TBall..if you hit the irons longer "swinging" than "hitting" than it sounds like it's a clubfitting issue. Hitter's tend to like/perform better with heavier/tip stiff shafts and swingers tend to like/perform better with lighter/softer tip shafts.

It's not a "stead fast rule" but it is a change that i've noticed in both clubfitting and stroke style.

For instance, I've been giving GolfChicago some tips on how to become a better "hitter" of the golf ball. I've gone out to his club twice and i told him the first time that he'd probably end up with either a lower lofted driver or something heavier and tip stiff in the shaft because he was using a 9.5 head with a Fuji Six (light and very tip soft) and he started using the same head with a heaiver much tip stiffer Mitsu Rayon Shax shaft and the difference was readily apparnet. Much flatter flight with less spin and longer drives.
