Good topic.

...

Playing pressure does things to you I guess.....it seems that not many people slow down that's for sure.

Added anxiety.

As for practice swings....the way I see it there's no pressure or anything you're trying to actually hit so tempo-wise that can make a player smoother.....and usually you're TRYING for a nice tempo and Rhythm in a practice swing anyway....

....and also, clubface control doesn't matter in a practice swing. Not to say it shouldn't matter...but there's no ball to tell you if you've done it well or not.

intent , action and motion
People usually behave differently with different intent, for example:

swing (the club) v.s. hack (the ball),
rotate (the shoulders) v.s. swing (the club),
sustain v.s. throwaway (the lag),
.
.
.
.

999.9 out of 1000 intend to "swing the club" smoothly, yet "hack the ball" high, straight and far.

Only 0.1 out of 1000 intend to "sustain the lag" only.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
