This happens to me quite few times a round, on or around the greens, will sink a chip in or a monster putt, great feeling
I removed the long irons from my bag tbh and its been a great decision, very hard clubs to hit. I play with a limited set of 7 clubs. It has helped me learn the game much quicker and removed a lot indecisiveness you get around some shots.
I did the same thing a few months back. Experimented by slimming my bag down to the 8 clubs below.
Probably similar to yourself, I started to be able to get more consistent contact when moving between clubs and I was getting around the course more quickly. The trade-off was worth it.
But in recent weeks I started bringing a few clubs back in again (4-hybrid and 6-iron). If I'm not careful my bag will be full again before long
