, a firm grasp, and isn't as gentle as clasp is.
△ He gripped the coffee mug tightly, like he was scared she'd try to steal it from him.
△ His grip on the shovel tightened, and he glared at me in rage.
△ His knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel.
△ She gripped him by the arm, trying to pull him out of the haunted house.
↓
Grip can also be used metaphorically--when someone is "gripped" by something, they're being deeply affected by it, or it has their full attention.
△ The man was gripped by a feeling of excitement. (deeply affected by)
△ Some deep, primal fear gripped him. (he was deeply affected by an instinctive fear)
△ He leaned in closer, gripped by her story. (very interested in, paying full attention to)
↓
When you "loose your grip" on something, you loose your control over it, or you lose your understanding of it. You'll often hear this as "loose your grip on reality".
△ "All these strange things keep happening to me... I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality!" (going crazy, no longer able to understand what's real and what isn't)
△ After his wife died, the poor man lost his grip on reality.
I hope that helps! ^-^
