I can slow my swing down but lose most of the power or stripe about 25% of my shots with loads of power but I'm white knuckling and erratic with the tempo.

What drills, YT instructors, etc you got?

TIA

Kind of hard to type out and make sense, but when my tempo gets out of whack I usually get behind the ball and set up. Dramatically start shifting my weight from right foot to left foot in a smooth rocking motion. Then add in swing and keep that rhythmic weight shift motion. Just think big and slow.

I just got one of these this weekend. I don't always swing my irons well, but do sometimes and can feel when I'm off the times that I don't. Since I started playing about 6 months ago, I don't know if I've ever felt on with my driver.

I swung the orange whip for a while and thought it kick start something in my head. It did and it didn't. I've certainly felt a few things to help load the shaft more in the backswing. But still have some problems with my release timing. I also realize it's not going to fix things in one day, so we'll see over the next month or so.
