I have found that pausing briefly at the top gives me more accuracy on long approach shots.

Tempo is important, but posture is critical.
I had my swing videotaped, and it became immediately obvious that I came up out of my posture at address as my back swing progressed to the top. I began to lift up and back instead of firmly holding my address position.
This is less of a problem with short irons and wedges because of the shorter length shafts. But, with the longer irons, and fairway woods for that matter, the longer shafts require a wider arc on the back swing. So, it is easy to slip out of posture. The fix that I employ is to slightly press my weight forward toward the target line, as well as toward the target, as I begin the takeaway.
The results are amazing.

Releasing tension is definitely important. I started to struggle a couple weeks ago because I was getting too tense over the ball. I had a lesson last week and without changing anything else but the tension in my arms, I was able to start hitting the ball well again.
