    any advice or good videos for learning good tempo. Really struggling to slow down, especially from the top of my backswing..I struggle to hold my backswing and try and pitch / chip from the top, I just end up hitting full contact.
    I know there’s loads of videos but I find I go into overload

    It’s pure basic but I found those arm adaptors good for form. But honestly you need consistent lessons and weekly practice

    Get a lesson from a pro to diagnose what's wrong and put you on the right path. Self diagnosis and YouTube fixes can just drive you mad with headworms when it comes to full swing mechanics.

    Once you've got a path forward from a pro. Practice as much as you can to make everything muscle memory. All about reps.

    It's important to remember also that there isn't 1 single golf swing. You hit driver and irons in a different manner. Likewise pitching and chipping are even further removed from full driver/iron swings. There are a lot of subtle differences in short game, giving huge variety.

    For me the only exception to the YouTube stuff on technique would be Dan Grieve. The videos are a brilliant addition to his book on short game instruction.
