Soften your hands for more short game feel

KRISTIAN BAKER

Take your bag towel off your bag. Fold it in half, then wrap it around the handle of your wedge. Take your regular grip, but over the towel. You will instantly feel how the extra thickness and softness encourage a more relaxed hold of the handle. Hit a series of chips and pitches with the towel in place. Don’t worry too much about where the balls go; instead, focus on the relationship between grip pressure and clubface awareness; note how, with those softer hands, the wrists hinge and unhinge more readily and the movement flows better.
