Beginning Spline Smooth

Issue with constrained object

I am trying to find out the best way to fix this problem I am having. I have an object constrained to the wrist of my character. It looks fine when he picks up the object but does not seem to fit in the hand in other poses.  Also I need the object he is holding to have some overlap when he moves his hand. I am assuming part of the problem is the placement of the pivot because it is in the center of the object and not where he is holding it. Is there any work around to animating a constrained object such as baking the animation? Do I need to create a simple rig on the object to make this work or is there a better way?
