Feel the Clubhead

Developing the proper feel for any given club is very elusive for most players but being able to do so, enables you to hit crisper shots in the center of the clubface. It's also extremely important in judging how hard to hit any golf shot, especially those shots where a full swing is not required.
A Helpful Test: Grip your 5-iron firmly and wobble it in front of you. You will tend to feel just the shaft. Now grip it very loosely and repeat the wobble. Now you can actually feel the clubhead at the end of the shaft. Lesson: maintain a very relaxed grip on the club.
