What else should I be trying to monitor?
Unfortunately hitting a golf ball and hitting a tire are two entirely different things so far as the brain is concerned (to a lot of people). The tire drill teaches you the motion but you need to change your programming for the ball to have a FLW, BRW through impact. I like the idea of putting a dowel a few inches behind the ball, that will keep you honest.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
