How tight should you grip the club on wedge shots? Expert explains

Wedging expert Scott Fawcett, 12-time PGA Tour winner, advises that gripping the club too tightly can lead to many different swing issues and ultimately limit a player’s distance control. Fawcett recommends a grip that is firm but not tight, following the “shake hands with the club” technique. When gripping the club too tightly, the tendons and muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms will become tense, which can lead to a loss of feel for the club and difficulty in releasing it at the right time.
