Thumbs-off drill for light grip and clubhead feel
To develop the light grip pressure the soft shot needs, use the thumbs-off drill: take both thumbs off the grip so you hold the club in your fingers only, then feel the clubhead swing on its own momentum and hit a few shots that way. When you actually play the shot your thumbs can rest on the grip, but stay extremely light.
