Should I mess with lag?

Or maybe more accurately adding more lag, I'm sure I have some right?

I kind of abandoned my armsy swing for what feels like a 100% 'body' swing it has given me incredible consistency but I'm losing distance with every club. I used to be able to get 275 ish with driver but even on solid shots I'm short of 250. Also I used to hit a 5 iron from about 200 yards but after trying it multiple times today I'm definitely closer to 180.

Anyway can lag help?

Yes... and a flat left wrist at impact (hands slightly ahead of the ball).

Are they straighter though? Losing distance to add consistently straight is a much better option IMO. :)

I decided one day mid way thru a round that i would try to use lag for my driving. I did this because i had been watching my friend's swing (4 handicap) and noticed he creates a serious amount of lag. My driving has been great since - i probably am not even doing much different to before but just thinking of doing this made me concentrate on something other than the outcome.

IMO, you should never try to 'create' lag, lag is a result of a good setup and pivot, if anything, try to eliminate tension and work on tempo...
