I would think this is true for full swings. Actually for putting I would say almost the opposite: a frozen wright wrist and a soft grip. For me a firm putting grip decreases the feel for length and gives me tensions which i don't want.

Part of the reason I like a heavier putter is that I can use a nice light grip and make the tempo of my motion like tossing a ball underhand. I agree, a tight grip with the putter isn't ideal. A bit like good pool players. Stroke through the ball with the right amount of force for a smooth roll to your target. The putter can really show you PP#3 if you just let it swing. PP#2 and #1 as well.
But a big part of the 'trick' is to keep the structure, while still keeping the 'swinging force'. As De La Torre likes to say "surrender to the club"
And as Homer says..... smooth, heavy motion
