There are many many people on here better qualified to help you than I but perhaps the example of another high handicapper [me] might help.

When I am tensed up, over analytical, thinking of technique and trying to hit the ball I struggle to hit a 6 iron 150 yards in total.

When I relax and just think rhythm or tempo I can carry a 7 iron around 160.

That's not super long I know and some more accuracy would help!

Also I can't do it consistently yet, after only few months trying this the old me still surfaces, nevertheless the difference in the two examples is significant.
