Improve iron accuracy by removing lag - Is this right?

[very handicap]

My game has improved by about 10 strokes after stop going to the pro. First of all, i would like to make it clear that it is no fault of the pro, and i believe i have a very good pro. The problem is more because of my mental issue. Let me try to explain.

The pro i go to is good in imparting good swing technique, e.g. good weight transfer, holding the lag and swing through the ball with a slight forward lean on the shaft. The problem is when i do this, even though my ball distance is going longer (due to slight delofting of club), my direction dispersion is very large. Hence, my second shot on par 4 usually end up in the bunker.

However, after stop going to the pro for a while, i told myself to do a rhythmic swing and do a nice and wide circular swing. In doing so, i may lose the lag and hence reduce the distance, but my ball is straight and always on the green.

Am i on a wrong path that will lead to tons of problem downstream? I know doing this is likely to promote fat shot if you are not careful, but i have been able to manage that for now.

As for the reduction in distance, it is the least of my worry as my 7 iron can easily go 155 yds.

Anyone play the second shot in this way?

"feel isn't always real"

Post an video of your swing if your really worried about it.
I'd say your still holding lag,

I recommend you get a video camera and film your swing. It makes things a whole lot easier for us. Recommending things based on your observations may do more harm than good.
